Unable to access Windows Update HP Pavilion dm4 Windows 7 64 bit

My setting for Windows Update has always been - automatic.  When I realized that the update had done nothing since April, I tried an update manually and repeatedly getting the message: ' Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. "  You may have to restart your computer", I restarted, tried MS 'FixIt' - no change.   64-bit HP Pavilion dm4 window 7

Paul - the link was not one I wanted to try. I found this fix on the Forum of MS response:

Go to Control Panel > click on Windows Update

Click change settings (upper-left)

under updates, click on the drop down arrow

Click never check updates

Press OK

Close the Control Panel window

Then the closing session and Re-start Windows fresh.

When you're ready, go back into the Control Panel > click on Windows Update

Click on change settings (upper-left)

under updates, click on the drop down arrow

Now make the choice you need for automatic updates

Press OK when done

Close the Control Panel window

Then make a fresh visit to Windows Update.

If you have already tried the fixes that didn't work, the foregoing can at least get a point better, "but with update errors then you can do a system restore.  I did mine to the last point of "automatic system restore" which was 31/05/12.

It worked for me and I spent 2.5 hours installing all missed updates.  My computer works better when it is new!

  • Unable to access Windows Update page

    I am running XP Service Pack 3 and were unable to access the Windows Update page for a few weeks now. I get an error message saying that "Internet Explorer can not locate the page". I tried several routes to access the update page, but they all fail. Analysis of virus and malware picked up nothing. I am running Internet Explorer Ver 8.

    It turns out that the problem was software malicious. After the last post, more I tried to do at least I could do: Internet Explporer wouldn't start again, I could not copy files from one drive to the other and my backup software has been disabled. I have reinstalled Windows to solve problems. Scans of my files from backup using Quick Heal has revealed the presence of Trojan.Gen, who may have let in some other bad guys. I can now access the update site.

    • Go to "Windows update".

    • In the list, the status of the various updates would b mentioned in the second column.
    • There will be updates failed, you need to right-click on it and click 'see details'.
    • On the next window, there will be "Error Details" section with code 8xxxxxxxx.

     

    These are the codes that are required. Please write us back with these codes. And also for resolved errors you can try to install the updates individually.

    • You have to go back to the control panel > windows updates.
    • In the list on the left choose "check for updates".
    • Once the updates is enabled, it will be little important and a few optional updates.
    • First click on the important updates and a list would be populated, choose the updates one by one.

  • Unable to access Windows 7

    We cannot access Windows on one of the 2 user accounts on my other computer (office) - both say that the relevant password is incorrect.

    It runs Windows 7 Home Premium, for remote access is not possible.

    The problem started at startup and coincided with a behavior strange keyboard.  The "caps lock" has the effect opposite iit should I, .e when it is indexed and the indicator light is on, it is lowercase and vice versa when it is turned off.

    Sometimes it does not strike at all.

    Tried a reset of password, prepared on a laptop drive, but it does not on the desktop, no doubt because the 2 machines have different passwords.

    Thought about using the ease of the option access, with a view on the establishment of the command voice, but computer reacts to by clicking on this icon.

    Any ideas please?

    (I'll use only a last resort restore disc)

    Thank you very much for reading this - I hope someone can help!

    Here you go:

    1. Ask a friend to burn a CD repair system for you. It takes less than five minutes through Control Panel / backup and restore.
    2. Use this CD to boot the machine into Windows Repair Mode.
    3. Open a command prompt so that you can test the keyboard. If he answers incorrectly, replace it with another keyboard, or use an external USB keyboard.
    4. In Repair Mode, use system restore to restore Windows to a point while your problems began.
    5. Create, test, and document an admin account to spare for future emergency situations.

  • Unable to access Windows XP after you download Service Pack 3, asking login that wasn't Setup previously

    I downloaded the Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Home Edition and now whenever I go on the computer I am prompted with a screen Windows Log In with owner under the user name and the screen is demanding a password.

    I have never set up a password and the other never needed before but now cannot access the windows that I can not connect.
    Any help?

    Hello Stephen,

    Try to login as an administrator and update the password for your limited account or try to start your system in safe mode and see if you can log in as an administrator.

    If you are on the home screen, you press CTRL + ATL + DEL (combination of three keys) twice to access the login prompt. Also confirm if you can change your username and login from there.

    I hope this helps.
