• How can I change the locations of Windows Update to the default settings of Windows?

  Windows backup does not complete successfully, and I get the message "the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002). Windows error procedures have not found the answer.  Solving the problems of files MS Fixit found that where Windows Update stores data has changed and that it should be repaired by changing places of WU to the default settings of Windows.  Please can someone explain how to do this?

  Hi Derek,.

  Thanks to join Microsoft Community where you will find all necessary information about the Windows operating systems.

  You cannot perform backup and get error the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002).

  The problem may occur if there is some disk errors hard or due to the interruption by third-party programs.

  What fixit have you tried?

  To check if the problem is due to hard drive errors or due to the interruption by third-party programs, I suggest you follow the steps:

  After each step, if the problem persists, go to the other.

  Method 1: Check the hard disk for errors

   

  See the site:

  Check your hard drive for errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

   

  Note:  When checking a disk for errors, if bad sectors si des secteurs defectueux sont are found then the system tries to repair sector. All data may be lost. So make a backup of the data.

   

  Method 2: Clean boot

   

  When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

  See the mentioned site:

  How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 of section to set your computer to normal startup.

  Note: If in case, you are connected via a connection wireless, and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check wireless see corresponding section are checked (enabled).

   

  I hope this helps. If the problem persists, or if you have problems of Windows in the future, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  Original title: Windows 7 Pro 64, windows update/Defender/firewall has stopped working.

  I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed, after the time of my last updated 31/7, my windows update has stopped working, and no so Windows defender and firewall.  Firewall gives me error 0x6d9. Defender gives me 0 x 80070424.  Update Windows to 7.31 was an update of the Defender, however, windows update will not give me the option to uninstall this update because the Defender has completely disappeared from the prompt that allows you to choose which puts up-to-date to uninstall. Is it possible to manually remove somewhere else?

  I ran SFC/scannow and I WAB32res.dll has been altered, so I copied the file on my windows 7 CD for 64 Professional (from program files/common files) and copied and replace my program.files/common files one.  I restarted the SFC and the same error occurred.  I had 5 errors like this:
