Of Windows Update IP address ranges

Similar Questions

• After the FireFox 16.0.1 in Windows Update, the address bar no longer works, as well as the search bar, but not immediately. Reinstalling does not fix it.

  Initially, I downloaded an AOL optimized version, but when the problem came I reinstalled the regular version and it was fine. Two days ago, it restarts randomly. Address bar won't go anywhere with entry or press the arrow and the search bar does any search engine. Try adding a search engine by clicking on "manage search engines" doesn't help; the 'Add a search engine' button is unresponsive and there is not in the list of your choice. I uninstalled everything, including my customizations and settings personal and reinstalled, which did not always help. I tried to disable all plugins and that no longer works. I even tried the search by looking for FireFox homepage, since at this time there, it was the only page I could do and even who would not find. The most recent that I downloaded add-on was the Evernote Web Clipper I think, but it does not seem to coincide with the beginning of the problems.

  Update: I ran a malware (MalWareBytes) program and it came with nothing. I also found in FireFox to get troubleshooting information and added in. In addition, here is my list of plugin/extension:

  Plugins:
  Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla 2.2.1.530
  Google Earth Plugin 6.2.0.5788
  Google 1.3.21.123 update

  Glad it worked. Thanks for posting back.

  You previously installed another version of Firefox and if it did not seem possible that one would contribute to a clean reinstall, but it is not a general solution that all users should be considered without first try simpler and safer alternatives.

• Windows Update servers IP address range

  Could someone advise what range of IP addresses is used by windows update, to add the latter in our firewall to allow access to our servers. Thank you

  It can as this discussion related (but not conclusive) since April 2009-online http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/ip-adresses-to-get-microsoft-patches/5eab0dfa-039c-4a09-a077-78493fadb2dd

  For security reasons, the IP address for the Windows Update web site is constantly changing, and it is not a fixed address. In addition, there is no official publication of IP addresses. Setting the IP addresses on the firewall for this purpose is normally not recommended. Instead, we suggest allowing all outbound connections on http & https ports or set the DNS addresses as authorized destinations for traffic through the firewall.

  For information on IP used by Windows Update, use the DNS system, as it's the only reliable source of information update. If you are using DNS, make sure that the following destination hosts are specified:

  http://windowsupdate.Microsoft.com

  http://*.windowsupdate. Microsoft.com

  https://*.windowsupdate. Microsoft.com

  http://*. Update.Microsoft.com

  https://*. Update.Microsoft.com

  http://*.windowsupdate.com

• IP address for windows update ranges

  I need to set up my network firewall to allow update access directly to the servers.

  My firwalls will accept only IP addresses and subnet routes, and all the details that I found while searching only gives the URL, including wildcards.  A call to tech support on the center of update solution received a "Search the site or pay for a call message" not useful.

  Can someone give me please the IP address ranges of all of the servers used by update.  I'll be very grateful.

  I would have thought that it was essential information that should not be difficult to find, but...?

  From another forum:

  The description of the problem of the post, you have submitted, I think I know: Capi2 event 11 is saved each time when Windows Update is looking for updates.

  If I misunderstood your concern, feel free to let me know.

  From my research, the problem may be caused by corrupted data on the server certificate. I suggest you try the following steps to test the question:

  1 back up and delete the contents of the following folders:

  C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\Content
  C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache\MetaData

  2 back up and delete the certificates listed under key "certificates:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\Certificates

  Then, restart the server in order to check the result.

  If the problem persists, please collect the following information for troubleshooting more away:

• HP 15-ac000: update windows 10 option is not available in Windows Update

  Hello

  Recently, I bought the laptop with win 8.1. I want to improve to win 10. I followed the instructions from http://www8.hp.com/au/en/ad/windows-10/overview.html.

• Message "Non-genuine Windows" & Windows Update does not work after replacing the RAM.

  Hello

  I have a PC desktop HPE-170 a current running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, which has been installed on the machine by the store where I bought it. It has been properly activated and has worked very well for 18 months or more.

  The other day it decided to not start and a computer savvy friend corrected the problem by removing the RAM memory cards, clean the gold plated connectors and re - insert the. This fixes the problem and it started again.

  Today I received a message on the computer of Microsoft saying "your copy of Windows is not genuine" and he invited me to "solve online. Well, click on the 'My Computer' icon showed me that windows was still active.

  By clicking on the "solve Online" link took me to a validation page, where after she tried to validation, it says "The Validation failed" and advised me to buy another copy of Windows 7 HP for AUD $149. Gee, thanks, but no thanks Microsoft. I clicked on cancel and the non-genuine message has not yet reappeared.

  I also found now that Windows Update doesn't work that way.

  I rang MS that says that I need the Windows 7 Setup disk. When I said that I don't have one, they advised me to ring HP. I didn't have time to complete the phone call from HP, but I believe that HP wants me to reset the system to factory with them State guide me by phone.

  I have a genuine copy of Windows, a product key, and it shows as activated.  From what I understand the system think that I tried to put my copy of Windows 7 on a new computer or similar? I'm not sure.

  Is it really difficult to get the system works just like before?

  Thanks for the reply.

  I'm afraid I don't understand your instructions. I think that you are a fair way waiting for me in the issues of tech savvy.

  I think I have stumbled upon something here; http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02219204

  Download and update this driver seemed to do Windows Update includes itself.

  I can now go here; realwww.microsoft.com/ /validate/ and he says: "Welcome to Windows".

  I hope I now get no more fake messages on my OS Windows is non-genuine.

  I'll see what happens tomorrow.

  Last update 18/7: seems to be fixed, no more problems.

• Windows Update causes glass/aero turns off. How to restore?

  I am currently running windows 7 Professional, and today an automatic update of windows has been installed on shutdown.  After reboot, I lost the aero glass look and it is replaced instead of greyish blue bars.  Using the system restore I can go back to glass, but as soon as the update installs again once he goes.  In any case to return the glass?

  Hello

  Do your restore and then after reboot immediately do the following:

  Configuration-Windows Updates - settings - updated Panel assigned to download but not install so that you can select
  for install or click right on and HIDE as needed. Don't forget if you restore to before these values are set
  Next, you need to put it back again. If you are sure that the question is clear, you can assign their automatic return.

  You can also update video (display driver) with this method and updated 1 AUTO driver
  immediately after the above (why and how are below) even if you only do not put in manually day
  the pilot.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
  This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
  questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
  manually if you wish.

  I was today - unable to connect to the internet. What I found to be the root of the problem, is that there can be no entry for a default gateway address.
  Since then, I found that if I put the IP (v4) DHCP settings - then everything is ok. When you specify a static ip address there are some problems with the address of the bridge not saved, but most of the time, it worked. However, restarts, the default gateway was again absent.

  So basically my current workaround is to switch back and between dhcp and static to get my correct configuration.

  Anyone know why this is happening?

  Thank you
