  • Problems with the Microsoft updates do not install it.

    I have a new laptop HP DV6 with Windows 7.  I also have protection of Norton 360 on this machine, as well as the Microsoft Office 2010 beta on this computer.  From the beginning to use the new system, I receive regular automatic update of Windows to download updates; which I host regularly.  The next day, I installed Office 2010 - beta, I got two reviews of next update:

    1. Update for Microsoft Office 2010 file Validation - beta (KB976133), 32-bit expansion
    2 update for Microsoft Works 9 (KB967044)

    The problem I'm having is that when I try to install these updates, I get the following error message for downloads once they do not install:

    CODE 646 Windows update encountered an unknown error.

    None of the available online or troubleshooting fixes seem to work, and automatic update of Windows continues to find and warn me about updates to these 2.  The same problem occurs whenever I try to install downloads.

    Tonight, I got 2 other notice of update as well as the 2 that will not be installed; at the present time, all other updates seems to install just fine. For (at least) one of these updates of the problem seems to be a security update, my system runs into a problem installing them because of the software Norton 360?  Any help you can give me to get these updates installed or quit appearing through Windows automatic updates?

    Thank you

    It is without a doubt.  There were a few patches published today, and I was able to update all my machines successfully.  This looks more like a virus problem.  Have you run a virus scan recently?  Many times, if you are infected the virus will prevent you to access Windows Update.

    You can also use Microsoft Fix It to reset the Windows Update components: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  This could also be your problem.

    Let me know how it goes,

  • I can't uninstall all of the programs on my computer. Also the windows updates do not install. Windows Vista Service Pack 2 for x 64-based systems (KB948465)

    I think I have problems arising from the Windows updates do not install it.

    I can't uninstall all the programs already on the computer - I get the message "Please wait while the current program is finshed uninstall or changed" on every single program.

    Also, anything with an authorisation button freezes as son as I click on it without the authorization window popping up. for example. the clock or the managed task advanced details.

    This has led to problems trying to install other software for example. I tried to install a game that failed, because the .NET framework 4 would not install.

    You are correct George: whenever you access the site Windows or Microsoft Update, Windows Update will take care of updating itself. that is, it looks for updates available from the Windows Update Agent or the customer allows you to update your system.

    Since June 21, 2012 a WUA new version 7. 6. 7600. 256 aired by WU to automatically update itself its version now aged 7. 4. 7600. 226 .

    The problem you see may occur when there is a version mismatch of the file with the Windows Update Agent files, which is a mixture of old files with the new files. This is due to an installation "or damaged."

    You can take a look at your windowsupdate.log file located in your WINDOWS directory, to check the error codes - missing files or failling updated files (especially c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll, wups2.dll, c:\windows\system32\wups.dll or wuweb.dll).

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    This is a wonderful place to find answers and information!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums Learn how Post and more

    I understand that you were unable to complete the upgrade to Windows 8.1. but it is consistent that you have performed the update checking tool.  I regret having this difficulty.

    Have you had a running anit-virus that might have prevented it?

    Alternatively, you can try to install the update in safe mode with network.  Computers HP - Safe Mode of Windows 8

    Did you run HP Support Assistant to ensure you have the latest HP updates before you tried this?

    Here is a link to update from Windows 8 to 8.1 to help you.

    If you are still unable to update to Windows 8.1 I do a Refresh Your PC to solve problems (Windows 8) and then retry the update.

    The last option is to do a cover of the factory and in case of failure to allow the upgrade I suggest to contact HP support for further assistance.

  • I have a problem with the background update

    I pushed on Adobe Acrobat Reader DC via MSI for all my workstations that are Windows 7 machines.  The installation went without any problems, but I didn't know that the program updates automatically and it is in the diary of the events of these errors.  Product: Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - update '{AC76BA86-7AD7-0000-2550-AC0F084E7200}' could not be installed. Error code 1625. Windows Installer can create logs to help solve the problems with the installation of software packages.  Is there a way I can either A) disable these automatic updates or B) force these updates to cross even without administrator privileges?

    Hi orangejake1990,

    Disable you updates in Acrobat Reader ms, please refer to this link Windows updates.

    Otherwise, you can manually download the updates Adobe - Adobe Reader: for Windows & push.

    All of a sudden the app store came with updates for 4 items, the observer of the team, finance, travel and news.
