• Cannot search for windows update, error800700B7

  Original title: Vista 2. Windows Update says first major update but cannot search updates. I get error code 800700B 7.

  I fight with my laptop Acer Aspire 5313 since before the new year, trying to get my Media Player to work... trying to get my updates to load and I finally did a restore disk in desperation. I noticed when I did restore the Version of Windows Vista Home Premium it restored to was that for Service Pack 1, it should have been 2 Pack and registration of license # is different from that on the Windows label on the bottom. I downloaded the Service Pack 2 of MicroSoft.com as my laptop came with ANY disks and I thought I'd finally be able to perform the necessary updates and get at least my laptop up and running again as it was before the problems started. When I try to get the updates, it says I must first update Windows Update. I try to update, update and get tells me it can not search for updates. error code 800700B 7. Help! Please...

  Hello
  You can follow the steps and then check.

  Step 1:
  You can try to disable the antivirus installed on your computer software.
  You can see the following link.
  Disable the anti-virus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Step 2:
  You can try to reset the Windows Update components. Read the following article.
  How to reset the Windows Update components?

  It will be useful.

• You can hide the updates of the language, so that they do not appear when checking for Windows updates?

  When running Windows updates, you can hide updates of language so that they do not appear every time that you check the optional updates?

  You can hide updates, you don't want to-

  1. click on view available updates
  2. right click on the update you want to hide
  3. click on hide the update
  4. confirm the UAC if necessary

  Do this for each update, you do not want to install.

• not able to connect to windows update

  Win 7 pro 64-bit, sp2 after windows installed 10 has not not able to connect to update server. When an attempt is made to trust installation and a host file resume all cycles of memory and cpu and it will continue to do that too long current arrives at the machine.

  I ran fixit, check tools sfc, 3 different types of root kit tools and PGE antivirus both offline and online, new installation did not help, formatting the drive did not help.

  support Microsoft is still without knowing what is really the issue. If you can help would like assistance

  This problem seems to be related to a windows installation failed 10 what I finally did after a month of working with microsoft is I went to the microsoft update catalog site and downloaded and installed an update stand-alone said to improve the State of update and after about 4 hours it installed and downloaded updates.

  It's the microsoft catalog https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/home.aspx

  hope that this help anyone having this problem.

• Not able to install the Windows Update in Windows XP.

  Original title: can someone please tell me how do to download updates fail when I try to download them from the microsoft site

  What is the problem with that?

  WHAT is the RISK of "low side" if I ever install update #KB951847) x 86

  Jim,

  KB951847 is an option, not the security update. Feel free to hide it.

  I. - Stop the automatic updates service:

  Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click stop
  (Stopping the service will take a moment)

  II. - remove the contents of the download file:

  Start > run > (type or copy/paste) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
  Open the download folder and delete its content
  Close the window.

  III. - Open Internet Explore (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com & run a CUSTOM scan. Uncheck the box/deselect KB951847 and hide ("don't show me this update"). -right click it once HIDE

  Tip: If an update of root certificates is listed in updates software optional (in the menu on the left), install it to take full advantage of enhanced Internet Explorer security, but do NOT install any other optional software , nor updates optional hardware , just hide them, too.

  IV. - start the automatic updates service:

  Start > run > (type or copy/paste) services.msc > [OK]
  Double-click automatic updates > click Start
  (Starting the service will take a moment)

  Thank you for your update on the issue.

  Since you have already done SFC scan, I suggest you perform a repair installation (upgrade Inplace). There seems to be some corruption of system files and the repair facility should be able to fix them.

  Note: before proceeding with the installation of repair, I suggest you make a backup of all your data.

  Backup your files: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-your-files
