  OS: Windows XP: SP3

  I currently have problems to connect to Windows Update. I can't connect to the site at all and is the "this page cannot be displayed" whenever I try to open it. When you try to update Microsoft Security Essentials, I get error 0x80072EFE. I have already reset Windows Update by the fix in default and in aggressive mode with nothing doesn't.

  EDIT: I also ran several different viruses, malware, and trojan scanners so I'm probably clean them.

  PART A: Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4 reset the Windows Update components (again), restart & test: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

  How to resolve problems connecting to Windows Update or Microsoft Update

• U410 - cannot connect after Windows Update after restore factory when the time zone is not UTC-8.

  Steps to reproduce the error:

  1 use OneKey recovery to restore the initial factory settings.

  2. on the initial setup of Windows screen, select a time zone to UTC - 8, UTC (London)

  3. connect to Windows, open the Windows Update control panel and click on "Install updates"

  4 restart the computer to complete the update.

  5. on the login screen, try to connect or shutdown the computer.

  Result:

  Computer is blocked with the only desktop wallpaper and mouse pointer visible. Does not meet all the keys. By pressing the power button sleep machine. Press again on he wakes the machine in the blocked State.

  I have reproduced this problem 3 times for initial help restore every time.

  Wordaround:

  Before starting the factory restore processes, set the clock of system by 24 hours. After the end of the restoration of the factory, set the system clock to the correct time.

  Otherwise, wait 24 hours between a factory reset and try to install the Windows updates.

  Analysis:

  This problem is caused because of the way that Windows stores time. It assumes that the system clock is set to local time rather than UTC. When you use the OneKey recovery system he doesn't know what time zone of the system clock is set on, and so it assumes that it is set to UTC - 8. If it is in fact the UTC value, OneKey Recovery creates files with a time stamp of 8 hours in the future. This causes the Windows Update to fail.

  One step that I forgot to mention, that may be important:

  After the installation of the plant, during the initial configuration screens, I updated the time zone GMT London.

  Since the OneKey recovery uses GMT - 8, this can cause some files to have a timestamp of 8 hours in the future. Maybe if I waited 8 hours before the update of this problem would not occur. I'll test this by setting the clock system for 1 week in the past, make reset factory and then it retroactively to the correct date before the update.

  EDIT: Test successfully. This workaround works.

• Slow down the PC cannot connect to windows update

  I have a windows security alert "automatic updates turned off' when I go in the Panel screen won't let me turn on or off?  When I go to Explorer it does not connect to the Web site?

  (1) is this a recent problem and has it happened before, Ron?

  (2) what is the suite of security/antivirus installed; is it's subscription and current definitions; has whatever it is detected when the system changed was scanned with it?

  In the meantime, strongly suggests that you are investigating the system with the Microsoft Safety Scanner .
  Please post the results of the analysis.

  If you cannot download or run the MS Security Scanner then strongly suggest that you run this tool, Kaspersky - How to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS

• Cannot connect after Windows Update

  I have the same problem but on Windows 7. After installing the updates I can no longer connect. I get an error that the login or password is incorrect. I don't think that hurt, I type the password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  hpuszyns,
  If you are able to boot mode safe mode with command prompt, then you can use the DISM tool to remove the most recent updates.  Then you can see if you are able to connect.

  DISM to remove the updates.

  Start under System Recovery Options , and select command prompt

  At the prompt, run the following command:

  DISM/Online/Get-Packages

  This will produce a list of updates installed and packets.  They will look like this:

  The package identity: WUClient-SelfUpdate-Core-TopLevel ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ x 86 ~ ~ 7.4.7600.226

  Status: installed

  Output type: Feature Pack

  Install time: 25/09/2009 12:02 AM

  Find the most recent and then make a note of the name of the package.

  Then run: dism/Online/Remove - Package PackageName:WUClient-SelfUpdate-Core-TopLevel ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ x 86 ~ ~ 7.4.7600.226(name of update from previous step)

  Then restart your PC.

  You want to start with the most recent and remove them one at a time to find the update problem.

  Cannot connect because windows 7 does not recognizse my profile

  Hello

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. Safe Mode ADMINISTRATOR account has no password by default (unless someone has changed the password so it should be available).

  Some programs such as the Google Updater (if you added the toolbar Google, Chrome or Google Earth) has been known to cause this problem.

  Hello

  If you have another system then plug your HARD drive as a secondary to another system & copy below the files of this machine.

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe

  Paste these files in the same location in the C drive of the problematic computer.

  If it won't, then I suggest you to repair your operating system.

• Cannot connect to Windows Vista due to password problem

  I have a Dell XPS computer laptop model PP28L and run Vista Home Premium. When I bought the computer I bought in a pawn shop. Of course it was sold with no records at all. No recovery or restore of Windows disks. I have a valid Microsoft "proof of License'for my Vista Home Premium. Should I be reinstall Windows and if yes how I'd get the disks.

  * original title - cannot connect on Windows Vista Home Premium because someone changed my password, deleted my ID of the administrator and the guest connection. I am in the *.

  Your only option is to do a clean install of Vista.  There is no free, download of the disk.  Contact the manufacturer of the computer and they may be willing to sell you a set of recovery disks to reinstall the system (but you will need 23 digit product key to activate it in all probability even if sometimes it is not necessary when it is made with recovery on the same computer discs).

  Here is Microsoft's policy on software lost: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246 you can see is not much help.

  If you can borrow an installation disk of Vista genuine of the same size of the bit of ANYONE, you can use that with your product key to re - install the system and start over (you get a new administrator account and set your own password for him - or to leave empty that you choose).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
