The automatic Windows Updater is not in my list of all programs.
Can I download it form Microsoft site? Is the case, how do I know if what I download is appropriate for my VISTA operating system?
Hello
Vista includes Windows updates. Panel configuration-update of Windows.
Or Start - type in the search-> Windows Update search at the top of the list box and double-click it.
I hope this helps.

Hello.
I have windows vista 32 bit home edition.
Today somehow automatically installed windows ' automatic update agent 747600226
I always keep my settings to check the updates but let me choose whether to update or install.
With this new "update automatic agent" which automatically installed on my system, I want to make sure I have place it properly so that it remains in the same way that I always have my settings but two settings (options), he checked, and are confusing for me to know what those checked settings will do.
I would like to help you with these settings to make sure that the update is still as I want.
Below chose correctly when the new program installed today. That's how I still want the settings to be:
Look for updates but let me choose whether to update or install
Please let me know if I need to change all the options account required in addition to this update agent to ensure that only, I choose to update or install.
There are four options and a box is in two and I don't know if I should remove the check marks or not.
Here are the other four options that I need to know how to configure it so that only I have update/install.
Once again, the download automatic microsoft today (update automatic agent 7.4.7600.226) without asking for my incentive preset automatic update options and that's what I'm trying to make sure is set correctly so that nothing installs or updates without asking me or let me do.
Option 1: (this option is checked. If I leave it checked will be it install or warn me only?)
Give me updates recommended in the way I receive important updates.
Option 2: (this is not checked and am not worried about this one)
Allow all users to use installed on this pc.
Option 3: (this is checked and want to know if should uncheck; what I don't want is any what to auto install, but the wording of this option and option 1 are vague because of the "give me " so I don't know what it means or will do.) If this box is left to it automatically update/install?)Give me updates for Microsoft products and looking for new optional microsoft software when I update windows
Option #4 (this is not checked, and I am not concerned about this).
See the notification me detailed when new microsoft software is available.Thank you very much for your help.
Take care! :)
Hello
The Windows Update automatically updates the updater (himself), regardless of your settings.
1. Yes it will alert you so you can update or install.
2. check if you need more of yourself (other users) to be able to select and install the updates.
3. it will let you know when they become available.
4. just gives the news of additional details about some of the updates.
Looks like you're ready for anything you like.

CCleaner
http://www.Piriform.com/CCleanerCCleaner is a powerful utility for cleaning of temporary files and caches; There's also a section to start to control what programs start when you start Windows (although I use of Windows Sysinternals Autoruns).
I don't recommend that you use the registry cleaning section of CCleaner or any registry cleaning program (free or commercial) in all circumstances; in my opinion, they are a (serious) problem ticking.

Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced
Hello
I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
Problem still exist.
The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
The problem still exists.The other post:
Another interesting fact:
After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.Separated from the:
The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.
INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.
UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.
Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools
Select Services
Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service
Stop Windows Update
In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution
Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old
Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old
Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.
Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.
I hope this helps!

Original title: Windows Update service is not running / working and is not listed in services.msc
When I go to windows update a red shield with a white cross appears and when I click search for updates this message appears:
"Windows update cannot currently check updates because the service does not work, you will need to start the computer"
* Restared several times-nothing has changed
Despite what other threads have advised to:
I checked in the services and WINDOWS UPDATE, Background Intelligent Transfer Service or encryption services are not listed!
* I have changed the settings to "Never search updates" and then back to "install updates automatically" - nothing has changed
* I ran the Malicious Software Removal Tool http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx- we say that everything was ok, but I can't always verify updates
* I ran the download to reset windows update components http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058/en-us but still I can not check updates
(Nothing is in the update history)
Am really worried!
Thank you!
Hello
Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?Method 1:
You can try to start the fix - it and check. Check out the following link.
The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/Method 2:You can read the following article.Cannot install updates in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. How to back up and restore the registry in Windows:

Method 3:
I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspxNote: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data can be lost. -

I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017. MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?
Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.
That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).
Good luck!

Something happened when Windows Update downloaded a file of security on my Windows XP. I had to wipe and reload Windows XP SP2 and MS Office programs because of corruption. I had never problems with the Windows Update server to date. I tried the 'clean boot' instructions and followed the instructions forum MS for other alternatives, but I continue to receive two issues of the Server Windows Update error:
Error number: 0x8024400A error number: 0 x 80240036
In addition, "Mr. FixIt" could not be installed because it is dependent on the SP3. I don't know what else to try. Please notify. Thank you.
I think the first thing you could try would be to get your computer up to date if you can. You can download SP3 here.
