No internet access from windows update

Various security updates have been updated and since then he has had no access to internet.

I use Vista and you have Norton AntiVirus installed.

Hello

Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

'Remove an update'

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

When you have found the issue of update of the list of updates which is presented > then right click on the update problem > select Hide update > and it will not be available to you once again

Here's how to chanage update settings, if you think it is necessary to:

"Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Windows-Vista-updates-and-extras/

Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

See you soon.

  • Not having does not have access to Windows Update online...

    So, I had an empty shell and a spare hard drive. I installed windows on a 30 GB FAT32 partition. I have restart it, install the network driver after looking on the net for a few hours by another machine. Go to intel, download the chipset drivers and those install and reboot.

    When the computer is fully booted, I access "Windows Update" link on the start menu, and it brings me to this support page.

    Well, when I installed windows it was SP2, so I download the SP3 from another part of the Microsoft Web site and installed.  Now, the computer will download the recommended updates, but I still can't access the Windows Update, or Microsoft Update page page. That's why I can't install optional updates or update driver audio microsoft provides for this motherboard.

    Is there anyway to access one of these sites, so I can download optional updates?

    After researching the web once again, I found that the windows update agent here.  After installing it, I could once more access to Windows update and install Microsoft Update.

    These errors can occur caused by one of the following problems:

  • "Windows could not get a list of devices from windows update"

    I've been looking for a solution for several weeks now. Many people seem to have the same problem. But no one has yet been able to solve the problem.

    First of all, let me clarify the problem explicitly:

    In the Add Printer Wizard: "Windows could not get a list of devices from windows update"

    Specifically, the problem is that Windows Update *broken* in the Add Printer Wizard. (Windows Update, otherwise works fine. But not in the Add Printer Wizard.)

    Find a workaround to add the printer, which mostly does not work what I have read, would be only to solve the secondary problem of the addition of this printer. Except, it would not solve the main problem which is Windows Update *broken* in the Add Printer Wizard.

    Details:

    I have been setting up three new PC running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I had to add an old LaserJet 5if connected to a former print server. I created the IP Standard port, then clicked on the "Windows Update" button to update the list of printers. It worked on the first perfectly, as it has in the past with other computers to this place. Then I started to work on the other two at the same time. I'm lazy and started to perform several tasks such as installation of MS Office, Security Essentials (less than 10 units at this office, BTW), etc. while the Add Printer Wizard was updating the list of devices. One of these things, I can't remember which, required a reboot.

    And that is where I am certain that things broke. Restart has occurred while the two computers are in the middle of the list of loading from Windows Update System. I not interrupted the first PC. But the other two were interrupted and now they can't get a current list of Windows Update.

    I tried the FixIt tool at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 . He says he detects a problem and claims to have fixed. Except, it isn't - little matter how many times I run.

    Ideally, the FixIt tool above must be updated or a new tool must be created by Microsoft to resolve this particular problem. Type of the error in any search engine, and you will see this question from several years back. It's happens often enough to justify the creation of Microsoft or update a FixIt tool.

    Any thoughts would be helpful.

    I have exactly and that no ONE reads what you say or what other people say everywhere. Only the upgrade Assistant printer does not... The update of the Printer Wizard do not work. Windows Update works fine.

    Ronday,
    You are right that if few people read what they respond to these forums. That's the kind of non-response, I found everywhere on the Internet about this issue. (The value of the community is sometimes over-rated, if you ask me). Apparently, using characters fat is not enough to focus on the fact that the issue is not with the printer compatibility since, as I said clearly A) this printer has installed fine several times in the past with the same OS and in the same office and B) that I clearly THE issue is that updated the list of devices , in the Printer Wizard, *Do NOT*!  
    However, I came across a suggestion on another site. I haven't had the chance to try it at the location of this particular customer - I'll do it later this month. Here is the link to the suggestion for you to try as well. Scroll to the end to ignore any non-response:
    'Michel' made the following suggestion:

    Hi, most likely caused by one installation failed (not the Wizard), you need to do a bit of detective work, lets first try the easy solution: -.
    1. go to start, run and type regedit.
    2. go to the registry editor for
    HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\current version\installer\inprogress.
    3. click the inprogress key and note the name of the file contained on the
    right to databasepath (must be .msi extension).
    4 rename inprogress oldinprogress.
    5. close the registry editor.
    6. open my computer.
    7. navigate to C:\Windows\Installer (Installer file is hidden by)
    par_defaut, views folder check "show files and folders" also uncheck "Hide protected system files", do not forget to cancel it when you're done)) and rename the file noted in step 3.

  • Windows could not get a list of devices from Windows Update. Try again later

    Original title: Windows 7 list printers cannot be updated
    I installed a windows 32 bit 7 OS several weeks ago on my workstation Futitsu-Siemens and followed the instructions on the HP Wizard to try to install the HP Deskjet 990c printer driver for my HP 6122 printer. According to the HP Wizard, the only way to do is to update the list of printers by clicking on the "Windows Update" button in the dialog "add a printer".  I clicked on this button several dozen times in recent weeks, and every time I get the message "Windows could not get a list of devices from Windows Update. Try again later.

    I installed a windows 32 bit 7 BONES of several months on my HP laptop and the printer list updated without a hitch to include many more HP printers that are on my computer Futitsu-Siemens including HP 990c.

    What should I do?

    Here's what I found my system which is an Z210 64 HP running windows7. I just updated my Bios to v1.35

    What I did to get the update to work once and what I have to do each time to add another printer by using the Update window.

    1. open (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Task Manager

    2. click on tab of abuse, then Services button (bottom-right)

    3. under the name to find "Windows Update".

    4. right click "Windows Update" and select stop. do not close

    5. open the Exploper window and browse to C:\Windows

    6 delete the folder "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution".

    7. go back to served, right click on "Windows Update", and then select start

    Now the "Windows Update" button should work. For me I have to do every time I have to install a printer that requires me to use windows update

    Looking for what casues the error

    at the bottom of a file named WindowUpdate.log located in C:\Windows after that I get the message "Windows was unabel to...» "I have this text below.
