Restore and update Windows

When you use the windows restore and restore your PC to an earlier date... Windows Update (I put to download, but let me decide what updates to install) offer again updates have been installed after the date of your restore point.  You can see these updates in Windows Hostory.

Are these updates of window offered because they are installed is no longer even if they appear in the story and you have to click on install, or, they are still installed, even if her restoration before be offered and not deleted when restoring to an earlier date... and you select install you are simply overwrite the same update?

The view update history list may differ from the list of installed updates. When you do a system restore in Windows 7, updates that have been kidnapped by a specific restore point still appear in the history view update but do not appear in the installed updates. It will be offered by Windows Update and then appears twice as successfully installed and show different installation dates.
The list displayed when you click on the link to view update history in a file named DataStore.edb.
This file can become very large, but can be removed if one chooses to do.
My system 7 it shows currently beyond 25 MB and my XP system it shows more than 50 MB. As you have discovered, it is not always accurate as to what updates are installed.

As an experience, that I moved to trash, did a scan for updates, and a new was created. Since no new updates have been detected, downloaded, or installed, when I clicked on the link to the history of update of view he said that updates had never been installed. The list of installed updates begged differ and showed all the updates installed.
Then I did a system restore, a copy of DataStore.edb has been restored to its original location, but the view update history list said that no update was already installed. The installed updates list remained the same and no updates were offered as none had actually been removed.

  • I'm getting 'Failure Configuring Windows Updates, changes of restoration' by updating windows.

    It was the first time that I am trying to update my laptop of Lenovo G500s which is come with 8 windows pre installed, before installing the updates, I have restored the laptop if you default factory using Lenovo a recovery key. While the updates are being installed I received a message 'Fail configuration Windows updates reverting changes'. It lasted for an hour. When I tried to install updates again the same message appeared. My laptop came pre-installed with Nitro Pdf 8 and Mcafee Internet Security, so I have even uninstalled them, I also ran Mcafee Consumer Product Removal Tool. But the problem with windows update remained. I then ran the convenience store update Windows that sets these two problems:

    fix windows update fixed the database and repair misconfigured update windows components, but this solves nothing. Later I discovered that although the resolution of update problems show that the problems have been solved but convenience store running immediately shows again the same problems.

    So this time I ran again the recovery system, and immediately after the system recovery windows update of convenience store that showed the problems mentioned above two updates of windows.

    Is it so that means the recovery partition itself contains other problems that my problem would have been solved, what do I do to fix this?

    original title: windows installer install problem 3.1

    I use windows vista home with service pack 2 installed. I have a custom made software. Before installing this software, I need to install 4 i.e. cystal reports, dotnet, report viewer and Windows Installer 3. I was able to install the first 3, but the windows installer fails, it is said to be "saturated". I also tried MSI 4.5 but of no use. My software runs well on Windows XP. Can anyone help.

    Installation with Windows Vista version is:
    Windows install 4.0
    Version - 4.0.6000.16386
    Released with Windows Vista

    Windows Installer 3.0 is released with Windows XP SP2. It was released as a redistributable.

    You can download Windows Installer 3.0 Redistributable from the Microsoft downloads site, but it has not been created to run on Windows Vista. It will probably give an error message that you have a newer version installed.  You may need to change the program to look for a different version of Windows Installer.

    You may be able to install the software in Compatibility Mode.
    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
    Use the following steps:
    (1) right click on the program

  • I can create a system recovery disk that gets installed and updated Windows 7, not the preinstalled HP Vista recovery Partition?

    I have a laptop HP HDX 18 that had 64-bit Windows Vista installed, with a Vista recovery on his C drive Partition.  Since then, I installed clean 64-bit Windows 7 Professional of his Microsoft licensed DVD, that I still have.  I kept with all (200 +) of Windows updates.

    Now, I want to create a system (Flash drive) for this laptop recovery disk, but my concern is that he will lead the recovery in its Partition Vista original, installed at the factory.   If I use W7 administration tools installed to create a system recovery disc, it will recover the old Windows Vista or Windows 7?  In addition, it would be nice to have a system recovery disk that had the latest W7.

    I'm not looking to install the drive link below; However, I prefer the system recovery disk to restore my laptop to its W7 system most recently updated, rather than start over.

    Contact Lenovo.  They are your first line of support.  You haven't bought Windows 8/8.1 - you bought a computer with a preinstalled license of Windows 8/8.1.  The support comes from the OEM - if they support - return it and get a system from an OEM manufacturer that supports the product they are supposed to.

  • iPhone 4 will not restore or update

    Hello

    I just pulled out my old iPhone 4 that I haven't used for probably a year and a half. My iPhone 5 c died on me randomly and I set up an appointment to get it fixed, but until now, I need to access some applications I can download on my 4.

    Surprisingly, the battery is still able to be charged and the phone finally woke up from his sleep. Then I tried to connect to my WiFi, but none of the wi - fi access points appeared in the list, and the upper left corner of my screen went on to say "search". I tried to restart the phone, which has proved to be a heck of a lot of trouble because it would show the logo of apple on the screen for so long each time. I finally went to bed and tried to sleep, but of course to get up to ten minutes later and the phone was finally facing upwards. Same problem of wi - fi. So I thought I would try to update.

    It comes as I had before he told me "this phone could not be updated." and then asked me if I wanted to try the update again, or to restore and update, I tried the update again, just in case. That did not work. So I tried to restore twice (and to update because apparently that was required to restore) and he said "this phone could not be restored." According to me, it gave me an error number (16) and iirc the update error was (17).

    Can someone please?

    During my minutes awake eagerly hoping that it works, I realized I should probably keep my 4, loaded and ready just in case my 5 c dies never again, because my Apple Care runs in June and I will probably not be able to pay a 6 until the 7 came out. Maybe even the 8.

    If I am able to solve this problem and wi - fi still does not work, I'll probably put it in the fridge (that my Iphone 4 32 GB Black can't find any wifi network) because obviously my phone has been reset a dozen times now and my wi - fi works with everything else is probably not the modem.

    I found the answer here: cannot restore my Iphone 4 after an update, Please HELP!

    "I was able to fix this by simply changing the usb ports..."

    Has worked for me, my phone has restored himself. Now is the time to try the hack of refrigerator.

    Edit: so bad, I just went more near my modem (right next to her instead of the room above) and he acknowledged the connection. Hooray!

Even after the withdrawal of the unit and uninsatalling this error repeatedly, and update windows 10 is not coming. How to remove this error and how to install the printer without this problem?

    Hi @tstyam,

    Thank you for showing your interest in the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are experiencing this error "Hewlett-Packard - Company WSD multifunction printer, MFP, other materials - Null Print - 5660 HP ENVY series - error 0x800f020b". I'd be happy to help you with this.

    It seems that there is a driver on the computer. If you have just installed Windows or a device and the Device Manager has 'Unknown devices' or 'other devices '. This means that they are in a State of error or without no driver installed.

    To resolve this issue, remove the "unknown device" or "Other devices" and run Windows Update to fix the problem.

    1. Go to settings, then select devices.
    2. Click on connected devices.
    3. Click on Device Manager.
    4. Open Printers and then uninstall/remove/delete the "unknown device".
    5. Open the devices and then uninstall/remove/delete the "unknown device".
    6. Launch Windows Update to correct the problem.

  • 32-bit Vista, System Restore and windows update are suspended.

    This problem started happening almost two months ago. When I turn off computer and windows update tells me that it is updated, I leave. Ive come back hours later to see that my computer never updated and turns off. Ive tried click on windows update to update while I was connected and it still crashes just forever. Today, I think I discovered perhaps the underlying problem. Finally, I got fed up and decided to do a system restore, after hours of research and try all kinds of solutions on these forums (none worked). So now he is suspended from the system restore. Suspicious to me that when the windows update crashes is on the screen where it says create restore point.

    Hello

    You should go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest network drivers wifi and card.

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

    Maybe the other pilots. software and updates to the BIOS, you can get there.

    Control Panel - Device Manager - double-click on a device and check the version.

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