I recently got my computer to factory settings and now is in sp2.

Yet, the updates do not work.

I tried the update manually from sp2 to sp3 but it first asks me set my computer to sp2.

I do not understand why he asked my upgrade to sp2 first when the computer already is sp2.

Please help me. Been stuck like this for a while already.

  • Computer used will not let me activate Windows 8 after factory reset

    Hello!

    I recently bought a used laptop from Samsung. When I got to the computer, he had the previous owners info, photos, etc... So I did a factory reset using Samsungs embedded software. All seemed well, I was working with computer, watching stuff online until I got a message saying that I need to activate Windows. When I tried, it said that "the product key failed. error 0xC004003.

    The computer have some recent work on the motherboard before I bought it. I even tried to activate by phone. Did not work.

  • Activate windows 8 after factory reset

    Recently, I bought an SSD to speed up my computer. I used a program to extract the product code and backed up my files. Then did a factory reset on windows 8 and transferred all the data of my SSD, when windows asks for the code I entered in the code that I extracted with the program, which did not work, because, I think because I installed windows media Center on my PC. I bought windows 8 with the 'Windows anytime upgrade offer' a year ago, I previously ran windows 7 Professional, now win 8 pro. the code given with my PC did not work as well. activation of the phone did not work too well, so what to do next?

    Hi all

    I was faced with problems similar to this (Gallery crash after update OTA ICS)

    https://forums.Motorola.com/posts/61d8193cf3?start=46&stop=60

    I've been following the thread and did a reset.

    Now, I find that the problem is solved, but the user interface after factory reset is different from the original user interface that comes with

    Update of ICS. I kinda like the previous user interface. I guess it's Motoblur. Is it possible to get that back.

    Yes, you should be able to reinstall, but if you can you should disable before resetting the machine.  Otherwise, if the two license activations were used and no reset you will need to contact Adobe Support by chat and ask them to reset your activations.

  • HP Mini 210-4120: Windows Update does not work after the Reset HP Mini 210-4120 factory

    Following the advice in another post on this site, in order to create a "clean" installation and his work & Office Starter (they do now--they have not before) I did a reset to factory of the recovery partition. (Trying to create discs of recovery or a USB key on the two brackets to the stage of checking).

    The new game worked well, without error, BUT try as I might, I can't have the updates of Windows to work. If tried to re - adjust the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder, sfc/scannow (no errors found) and using the powerful Microsoft FixIt which is supposed to re - install the Windows Update service - all without success.

    I read on a post no HP (but I can't remember where!) someone finds this problem caused by a chip Intel driver, so maybe that could be applied to my PC.  However, since the factory Reset recovery Partion includes SP1, I would have thought that at least the system should download updates!

    I get no error message, it justs waits... and waits... and waits.  I let wait for 90 minutes, but there is still no sign of activity.

    I hope someone knows how to solve this problem otherwise I'll have to go back on my installation of non - Office Starter - his, no. (Who, fortunately, I have a couple of image.)

    Hello:

    I get it, I guess.

    I thought that you also had a simple W7 starter installation disc (which must be done by editing the efi cfg file in any drive of W7 installation), and then you use the product key on the case of the laptop to turn on.

    I knew that you had tried the partition recovery without result.

    I was in the middle of the answer I have provided the link for audio driver, and I see that you already have.

  • Is no longer able to install windows updates after factory reset (windows service exception / failure set up the updates of windows roll back)

    So suddenly, I wanted to start my 3 month old laptop, but found that it was getting a system service exception.

    After hours of troubleshooting, I decided to go with a clean installed, this has completely fine until I installed the updates of windows (I have to install these updates to return Windows 8.1)

    After you install all the following updates occurs after a reboot:

    -Default configuration of the windows updates, roll back later, I get a system service exception.

    - Or directly a system service exception.

    These problems are solveable by a system restore to a point that has no updates.

    The next thing I could try is install the updates of windows 1 by 1 to see the update is causing this particular problem.

    If anyone has a way to solve this problem please help.

  • Is it possible to receive all the updates for Windows XP after re-installing?

    I realize that Microsoft no longer make new updates for Windows XP (form apart recent exception), but I was about to run a complete reset of my Windows XP Netbook when I thought to myself "I'll be able to get the updates?"

    So my question is just that, if I turn my Windows XP Netbookreset, it will download all the necessary updates, to the point where Microsoft stopped, making them?

    If not, is there another way to get the updates, I would need, or is it better to not run the factory reset at all.

    Your help is very appreciated,

    Sylar

    Yes, Windows Update will always offer updates for XP that were issued before April 8, 2014.

    There is a catch, however, (which may apply to the vilidjit) - Windows Update won't work for XP, unless service pack 3 is already installed.  It is also possible that it will not work until IE 8 is installed, but I'm less sure of that.

    If your computer is running after a 'restoration provided the factory' earlier level of service pack for XP, you must download and install service packs manually.  If you have no service pack, you need to install sp2 before you install sp3 (if you have sp 1 or sp1a, you don't need sp2).

    If you did a "restore to factory conditions", don't forget to uninstall any free trial of an antivirus program (the free trial period will be long expired).  Use the appropriate removal of the manufacturer of the virus program tool.

  • HP ENVY m6-1125dx: Beats Audio In/Out-put pilot missing AFTER Factory Reset/OfficeProgram reinstalling Windows

    Hello

    So about three months ago I had a problem with my HP mouse and browser. both were glitching on screen and does not allow me to type consistently or right-click (to copy, paste, etc.). After seeking help from technology College friends, HP reps (which were not useful since my ch isn't under warranty anymore) and work friends, no one would understand it. I decided to make a setting reset according to which did not help. Then, a factory reset. Finally, it fixed my problem, yay no glitching more! So I contacted Microsoft to reinstall my Microsoft Office. After I have reset a computer and everything was in order, I hung up with them. By attempting to play a video a few moments later, I noticed that my volume is not working. I tried through the Troubleshooting Device Manager (replied 'No audio device found'), by lifting missing audio drivers via the HP Web site (found nothing) and call Microsoft to see what they could do since HP reps no help. So far, no progress is possible except that Microsoft has discovered that he is no longer an audio in/out located on my device. This is absurd! My laptop was purchased 2 years ago for around $500 with award-winning special Beats Audio Sound System. I want to come back. I was forced to resolve the previous question myself and I wa slucky enough to find a way. But now, I am presented with an audio problem I'm afraid that I can't solve in my favor.

    If someone who comes through my investigation has informed business and education with a solution to the please my problem do not hesitate to contact me with your advice and your credentials. I'm willing to try anything at this point, but of course not at the expense of my computer. Experienced responses welcome!

    I hope someone can help me. Manager Microsoft is kind enough and plans to call me again today at 15:00. But, I really don't think there is anything else on our end that we can do. It's all HP to reinstall the audio driver Beats for me once again.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi pittsburghfather,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum

    Microsoft regularly issues updates or patches to fix security problems in their software.  The critical updates are ones that you should be concerned.  If they are not implemented, it leaves your computer vulnerable to hackers.  Service Packs are updated larger who upgrade and resolve security issues.

    The built-in Windows Update to Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP can check your PC against a common database of patches.  You have access to a Microsoft web site and your operating system is checked against critical updates and a list of proposed shows to your PC so that you can download and install these.  You must periodically.

    More recent versions of windows have an automatic update function.  It is available in Windows 2000, ME and XP.  If you enable this feature, your PC will be to search for, download, and install critical updates at night.  This eliminates the need for you to check periodically for updates.

    Usually updated Automatic download and install automatically, without intervention of that whatsoever. You also have an option of download and installation of updates by disabling the automatic updates manually.

    1. click on start and then click Control Panel.

    2. view function Panel you use, classic or category, do one of the following values:

    * Click system, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
    * Click performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.

    3. click on the desired option. Make sure that automatic updates is not turned off.

  • Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

    Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
    For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.
    But of course it's more than a registry key and the subkeys, because MSE too is affected and will download but not install virus definitions. WindowsUpdate.log reports: failed to install with error 80070643.
    My user account (it's the only one!) is part of the Administrators group and all that I tried to verify administrative permissions is positive. This is a new issue. No virus/malware, according to MSE, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MalWarebytes Anti-Malware.

  • Impossible to update Microsoft Windows Vista SP2

    I have a laptop that is running Windows Vista Service Pack 2 from Microsoft yet. I have not started the laptop for almost a year and I understand that the operating system is no longer supported. I'm just trying to get all the other updates carried forward after November 13, 2015. The update of Windows seems not to be able to get updates or is suspended. In the past when Windows XP support ended, I was still able to update the o/s to the last update available for the well type beyond a year after. I don't see why I can't still not updated for Windows Vista SP2.

    I need constructive responses to solve the problem and not the usual, "my computer is old and needs to be upgraded or replaced", remarks. I don't have the funds to keep the upgrade for the latest and best. The laptop, I always work and if I have funds or if I know that it can smoothly run Windows 10, I could upgrade the o/s.

    Follow these steps: Install KB3078601, KB3109094, KB3145739, KB3164033, KB3168965 and KB3185911 manually. Download links:

  • Impossible to update of Windows 8 to 8.1 Inspiron 5537

    Hello-

    I can't update of Windows 8 in article 8.1; the 8.1 update does not appear in the Windows store.

    I downloaded all the updates for Windows 8 (including the KB2871389); I sync my licenses in store a, reset the contents of the Windows store (wsreset.exe), tried to go directly to ms-windows-store: WindowsUpgrade and of course restarted after all these changes.

    I'm not under a Volume or Enterprise Windows 8 version. I'm running plain old Windows 8-64 bit.

    What Miss me - please advise.

    Now that you have the update of KB2871389, it's probably time to uninstall and reinstall. The following steps have worked for very few people when nothing else has worked. It is certainly worth a shot.

    (1) uninstall KB2871389 and restart.

    (2) download the update of Microsoft KB2871389--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40098
