• Windows 7 Home Premium cannot be updated (error 80070490)

  Hello

  I have a x 64 bit desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.

  I had a moment to try to solve my problem with Windows Update is not be able to install or to look for new updates for months (ask the error code 80070490) and trying to fix it, have caused more problems that I can't fix.

  I have troubleshooted countless times, including the use of update Windows Diagnostic tool (that does not correct the problem of update). I also tried to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium from the disc, I bought, only to be greeted with an error message containing: "your current version of Windows is more recent than the version that you are trying to level to.» Windows is unable to complete the upgrade. »

  So, I took a dagger blow to scouring the many issues on the Microsoft Answers community that are similar or identical to the problem I have. Some answers have led me to running the sfc/scannow command and also a command "findstr" who has given me a list of files that sfc/scannow could not fix. Some have been classified as "cannot repair" and some more serious labeled "can not reproject corrupted file. My next solution was that I should try to reinstall it from my Windows 7 disc, but try to solve the "current version" problem that prevented me to reinstall earlier. An answer I found in the Community said that SP1 needs to be uninstalled for the resettlement of work, so I uninstalled SP1 and rebooted my computer. I tried to reinstall from my drive again and was greeted with the same error as before: "your current version of Windows is more recent than the version that you are trying to level to.» Windows is unable to complete the upgrade. »

  Now my problems include:

  • Windows cannot update or check for updates
  • There is I don't know how to fix corrupted files
  • SP1 is no longer on my computer and I can't reinstall it

  Thanks for any help. !

• Windows update error 80070490 - other corrections code do not work.

  I have 9 updates, that I need to install it and I get the error code 80070490.

  I did the following to try to address everything with no luck...
  (1) tried a system restore. Unfortunately this update has been tried and failed several times during the last few days, and each time it is automatically a restore point. So now I have no more old that won to restore restore points.
  2.) have tried updating system as indicated here preparation tool:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490
  Rebooted and still have the problem.
  2.) attempt to perform a repair with my Vista Ultimate DVD installation as described here:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80070490
  The problem is that I can't choose 'upgrade '. It is grayed out. The reason for this is that I can't upgrade to a version older than what I'm running now. My DVD is SP1 and I have since upgraded to SP2. I keep seeing this recommendation and it will not work for me.
  (3.) I deleted the "Software Distribution" folder and reinstalled the WindowsUpdateAgent.
  4.), I tried to use the Mr FixIt. It does not find that there is a problem with the windows update and then it tries to fix it. It runs corrections and says that it has attached to them. But when I close and re - run, problems are found and 'fixed' again. I have been through multiple cycles of Mr FixIt, restart, update, error, fixit, etc.. I also tried the fixit several times back to back running. Whenever he finds the problem, says it is fixed, but then when re-ran he finds the problem, said again and again this is corrected.
  This all started after uninstalling several pieces of software by using the control panel. I emptied several unused programs and uninstalled AVG Antivirus. Not sure if this is related or not, since that was a few days after uninstalling before I saw for the first time this error.
  I'm still having the problem.
  If you could point me kindly to specific files that need to be extracted for this error I would really appreciate it.

  I managed to solve this problem on my own. It turned out to be something with the above Japanese language pack. I uninstalled it and everything updated correctly. I thought I'd pass just in case someone else has the same problem.

  You can use the copy of Windows 7 to restore factory settings. To start the process, you press the F9 key at the beginning of the boot immediately after switching on the computer.

  Before restoring factory settings, please check that you know the 25 character product key located on the COA sticker on the computer case. Don't post details key product here or in any other public forum. Please see the image below for an illustration showing a typical COA sticker.

  

  Your operating system is corrupted. To eliminate the problems on your computer, you need to restore factory settings and rebuild your computer system.

  A recovery of the system partition contains a copy of the operating system as it was when the computer was purchased new. Using the copy of Windows 7, you can restore the computer to factory settings. Of course you must back up your data files to an external before restoring support as the process reformats the disk thus clearing all existing files before writing new files.

  When you have restored to factory settings you must configure an internet connection, install anti-virus software, update all drivers from the Asus site and install Windows all updates. Run Disk Cleanup and defragmentation of the intervals.

  You should then be able to reinstall the programs. With this in mind, make a list programs must be installed and make sure you have the means to do so. Make sure you have the information necessary to recreate your internet connection on the new system. Make a list of what you need to do and the order in which you intend to do each task. This will help you greatly when you perform the operation. If you have a second computer available when you rebuild your computer system, it helps if you reach a problem and need to check online.
