    It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

    Suggestion 1: Get rid of Norton and Spybot Search and Destroy.  I do not recommend Norton/McAfee products, especially the suites (I recommend NO suites - simple is better.)  Spybot has been a good product, but a few years back, he just stopped doing as well.

    Suggestion 2 (cumulative, not necessarily independent - but maybe): cleaning of your Windows Update stuff...

    All the following items in the order shown - no matter what protection against that, you think you have.

    Search for malware:

    • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
    • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
    • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.

  • Windows Server Update service does not work after the installation of KB2720211

    I have a Server 2008 SP1 32-bit Standard, which had the role of Server Update for the Windows software installed connected to a WSUS upstream server and everything worked, with 17 clients connected to him and get everything their approved patches.  It was a new server starting with WSUS added at this time 1 months ago.  He had to be upgraded to SP2 S2008 which I did and WSUS have continued to function.  After being on SP2, there was another 152 patches to be applied and after that WSUS does not work anymore.  It appears 1 patch that has been applied has been KB2720211 that seems to cause problems for a number of people.

    The problem is that the update service does not start.  An error message comes back that the service has not responded in a timely fashion and I can't find the log files anywhere on what it is.  Here is what has been done so far all that in the same issue:

    1 deleted WSUS and restarted and installed it again.

    2 Remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

    2.1 install SQL Management Studio and logged to an internal database SUSDB and checked it is not set to single user (I believe it is set for multiuser name but I'm going from memory)

    3. install the KB2720211.

    4. installation KB2734608

    5 remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

    I am looking for any information on how to solve what is the question, because there is nothing in the log files I can find and no event in the windows event viewer.  I am ready to start with the server however if there is something I can look at to possibly solve the problem, please let me know.

    Windows 7, update services does not, RESOLVED.

    The problem occurs when you change your hard drive for a bigger, in my hard drive of the case a GB Western Digital 340 WD 750 GB drive hard.

    For the Windows automatic updates again you need update the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driverdriver. It will not be updated when you have intel check your drivers! For me, only the 9.5.6.1001 version worked. This driver can be found at http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02219204 .

    Versions available at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng & ProductFamily = Software + Products & ProductLine = Chipset + Software & ProductProduct = Intel % c2% ae + Rapid + Storage + Technology + (Intel % c2% ae + RST) did not work for me (I tried the form version 12.8.0.106 08/08/2013.) Why does not the superior version is not clear to me.

    Good luck to solve you yours it took me two weeks to find it.

    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.
