Microsoft KB2911106 update fails on Yoga13

I tried to install the Microsoft optional update KB2911106 released today on my Yoga13 running Windows 8.1, but it fails to update. When you try to manually install I get the error "this update is not applicable to your computer". It seems strange that Windows update offers the update for me!

Does anyone else have this problem? Can I just forget about it?

Sorting, I had to uninstall Bitdefender and then this update was successful!

(Same switching Bitdefender Antivirus and its OFF firewall, would not update!) Must be a bug with bitdefender!)

    Hello

    Here are my recommended steps to resolve this problem:

    1 disable UAC. Down comes the restrictions - turn it off completely.
    2 restart your computer for the change to take effect.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7f89a734-cda4-4abb-9a10-f6dfe560e8d0&displaylang=en
    4. install. It should work fine.
    5. If it still does not work, try to open all or part of your MS Office applications.
    6. follow step 3.

  • The Microsoft/Windows Update errors and updates failed.

    I just had to make YET ANOTHER Destructive full restore my win Vista PC, regular and continuous errors and problems caused by who knows what and the fact that the system restore never worked once in 10 years of friggin! My PC tries to run Win' Vista (SP2) and all the new updates that are applied after SP2. I also run Norton Internet Security (fully updated). I would like to re - install Office 2007 again once more, but I'm reluctant to until I get an answer to the following problem, because whenever I have re-installed Office 2007 I get Office update errors as well. I do not yet have enough away with this recovery to even think about re - install "other apps" again. My problem is that a heck of a lot more than several updates that were 'available' over time since I bought this pc (which didn't even have SP1 on it when I bought it new), do not have more than several times. Finally, it seems that these updates failed stop appearing as 'available '. Currently failed updates are: IMPORTANT: KB974468; KB2729449; KB2742595; RECOMMENDED: Windows Live Essentails 2001. OPTIONAL: Bing Office 1.3.1. also failed (the current version is 1.3.3...).

    My concern about all these multiple failed updates is that if these updates ARE important, whereas they should, and at the very least, not failed to install the first time which must be installed with success the next time. There are at least 40 + other these updates on my pc (of all types) who failed the first time, but succeeded (according to Windows Update), the second time. After doing a search and try to install these updates above manually from the Microsoft Download Center, I got a response that these updates "are not" or "are blocked by another condition on my computer. What 'State' is probably I wonder? Makes me think anyone or whatever decide an update IS important for a particular system is wrong either (and the update is NOT important at all) and so it does not yet appear in the list of "update available", or it IS important and there is another unknown or error "NO that does NOT exist. preventing the update to be applied. I say no because maybe this unknown error also cites a number of error that is not found by the completely useless online "windows help and support!

    If an update is NOT or is no LONGER available, then why hell is he always recommended! ??? In all cases, "Windows Live Essentials 2011" settles, and looking for 'help' by selecting "get help with this error" I am taken to the "windows help and support" line (which doesn't help at all). That's because this 'aid' shows only 26 'results' and NONE of them include error numbers (800706... and two instances of 66A) city. ANY help will be VERY much appreciated (epecially on the part of MVP, who have been a great help in the past) cordially Andy Bob :) :) :) :)

    Let's start from the beginning.

    Lets first see what happened with your drive.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    change c:\bootex.log
     
    What is this file exist with something in it?
     
    The following commands query the event logs.
     
    To start verification by using the name of the source for any version of Windows (because it varies).
     
    WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Autocheck" or sourcename = 'Winlogon' or sourcename = "WinInit") get format:HForm
     
    To run chkdsk in Windows.
     
    WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "Chkdsk") to / format: HForm
     
    For warnings about disk problems detected during normal operations and automatic repairs by Windows at the time where the problems were discovered.
     
    WMIC /append:"%userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html" PATH Win32_NTLogEvent where (sourcename = "NTFS" or Sourcename = 'Disc') to / format: HForm
     
    Then to view the created file.
     
    Start "" "% userprofile%\desktop\DiskEvents.html"
     

    Copy and paste it here. Again run the commands again after doing the below.

    Then to test the equipment.

    Standard hardware troubleshooting
     
     
    First to test we can the material. Material defects can appear as many software defects, that's why we need to test the material first...
     

    Follow these steps in order. Defects of memory can cause disk corruption, disk failures can cause corruption of the disk. Damaged disc causes corrupted files (which SFC may be able to fix). If you get a stop error and after return. Do not run chkdsk with faulty memory.

     
    Diagnosis of memory
    If you have not run a diagnosis of memory, please do. Click on Start - Control Panel - choose Classic view in the left pane - choose Administrative Tools - then memory diagnostic tool.
     

    S.M.A.R.T
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    Disk in Windows drives monitor for impending failure. The function is called S.M.A.R.T. It detects an imminent failure, 30% of the time. In a type elevated command prompt (it's a single line)
     
    WMIC PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus /namespace:\\root\wmi get active, predictfailure, reason List
     
    If it is on will be true, otherwise on enable in the BIOS of the computer.
     
    Predict the failure must be False if everything is ok.
     
    In Vista and later if SMART failure predicted Windows prompts the user to run the backup.
     
    Run chkdsk
    In computer all your drives right click and choose Properties, then the Tools tab, and then click check now. Check the TWO boxes and then start. Reset. This will take from one day to the next.

     
    SFC
    Check the alteration of the file by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    sfc/scannow
     
    Heat
    Heat can lead to problems of this kind, and sudden restarts without crashing. Make sure that your fans are not clogged with dust.
     
    For memory diagnostic results
    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane), select Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look in the event (Local) - Applications and Services - Microsoft - Windows - MemoryDiagnostic-results Viewer entered.
     
    Look for EventID is 1201 or 1101 and Source is MemoryDiagnostic-results

     
    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.

    For results of Chkdsk
     
    You can ignore this if you performed the first series of commands again.
     

    Click on Start - Control Panel (and select Classic view in the left pane) choose Administrative Tools and then Event Viewer , and then look at the Application and the System will connect (under Windows logs) for entries.
     
    Look for EventID is 7 and Source disk
    Look for EventID is 11 and the Source disk
    Look for EventID is 50 , and the Source is disk
    Look for EventID is 51 and Source disk
    Look for EventID is 52 and Source disk

    Look for EventID 55 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 130 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 134 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID is 137 and Source is NTFS
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Autochk
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Winlogon
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is WinInit
    Look for EventID 1001 and Source is Chkdsk
    Look for EventID is 26212 and Source is Chkdsk
    Look for EventID 26213 and Source is Chkdsk

    Look for EventID 26214 and Source is Chkdsk
    Double-click the entry for more details on this entry.
     
    PS 7 and 55 are auto repair codes where windows repair disk errors silently on the fly. 52 is the SMART warning.
     
    If the results are transferred to the startup time events logs chkdsk, then the results are probably in the following file c:\Bootex.log. This file is removed when the results are placed in the event logs.

     
    For the results of the SFC
    Start - All Programs - Accessories - right on command prompt and choose run as administrator. Type (or copy and paste by clicking in the command prompt window and choose Paste).
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] cannot" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more "
     
    It will be able to see which files are corrupted.
     
    To see if there
     
    findstr/c: "[SR] repair" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log|more

     
    There are often false positives for small text files that Windows uses like settings.ini and desktop.ini. Ignore these.
     
     
    You say that you have had continuous problems. But if you want to jump the gun to fire a bit.
     

    More details about the error

    To decode 0 x 80070002. X 0 means that it is a hexadecimal number, 8 , error, the first 7 means it a windows error and the rest of Eastern 2, the number, the Windows error.
     
    To search for the error message we need to decimal format. Start the Calculator (Start - All Programs - Accessories - calculator) and choose the menu display - scientific, then the menu display - Hex. Enter 2 Menu display - decimal. It will say 2.
     
    Start an command prompt (Start - All Programs - Accessories - command prompt) and type
     
    net helpmsg 2
     
    and it will say
     
    The system cannot find the specified file.
     
    Use Notepad to search for FATAL and and the specific error code (for example, 80070002) in C:\Windows\Windowsupdate.log.
     
    Windows errors (smallish numbers) and COM HRESULT values (in general, but with exceptions, start with an 8 as 0 x 80040154) are defined in WinError.h, except 8007nnnn where you are looking for the error Window number it contains.
     
    As a general rule, Windows errors are less than 65 535 (0xFFFF). Errors from 0 x 80000001 are HResults Component Object Model (COM). Errors from 0 xC0000001 NTStatus results.
     
    NTStatus errors (usually, but not always to start with a C as 0xC0000022) are defined in NTStatus.h.
     
    the .h files are the best source because it includes the symbolic name of the error that can give clues such as the source of the error
    . FormatMessage does not have the symbolic name as the description.
     
    You get these files by downloading the kit of Development Platform (that's gigabytes)
     
    If you just want the two files I have them on my skydrive so I can reference anywhere I want.

  • Windows Update failed - error 0 x 80070643 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 (KB2463332)

    Original title: Windows Update Failed - need help

    Vista 32 Ultimate with all updates, until this one: update Windows failed: error 0 x 80070643 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 (KB2463332). Update has failed repeatedly.  I tried to restart, remove the update (even by deleting the file so it would download it again) and install again.  Nothing has worked.  Error 80070643.  Since it is not Office 2003, the error seems to mean a problem with the Windows .NET framework.  Don't know what that means.

    Looking at KB976982, I tried to fix MSI software update registration corruption issues (whatever that means) by running the automated Fix It by KB971187. Restarted, I tried Windows Update again.  Still didn't update.

    Then, I waited two days and tried again.  Even that did not help.

    I tried bypassing Windows Update simply by downloading and then run the file SQLEXPR32.exe from Microsoft downloads. Did not work at all. I then tried to run it as an administrator (even if it was already an administrator account, with no other account on this computer at all).  He started to run and then gave me the following error message: unable to run the SQL Server System Configuration Checker due configulation WMI on the computer.  Error: 70347 (0x112cb).

    Now I'm really confused.  On the one hand, 80070643 means I probably repair the .NET framework, which certainly, I hate to do because I need several versions of the .NET framework first uninstall and then try to install the compmonents, and I'm afraid something would go wrong.

    On the other hand, the 70347 (0x112cb) error message seems to indicate the problem is completely different and has to do with WMI, which probably has to do with permissions and I have no idea how to solve this problem.  (And why it all of a sudden would be any problem with permissions?)  This computer is not on a corporate network and has only one user account, the administrative account).  I have looked at Services and Applications in computer management, where there are WMI control, but nothing shown that I can possibly change and not the SQL Server Configuration Manager under it, which doesn't seem to have much either.

    Help!  Please...

    And now I also tried to fix it, just in case where, the .NET framework (Panel > programs and features > Microsift.NET framework Client profile 4 > uninstall/change > fix it), and the Windows Update tried again (including reboot).  Still no.  Everything I try, it is not to do nothing, pardon my language.  People smarter than me, pleasehelp!

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3 (KB955706) update fails.

    I got this laptop Vaio with MS Vista Home Premium for more than a year and recently, my auto update always tells me that I need this important update on my machine. He tried to update my laptop but continues to fail. He tried to update this particular file now for a month. I tried to do it manually and it does not work too. However, it won't go away.  She generates a lot of error report messages and uses a space on my hard drive that I have to clean each week.

    I use a laptop Sony Vaio with MS Vista Edition Home Premium I've had more than a year without any problems. It is a VGN-AR320E, if that means something.

    Help, please.
