  • Get Windows Update, error: 80070490.

    Original title: Get Windows Update errors

    I have a Samsung NP350V5C-S09AU.

    I did a restore (full reset/factory setting) due to a previous issue in which I can not enter safe mode and start windows because of the failure in updating graphics driver (managed to do a complete reset via advanced startup).

    After the restoration of the system, I used SW Update to download the drivers first then checked and installed the windows updates. I ignored the prompt to reboot the PC SW update because I waited for the restart of the PC of Windows Update service prompt (that's what I before I did a restore and even managed to safely update to windows 8.1).

    After the reboot, it doesn't seem to be anything wrong (showed the usual for update and other progression). Then I reopened it SW Update again to search for any other driver updates, met a little a problem to update driver Bluetooth but has managed to install it successfully. However it does not appear to update to 2.0.0.7x 2.0.0.38 'settings', then I felt that I should just give 2.0.0.38 until I have install more updates to the window.

    Before you install any other updates, I checked windows update history and find facilities failed (error 80070490); I went and did a few things such as troubleshooting and SFC scans via admin cmd.

    Troubleshoot has trained and found "Windows Update components must be repaired" and "Find files missing or corrupted", both correction has been marked as fixed (auto-fix option). I ran out again to double check if it has been set, but even after several times, it shows the same results of these two issues have been found, but attaches.

    SFC scans by admin cmd has led, in a first step, "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and managed to repair their." Details are provided in convertible bonds. Newspaper %WinDir% \Logs\CBS\CBS.log. ». I used troubleshoot and always found the same errors as above and ran Scan SFC, where this time it gave rise to ""Windows Resource Protection did not find any breach of integrity. "."
