• Problems with Windows Update! ("some settings are managed by your system administrator"?)

  I seem to have problems with my windows update. Last week when I checked to see if updates were needed that I was unable to view them because he said that "some settings are managed by your system administrator" who won't let me change the settings and the display of updates. It's my own personal computer so I am the administrator. However, this week update windows begins to function normally because there was an update available and I managed to download it, but a few days later, the windows on the screen update returned to say that "some settings are managed by your system administrator. I did a scan for spyware/adware/virus recently and I had only a low risk of adware that was detected and deleted without modification with windows update. This problem started right after that I got a warranty of software installed by Dell, I don't know if what they did could cause the problem. The system I use is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• Try to activate Vista's problem reports, but get the message "Windows incident reports are disabled." and some settings are managed by your system administrator

  Original title: trying to activate the Vist problem reports, but get message "Windows problem reports are disabled."

  "Windows problem report is disabled." I can't activate the problem reports and Solutions on my Windows Vista computer.  When I click on "Change settings", I would be prompted with the following message if poster "some settings are managed by your system administrator."  It's personal PC at home.  I don't know how to activate it.  I already went to political group & register to adjust some settings.  But still unable to activate this.

  All settings are disabled as this.

  This problem only recently.

  Method 1

  System Restore does not work.

  Method 2

  Disable the antivirus software does not work.

  But after some research, I realized that the problem could be due to a recent installation of a PC anti-frustration software called Soluto (the star was "Activate Crash Handler Soluto").  It worked after that.  After uninstalling, I rebooted the PC system.  After the reboot, I checked the reports on the problems and Solutions and found I could now adjust advanced settings.  I have also reinstalled the software, Soluto and ensured that this time, "activate Crash Handler Soluto" not was not checked (i.e. enabled).

  Hey, Microsoft.

  I have a problem here, perhaps a picture would help diagnose the problem better. (I had to say I tried almost everything I found with related topics)

  To be more precise: I downloaded Fixit to solve my bluetooth problem, solved bluetooth but eventually this broken setting. The fixit has been MicrosoftFixit.Devices.Run.exe

• Windows Update cannot currently check the updates, because the updates on this computer are controlled by your system administrator

  Error message appears when I try to change the Windows 7 update to automotive preferences, or try to manually get updates of Windows 7.  Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit on a computer at home.  I am the administrator and I can't find any relevant information in help or in a search of the forum.

  "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because updates on this computer are controlled by your system administrator.

  That's what I get for taking!

  There is a big difference between be connected - one with administrative privileges (see your first post in this thread) and be logged on as administrator, especially in Vista & Win7.

• 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.

• Unable to access Windows updates

  There is no error message, I just simply can not access.

  I think it has something to do with the position of the file or registry keys and values.

  * Title *.
  Windows Update v6 keeps saying that I have not needed to run files it installed or registered... __I have tried to install it on the site, but it does not; and downloaded the file and ran and he says that it is already installed.

  Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Windows XP 64 - bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

• 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!

• Windows Update KB980248... prevents the connection from the system administrator

  I installed a Windows Update last night (KB980248).  After the reboot, I could not identify you.  He did not reject my password, but nothing happened after that I entered.  I tried going to user Accts in Control Panel to make changes, but it requires system administrator password and wouldn't do anything (Yes, I used the password).  I tried uninstall updated but asks password and it is nothing new.  Line botom, after installing the update, it would not load my password.  Somehow, I was able to restore my computer just before the update and now I am up and going again.  However, I'm afraid to install this update again.  Anyone with a similar experience?

  Well Mick, you were right.  I was somehow do a system restore (don't ask me how) and I restored it just before the problematic update.  Of course, my computer comes alive again and has helped with my password.  Well, my problem was caused by this update.  I guess I wonder why MS would send the update with this destructive power much in it?  Moreover, I have to follow my updates from that time to ensure I do not install this yet?  And I missed something valuable that the update intended to do?  Fortunately, I was able to complete the system restore before I read your email.  Your solution makes feel me better, but I did the right thing and I need to print your solution for later use.  I really appreciate your comments Mick!

  Best regards, ED
