• Unable to get the windows updates, it returns an error (often 0x8007043c and other similar)

  Original title: can't get windows updates

  I was unable to get the updates of windows - via the feature of automatic update, or through the manual method to access microsoft.com.  When I go to the microsoft update Web site, and it starts to scan my PC, it returns an error (often 0x8007043c and similar).  I tried to run Microsoft FixIt.  It tells me that windows up-to-date devices require to be repaired, but when I run the repair (problem-solving), he continues to run for hours and hours and doesn't do a thing.  How can I remove the software from the Windows Update Agent from my PC and reinstall a new version?

• The Windows Update components fail to install

  This morning I noticed that in the past 2 windows update components were not installed.

  The table below shows the number of the knowledge base for patches and their associated error codes.

  Title	Knowledge Base number	Error code
  Update for 2007 Microsoft Office System	KB977724	80246001
  Update for Windows Defender definition	KB915597	800705 B 4

  Should I worry, and if so, are there ways to get these updates installed?  Have one or two of these updates were replaced by some other updates, and if so, how will I know that I have.  If the initial update fails, is windows update smart enough to try to get the latest updates installed, or require a response.  In other words, can I go back to determine what more recent updates will address these issues?
