• Error code 8E5E0147, impossible to get Windows Update to work

  When I try to download windows updates I get the following error code: "8e5e0147" and none of the updates will be installed. I now like 15 important updates.

  I already searched this forum and other forums of solutions, but none of those I've tried seems to fix the problem. That's what I tried:

  • Disabled Antivirus and firewall software
  • Tried to install updates and
  • Manually install the updates by microsoft download. This give me an error code, just "failed to install".
  • Run a checkdisk, no errors.
  I would be really happy for more information, which will solve this problem for me. It is very annoying. It is the system that I use if that would be any help:
  HP Pavilion dv 7 laptop
  Windows 7 Edition Home Premium x 64
  Intel Core i7

• Impossible to get windows update or microsoft update to work after the factory restore

  I just restored my computer laptop runnung xp sp2 to factory settings and now I cannont get windows update to function (0x8024400A error code) and I can not update microsoft to work (error code 0 x 80240036).  I can access the internet, navigate, dl files etc. just can't get windows updates.  I disabled the firewall and antivirus still cannot operate.  Tried to fix it, SP3, but must for this and I can't seem to install manually.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

  Okay, roll up your sleeves! :-)

  (For best results, download all the Setup files below before you restore your computer to its factory settings. Files can be downloaded or copied to a USB flash drive).
  
  Preliminary work:

  Download the installation files (only if necessary!) SP2, SP3, IE8 and Avira Antivirus (beforehand). I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of four files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2) (Note: you don't need to install SP2 if your home is already SP2 or SP1 even.)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  http://www.Avira.com/en/Avira-Free-Antivirus (for FREE of Avira version)

  1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

  2. turn your PC to its factory settings.

  3. remove the PC-Cillin was COMPLETELY (see above).

  4. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

  Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

  Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

  5 install SP2 (only if necessary!). Restart TWICE.

  6. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

  8. install anti-virus software.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  9 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

  Start | Control Panel | Security Center

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

  10 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

  11. reactivate the automatic updates.

• I got the Conficker virus and now I can't get Windows Update to work

  I got the Conficker Virus/worm infected my system, but have now got rid of him (I think).

  I noticed yesterday that Windows Update has just stopped working, it has a red symbol X and said 'windows update cannot currently check updates because the service is not running'. Then, I figured that it could be a virus and tried to download AVG anti-virus, but the virus stopped me to access a website or a program to do with protection against viruses (including all Microsoft sites). Finally, I used a separate laptop and negative to download AVG and some other anti-virus/malware programs and down them mode without failure. I then ran Windows malware removal tool. That seems to have gotten rid of the virus (which has been identified as Conficker), I can now go to any Web site, so it seems that the virus is gone or disabled.

  However I can not even access Windows Update. My guess is the virus disabled some component of it, but how now operate again? Is it possible to re-enable it manually? Or y at - it something that I can download to fix?

  Hello

  Conficker often comes with other malware, so once you think that you're rid of him real problems then begin run through

• Unable to get Windows Update after formatting

  Hi, my computer was not working and decided to format. When I formatted, he reversed himself to XP/SP2. Now I can't get Windows Update to work. I can't update Windows Update, install Microsoft Updates or get updates, not even when I tried to do it from the website. The website shows a couple of updates, but when I try to download/install, it fails.

  It seems I need to update to SP3 to get updates, but when I try this, told me to go to the updates of Windows. And once again. I can't do this, because it does not work. Is there anything I can do to update to SP3 and get my updates?  Thank you

  My computer has been pretty well updated, but now it's back to its native form:

  Windows XP/SP2

  IE6

  Have not reinstalled AV, because the computer is not letting me do

• Cannot get Windows Update to download updates continuous Error 0x80072EFD

  System is running Windows XP Home SP3. I tried all that in the article above and still can not get Windows to date. Microsoft Fix - it that starts automatically when you will allow you to join the article don't fix things not be and it gives me the same error code 0x80072EFD as the update of Windows. I can install updates from the Windows Update Catalog, but I can't just Windows Update to work. During execution of the controls in the article when I typed in Sfc.exe a Black Madonna window appears and disappears. There is Norton on that computer that causing Internet Explorer do not allow access to the internet and the Norton Removal Tool has been used to remove it. Immediately I could access the internet but when even could not get Windows Update to download updates. I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and still no help. I installed AVG and it finds several viruses on the computer, they were removed and still nothing with Windows Update. I even tried turning off AVG and nothing helped. Help! Frustrated.

  Ok...

  And how did you determine that the computer is no longer infected (i.e., by whatever it is)?

  What is now the computer state to Windows Update?

  Care of you answer all the question in my previous answer?

• Cannot get beyond error 0x8024D007 when trying to get Windows Update or Microsoft Update

  I tried to get the Windows Update and Microsoft Update on a Windows XP computer as well, but I got the error 0x8024D007 with both.  In view of this error message on your site, I did the registry fix and still no change.

  It took me awhile, but I found a solution that worked for me.

  1. Remove Service Pack 3 - if in Control Panel , you do not have an option delete, just Start, run and type: c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spuninst.exe

  After removing SP3 restart. Now, go to Windows Update and it should load fine. Go ahead and install high priority updates and reboot again.

  2. reinstall Service Pack 3 - it is better to just download the .exe for SP3 file and run it from the machine rather than using Windows Update to download and install. Before you try to run the .exe however, go ahead and avoid the "Access denied" error by typing this command in a command prompt window:

  secedit/configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb/verbose (Pay attention to the spaces)

  Now you can reinstall the SP3 and Windows Update should work again. If you get hooked to the last part of the installation which is "Scene cleanup", make sure that you have given him enough time to finish (a few hours) then simply open the the Task Manager and end of the process. Reboot, and you're good to go.

  * This fix also worked on a Server 2003 that had the same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled SP2 using the same method. It is now up and running and pulling on the updates.

  Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.

  Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?

  Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.

  Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

• Windows Update stopped working.

  I have the 64 bit version of Windows 7 SP1 installed on my laptop [Dell Studio 1747 with processor i7 4 GB RAM & 750 GB hard drive.  Windows Update stopped working on my machine.  All updates through April 19, 2016 have been installed.  I already did the following:

  (1) installed the previous images dating back to several months

  (2) only run WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab to get error # 0 x 80070005 several times

  (3) race reset Win Update.bat unsuccessfully

  (4) run MicrosoftEasyFix20179.mini.diagcab without success

  (5) I tried install subinacl.msi and runs the recommended Reset.cmd file

  (6) installed WindowsUpdateAgent-7, 6 - x 64 .exe

  All the latter were applied as suggested on the Microsoft Support Website.  None of these maneuvers in addition to the various applications of my antiviral software and malware, brought any resolution of the problem.  I would appreciate any suggestion short of a new facility, because I can't seem to find anywhere, all the new boards.

  I don't know what worked, but Windows Update started to update itself again.  What I don't have, though, was to limit the number of updates, I got the update at some point, less than 30.  I read a post at one point noted that a large number of updates may increase the risk of errors of download and installation.  I had some mistakes on the first download, but those corrected when I download tracking the rest of the updates.  I do not wish that Microsoft would create a repair or update protocol independent site, because it seems that this is not an uncommon problem.
