my windows can't check for updates, I have a few critical updates that must be how to fix this?

I tried troubleshooting and it seems just to send me to microsoft and I can't find the answer there.  It does not give me a code or anything either, it's just when I run my mouse over the Update icon in the lower right of the screen.  I just tried to install it and it gave me the code 80072EFD

  • Windows can't check for updates 80244019 error code.

    I have a problem, the system is vista home basic. Windows can't check for updates 80244019 error code. I have read many of the forms and ran from bugs that I found from microsoft. Further investigation indicates the RPC and DCOM service Launcher are grayed out and cannot be started or stoped.   Registry settings look good for the RPC service.  The DCOM service depends on RPC service.  In the GUI at the same time say they are started but from the comand prompt, I run the command net start and neither one is registered as running.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Windows can't check for updates, update history lists all updates but updates installed tells me that I have no updates installed.

    Hi, I use Win Vista Ultimate 32-bit sp1.  I have KIS2009, A Squared Anti Malware, MalwareBytes Anti Malware installed.  All showing my system is clean.  I ran MSRT analysis to light, and he pointed out that my system is clean also.

    The problem
    When I connect, I get a balloon in the notification area telling me that "windows cannot check for updates.  Opening of update of Windows and do it to check a windows update updates it just go and research without results.  It justs keep checking, but I get no error.  Lists history of update Windows Defender updates the last today, 06/09/09.  All updates prior to this are Windows Defender until 28/04/09.  At this time I have installed 15 updates, including some Office updates.  Click on installed updates and finally I said that there is no update at all?:

    What I tried
    I disabled my firewall and tried again.  No luck :(

    Tried a point files, but apparently I don't have?  I should have, but there is none there.  Install Win7 RC on a different partition, would this have wiped my restore points? I remember Vista made this for XP, but assumed that this would have been resolved with Win7.

    I tried to install Win Vista sp2 but unfortunately, I installed the Russian language (don't know why I, I was annoyed a day) but the sp2 download in five languages and Russian is not one of them :(

    So I tried to do a search on it.  Came across various inscription mention deletion of registry keys.  Only problem is that I have not mentioned keys.  Some keys were supposed to be in the components of HKLM, sorry can't remember the others.

    Find this site, I tried the FIX tool, reset Windows Update.  He ran not aggressive and he made the restoration, request for permission to UAC thingy, then the progress bar moves to the right and nothing else happens.  Restarted exciting tried and the same thing happens.  Been sitting there for more than two hours and no results.

    I checked services.msc.  I have BITS began, was automatic but have updated the manual according to the instructions contained in the ' automatic updates can be turned off "at the top of the forum.  Update of Windows, The Windows event log and Software Licensing Service are all set to automatic, and running.

    Windows Update log shows the following:

  • I get "Windows can't check for updates" everytime I try I get a "an error occurred" why I can't get this to work?

    I can't get updates at all. I did have one in 2 weeks because the automatic update can not pass for some reason any... Does anyone have this problem before?

    CharlesPyle,

    Suggest that you first spread malware as the cause of the problem by following these steps:

    (1) have your system scanned by the antivirus/security suite installed.
    (2) run this tool from Kaspersky: how to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=208280684>

    If no malware has been detected, there's a Fixit on this page which will reset the Windows Update components:

    How to reset Windows Update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058components >

    Suggest you download and Save it. Then, close all the open programs and web browsers.
    Run Microsoft Fixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.
    After that he finished the race, see if the return code is displayed again when looking for updates.

    If not, then run the Fixit once more and choose his Aggressive mode.
    Restart once it is finished and see if the return code always appears when the updates.

    IF malware is detected, then please post if it has been removed and that the specific name of what has been detected.

  • After the removal of the malware, I can't check for updates or download files of definition of

    I bought a PC with Windows XP Professional. He has been infected with 5 different Trojan horses, a backdoor and other malicious software. I cleaned the computer but found that I can't download Security Essentials definition updates or even can I search for updates by using Windows Update.  It gives an error saying that there is a problem with the network connection. Otherwise, I can access internet and download, and the only remaining issue was when Java gave me a prompt to download a update of the skipped upward same error box. While the computer has been infected, it actually blocked access to the internet and I couldn't access it at all so I think that the malware must have corrupted one or several files somewhere along the line. Unfortunately, I don't have the original XP system disk to perform an upgrade on the spot to restore the files. If anyone has ideas on how I could fix this problem before reloading the operating system, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    I will be reload the OS so I have my answer to this question. Please, if anyone wants to add anything don't hesitate not, but if you insist on patronising pass to the next thread to exercise your "superiority". Thank you.

    You can trust in the security of any computer used until you have formatted the HARD drive & then did a clean install of Windows. Period, end of story.

    Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order!) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

    If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

    Note: The computer must not be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.
