the updates of windows already updated previous windows

When a windows update is installed, it removes a previous version or just fill my hard drive?

If you run out of space on the hard drive of your computer, you do not have a large enough hard to meet your needs drive and/or you have not successful space.

For help on common system maintenance tasks in Windows Vista, visit the Microsoft Web page at the following address:

See the following topics

http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/system_maintenance_for_windows/en-us >

How much space is your hard disk have TOTAL and FREE now?

My suggestion is to get a JDiskReport and run it against your C drive to see which takes all the space. If that's your thing, invest in a disk ~ 70 USD 2 to external USB and start archiving some of the things that you don't get every day.

SequoiaView is also a fine option see use disk space in a Visual format quickly (well well, excluding the acquisition time).

  • Windows cannot check the updates - C800044E error code

    Hello

    Since yesterday, I get a notification icon in the taskbar indicating that windows cannot check the updates. If I click on the icon and then click on the button "check for updates" in the new window, the search end reports that an error has occurred and the error code is C800044E. This happens every time after the computer starts and when I try to manually check for updates.

    The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit with OEM license.

    I already googled for this error code, but none of the suggestions found during the search worked. Mode by default with no results, I installed the MicrosoftFixit50202 (have not tried yet aggressive mode). I ran the malware Microsoft Windows (without threats found) removal tool. I downloaded and installed manually the KB947821 update for vista, also without results.

    The last successful update is dated more than a month previously, and I assume that at the same time, some important updates may appear. Can someone help me with this problem?

    I've already solved the problem by using the system restore (I used a restore enjoyed a week point).

    I'll answer your questions anyway, in which case this may help solve one similar problem to others:

    1 Vista SP2 (all updates important/critical installed as of October 1, 2010)

    2. Eset NOD32 antivirus/antispyware with current subscription. No third-party firewall (just the windows firewall).

    3-4. I have never installed a Norton or McAfee application on this computer, but I'm not sure if a trial version of Norton AV is pre-installed with this computer (if it did, I removed it when I originally set up the computer - almost 3 years ago).

    Hi Nathalie,.

    Thanks for the reply and the link to the article. I appreciate it. While I was not having trouble to download updates, it was one of the update of the files froze during installation. I had gel resulting set before your answer.

    I'm not sure what I did to fix it, but the installed annoying file itself. Here are the steps I took to learn that annoying file has been installed:

    "I restarted my computer.

    "then stop it showed that he was trying to install the file again

    "I hit the reset button on my machine.

    "My machine is restarted, I received the message that my machine was not correctly stop and choose Safe mode or start normally.

    "I chose boot normally.

    "Somewhere during the start-up, something installed or flashed a message

    "My system automatically restarted by itself.

    "On my screen, my computer displays a message saying it was set up my system.

    'My computer restarted again

    "Back to my login screen, I had a repeat of the previous message from my computer's configuration.

    "After that over, I arrived at my office

    "I've manually run Windows Update

    "After Windows Update, I checked the files available, disabled the original file in question and click the button install.

    "These files correctly installed and gave a message requesting to restart."

    "I rebooted my system manually.

    "Back in my office, I manually tried to install the file in question.

    "It gave me a message that it was already installed.

    How he installed himself is a mystery. Other than on the first attempt to update my machine, it has NEVER included in my another attempt to update. Anyway, my machine is purring along as if nothing had happened.

    You can mark my question.

    Thanks for your help,

  • Unable to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate Windows 10. Maintains the update failure. Error code: 80240020

    Hi team,

    I use a Lenovo Thinkpad T410 with Windows 7 Ultimate Version Service Pack 1.  The available size on the disk on drive C is 14.3 GB.

    I get a Windows Update notification that says thank you for the reservation of the update. I had booked this about 3 months ago and yet I did not update, where most of my friends have had updates in India. I am now in the United States.

    I have already downloaded all the recommended updates necessary, only options are updated optional is not installed (most module language service pack).

    When I checked my history of update, I found the Windows 1 Pro update has repeatedly failed with the error code: 80240020.

    I don't know what is happening, so kindly help me.

    If my version is not eligible for the update, then please send a notification, so that I can cancel my reservation for Windows 10.

    Forward to your response.

    N.B. - Please see the screenshot attached below.

    Sincerely,

    Hello

    1. What is the full/exact error message?

    2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

    3 is specific to the program the issue?

    Initially check updates have recently been installed on the computer.

    See the Windows updates are installed

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/see-which-Windows-updates-are-installed

    Follow the steps and check if that helps.

    Method 1: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Method 2: The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable the anti-virus and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
    Disable the antivirus software:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Important 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 should 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.

    Method 3: System Restore -it takes the computer to the point when the problem did not exist. See if you can find a restore point right where the problem had not demonstrated upward.
    Reference http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

    What is system restore?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-system-restore

    After restoring the computer to a previous point, you need to install the update, one at a time to verify the update is the cause of the problem.

  • 8.1 Windows Pro update the problem (from Windows 8 Pro) on Envy 23 TouchSmart all-in-One...

    Hello

    I have a HP Envy 23 Touchsmart all-in-one that I bought a year ago (12/2012). It comes preinstalled with Windows 8.

    System information:

    (a) Intel (r) Core i7 - 3770 S CPU @ 3.10 GHz

    (b) 8192 MB of RAM

    A few weeks after that I had bought the system, I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro with Media Center that I bought through Microsoft upgrade program.

    Last week (19/10/2013), I saw the option upgrade to Windows 8. 1 in the store and decided to upgrade.

    After a few minutes, I got a prompt asking me to restart the computer, and I did.

    However, I noticed that the screen has turned white, but it restarts not really - I have seen that the hard drive light was still flashing and I waited for about 15 minutes. I know it does not restart because if that were the case I would have seen the HP logo on the screen of the BIOS. A little later, the system entered into mode 'sleep' (at least the light blinked slowly as if it was the sleep). As it was late at night, I decided to leave the system alone and decided to check on it the next morning. The next morning, he was still in mode 'sleep' (as I feared) - when I tried to wake up from her sleep by moving the mouse/hit the return key, he did the exact sounds as if he were to wake up from its sleep (as it always does), but the screen is still blank. The light power button lit up constantly indicating he's awake now.

    At this point, I decided to turn off the system by holding the button for a few seconds. To restart, I saw the HP logo on the BIOS boot screen and the screen went white and nothing came.

    So I decided do a system recovery using my Windows 8 recovery CD and turn off the system with the CD in its niche. This time, the system came and began immediately to restore my OS to a previous version.

    After connecting to the system recovered, I received the following message:

    "Could not update for Windows 8.1.

    Sorry, we could not complete the update Windows 8.1. We have restored the previous version of Windows on this computer.

    0xC1900101 - 0 x 40019.

    I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 a couple of times after that. Once to disable all non-Microsoft services and disabling all startup programs. Always the same result.

    I have no antivirus software on my other system protection of Microsoft default system software.

    Any help, greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
