MAKE WINDOWS UPDATER STOP annoying me

Is there a way to make Windows Updater STOP recommending an update 'Important '?  I don't use Internet Explorer, it ask me download a 8.8 MB 'security update' for IE, which I did not need.

Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Windows XP 64 - bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

While you can't use IE, Windows does so it is very important to keep IE (and Windows) fully-patched at all times!

  • 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.

  • Windows Update stopped working Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I'm currently under Windows 7 64-bit and Windows Update stopped working. When I open Windows Update and click on ' Check for updates ' I get an error message stating "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running." "You may need to restart you computer. After the restart of several times there is no change. I use Vipre Antivirus and Windows Firewall, I think. Any help would be great.

  • Windows Update stopped to retrieve updates

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit on a Dell Studio 450 desktop.

    The system came with Vista SP1

    After the initial installation whether you walk through the name of machine etc., I started to do the Windows updates

    I selected all the available updates, and he began to do the updates.  During this operation, he ran into problems that have started to restore Vista and then continue.  Below is the history of update (Please someone MAKE bet has DAY SO I CAN COPY AND PASTE THE LIST the NEXT TIME!)

    I was NOT able to recover the additional updates which means that I can't go to SP2 or apply last patch Tuesday updates etc.

    What should I do to fix this?

    * sigh *.

    Double whammy.  Norton and the words "Clean Registry" in the same sentence.

    OK - no matter what you think you have, if you know that you have done the excact steps I'm about to give you in a different order, etc. - tracking them in the order shown, not not an ignorant because you have scanned with that even (or other product) 35 seconds before you read my answer, etc.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Delete everything is found.

    Reset.

    • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
    • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
    • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.


    * Note * if the issue is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.


    STILL no? We have something to try...

    Hello

    ·        Have you tried restarting the computer and restart the Windows Update process?

    You can try the steps in the article and check if that helps.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949358

    If you are able to restart the computer, run the Windows Update troubleshooting tool and then run updates and check what is happening. To open Windows Update convenience store follow the link below.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Update-Troubleshooter

    You will have to perhaps install the updates manually and check if it works very well.

    Thank you very much

    Hello ms_frustrated,

    I recommend that you perform a repair installation.  It would be the fastest way and repair you the computer and while still keeping your documents.  PLEASE SAVE YOUR SYSTEM VISTA FIRST.  The link below explains how to perform a repair installation.  After your installation, verify that Windows update works before installing anything.

    When I go to Windows Update and click on ' Check for updates ', the display shows "Windows could not search for new updates", than he has ever been a check for updates and have never been installed, but the latter is false, as I received it regularly until recently. Of course the possibility to connect to the updates server was lost. A part of the Vista operating system is damaged? Recently, I uninstalled McAfee and installed Norton Internet Security.  Installation of Norton were possibly affecting the ability to receive automatic updates?  What is the solution?

    I also get a message that I am not currently connected to any network, but I am actually connected to my home wireless network.  This message seems to have surfaced at same time as issue updates resurfaced.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    I'm about out of ideas here. Since running the removal of McAfee and then tool reset Windows Update did not solve the problem, this leaves us with only two choices in my humble OPINION:

    1. one or more of the measures of protection in real time from NIS are intefering (assuming that NIS installed & working properly); or...

    2. you see the effects of a hijackware infection.

    OPTION A: Contact the Support of Norton (Symantec).

    OPTION B: Carried out a thorough for hijackware.

    Otherwise...

    1. see if you can download/run the MSRT tool manually: http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx

    NB: Run the FULL scan, not analysis FAST!  You may need to download the MSRT on an uninfected machine and then transfer the MRT. EXE to the infected machine and the rename it, for example, SCAN. EXE, before being able to execute it!

    2. run this online scan (in Safe Mode with networking, if necessary):

    3. now after the required logs in an appropriate forum for assistance by an expert in the field. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!

    I can recommend the assistance of experts available in these forums: http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachinesforum/index.php?board=10.0, http://www.spywarewarrior.com/viewforum.php?f=5, http://www.dslreports.com/forum/cleanup, http://www.bluetack.co.uk/forums/index.phpand http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30

    If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

    Good luck & please keep me on any progress you make.

  • bad windows update: STOP: 0 x 00000050 (0x00000000, 0x00000001, 0 x 80098004, 0 x 80515103) _

    I have windows xp home edition and after auto update from Feb. I got the blue screen with above Stop numbers.
    I do not have a CD with the OP on it, it did not come with the computer (as much these days, could not even burn your own).
    Is there something I can do?
    Either way, MS should take care of that. They have sent updates and screwed up our computers. At least help us here and do anything else to fix.

    Thanks for any help.

    This seems to be the solution.

    I'll try tonight as I'm having the same issue on an old HP laptop running Windows XP

  • Error code: 80072EFD, impossible to find the solution to make windows update work

    OK, so I just recently returned from the school where Windows Update worked perfectly.  When I got home he stopped work at all, give me the error code: 80072EFD. (I'm using Vista Ultimate 64 bit)  I tried everything on the support page and nothing works.  It might be my router somehow or something else?

    WestCoastGirl,
    I suggest that you go get the Norton removal tool and run do so that there is no trace of it remaining.  It seems that you might have an infection already.  Take a look at this thread because it has some great info on virus\malware: get rid of malware
