"Microsoft Update" cannot install the downloaded updates

CURRENT SITUATION (11 October) - PC with Windows XP Pro.

-To access the site MicrosoftUpdates (with IE8) is OK (yesterday almost impossible;) Very slow PC).

-"Search for updates for this computer" is possible, but it takes a long time before the list appears. Most people with this same problem think it hangs, with the activity display bar process for eternity, never finishing. But I just think, they are not patient enough, because it's really time consuming.

-Meanwhile, the CPU takes almost 100% of the activity, caused by service a specific svchost.exe , which I identified as 1436 service id. (EDIT: maybe it was actually 1644 as I see today)
  \system32\svchost.exe - k netsvcs
 
All updates are detected for installed software and are shown in the usual categories. The installation of each of the updates appears one by one.  However immediately after fact following a message that lists updates whose installation failed (usually 100% fail to install for now)

What I have:

1. I checked 3 services to ensure that the correct settings
-Implemented automatic update (automatic, started)
-EventLog (automatic, started)
-BIT was missing, but I managed to install it again

Not without effort, I found these guidelines:
http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/Background-Intelligent-Transfer-Service-will-not-start/

Now the BITS he listed (with auto-start), but it fails to start, even manually!
If I concentrate on the BITS service (could not be started) this may to solve the "problem of update.

2. I started Windows PC files check sfc/scannow and restarted the system (nothing wrong detected or corrected... I think)

3. change of standard browser from Firefox to IE8

Thank you for the help

Thanks Nirmal S,

I apologize for not having mentioned earlier that this problem has been resolved.

FYI, I use Avast! Antivirus (free version). No malware was involved, but thanks for the useful information.

I found a ready-made channel to reinstall the BITS service, which apparently takes care of a few other things in the registry.  I do not understand what it does, but it worked for me.

Current situation:
-Little service is installed and is now ok.

-The Microsoft Update site updated analyses required for the installed software/hardware and displays a list. It downloads the installation of each update program, but not an update can be installed.


Since the fundamental problem, I recently started a new separate topic for the same question,
to avoid a much too long discussion here. However, if someone wants to add suggestions hereanyway, you're welcome. Thank you

  • Cannot install - the downloaded file name extension is .7z and I am not able to open it

    Hi all

    Hope someone can help. I just downloaded my Creative Suite, but can't install the program that my computer does not recognize the file name extension ending with.7z of a 7Z file.

    DesignStandard_CS6_LS16.7z

    What's next?

    Mata

    You can download the files from the link Atul mentions above.

    Under Windows, there is a .exe file and usually a .7z file.

    Download the two files in the same folder and run the Exe file to start the installation

    If you have additional questions, please see the instructions to extract the files and install your product.

  • Users cannot install the update of my application and impossible to reinstall the application.

    I have an App World app, the first time, it's a free app (ver: 0.9), but later I changed it for a paid app. recently, I published a new version of this app (ver: 1.0) and free package upgrade.

    But users who have installed my app when it's free cannot install the update!

    I Can't download the update. I keep getting the following error "There was a problem installing...please try again." I've retried many times and reset my device but nothing works.
    
    software shows an update to Version 1.0 from .9 however,
    the update errors out and fails to download.
    

    They tried to delete the app first, but they can not reinstall it, even if they want to buy, but App World allow them to do!

    I tried uninstalling it and now I can't reinstall it. ???
    
    I can not even reinstall from appworld.
    Let alone purchase.
    
    but i try to paid for it and when i go to do it, it dont allow me
    

    It is really strange, what do I do?

    I feel your pain, but you can't do much. This is a known issue with AppWorld during the passage of the free paid, thats why this option is no longer available for providers.

    The only way to mitigate the damage, push a paid upgrade, say version 1.1. Make sure that the upgrade price paid matches the original price of app, otherwise it would be confusing to users.

    Advantages of such an approach:

    -Users who want to pay will be able to download the upgrade, you get the money

    Disadvantages:

    -You will get a lot of negative comments from users who have as free version

    -Those who have already purchased as paid app will have to pay to upgrade too

  • Cannot install the update error

    I'm trying to update my iPhone 6 16 GB running iOS to iOS 9.3.1 9.2.1 but when I try to install the OTA update it says "cannot install the update." How could I solve this problem? The contact ID is not available because the unit is gray with a white screen and a contact ID button or space, which affects the update process?

    I would try to update via iTunes

    Connect the device using a cable to a computer (PC or Mac) running the latest version of iTunes 12.3.3

    The time that the phone is detected, choose software update

    If the phone is not detected - see here

    If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone, iPad or iPod - Apple Support

    OR

    Please take a genius appointment at an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.
