I'm not abe to do the Windows updates, message warns me that the service is not running

I can't do an update of windows due to a message saying that the service is not running.  What this means and how can I solve the problem.

Hi EmogeneHutchinson,

·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

·         You install updates?

·         What is the full error message?

Follow these methods.

Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

(a) click Start, run.

(b) type msconfigand click OK.

(c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

(d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

(e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

Method 4: Follow the steps in the article.

  • I try to install Windows Defender but message warns me that year error has occurred, 0x800705b4 and time has expired. I go to help & support but can't follow the directions stated

    I have windows Vista laptop, installed IE9, service Pack 2

    Hello

    You cannot uninstall or reinstall Windows Defender in Vista.

    It is part of the operating system that you have been explained.

    As you don't say what your problem is with the Defender, this can help you:

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually activate new Windows (do not take into account information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

  • Windows Update message "Your PC will restart in 2 days to complete the important update installation"

    Original title: Windows Update.

    What is your PC will restart in 2 days to complete the important update installation?

    That is the message windows 8 gives, after that updates are downloaded and installed.

    If you do not restart your computer soon, windows will force a restart of your computer 2 days after that it has installed new updates - to complete their installation.

    You must restart your computer at a convenient time for you, rather than wait two days and have it suddenly reboot maybe at an inopportune moment...

  • Pavilion x 360: 10 windows update message deletion

    I finally understand how to remove this 'Upgrade to Windows 10' message that keeps popping up in my taskbar, but now, he's back!  I went back in my Add/Remove programs to see if I have, in fact, re-downloaded somehow (Microsoft Windows KB3035583).  He isn't here.  I think this might be an update from HP (I received a message once say that Microsoft was no longer supported Windows 8.1 and HP would take over the issues, etc.).  I think that this 'Upgrade to Windows 10' message may have been included in a HP update.  Can someone help me get rid of this annoying pop up in my taskbar?  I'm not interested in Windows 10.  I downloaded and tried and I hated it, so I went back to Windows 8.

    Thanks for your help,

    Dawn R.

    I thank you for your reply and detailed instructions (and screenshots)!  I'll give it a try and I'll let you know how... Thanks again!

  • 'Check' updates from Windows Update is stuck after that I have reset my laptop

    I refreshed and reset my laptop but it will always get stuck 'Check updates' and everything works so slow... than ever before.
    Is this a problem with my hard drive?

    OloberSaiko

    Sorry, but your reset laptop reset Windows Update.

    I recently had to do this in one of my PC and it took three days complete (!) for the Windows Update process finish.  One day find updates, one day to download and one day to apply.

    To add to the frustration, during downloads, progress 'freeze' to zero percent!

    So, I had it got stuck - but she didn't - and this is important!  Go to C:\Windows\Distribution.  If there are files and folders, Windows Update works, it is simply not updated status information.

    You can check that from time to time, and while its download yet, he will continue to grow.  As long as there are files and folders there DO NOT shut down your PC!  This will force again when you reboot.

    Sorry... but you just have to leave it on and it will run its course.

    Good luck

  • Windows Update (KB2463332) Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 fails (twice).

    I have not asked for it.  The update that is mentioned in the title just appear as a windows update, as usual.  This is not the first time that I had a problem with windows update in Windows 7.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit.  When windows tries to update my computer with the update described in the title, it fails.  The first time, it failed with the error code 6 b 2.  The second time the error code was 80070005.

    After these failures, I downloaded the service pack directly from Microsoft.  The name of the file is: 'SQLServer2005SP4-KB2463332 - x 64 - ENU.exe "I can't believe the silly problems I encounter by train to run this update.  He keeps asking me to find the correct path for various and different .msi files.  Not these files are in the file "SQLServer2005SP4-KB2463332 - x 64 - ENU.exe" and the installer should not know it.  Who is writing this software for Microsoft, at least, a bunch of monkeys?  I'm serious!

    There's a free banana in there for anyone who can provide the answer.

    I expect that all the monkeys will take offense to my request and that I will not receive a response.  I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that I really don't like!

    I wanted to just let you all know what I think about the quality of your work.

  • I tried with windows update and manually to download vista service pack 2, but these two don't

    I tried with windows update and manually download vistal SP2 but fails both: the process takes time and when download reaches 100% there is a message that says that the file is corrupted in the disk, I tried to check readers for bad mistakes, too, but the same problem persists.

    It may be a corrupted catalog file.  However, it can also be a corrupted system file.  In the latter case, the System File Checker may be able to fix it.  Click Start, type "cmd" in the search/Run box and right-click on the CMD icon at the top of the results pane.  Select run as administrator.  When the cmd window type "sfc/scannow" at the prompt and press ENTER.  When the scan is finished, close the cmd window.  Alternatively, you can try to install clean or safe mode boot mode.  See

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796

    The procedure should work the same for Windows 7 and Vista.

    Enter the Mode safe mode by starting the cold computer and pressing the key function F8 repeatedly as soon as the manufacturer splash screen appears.
