Update Windows with no details

Hello
Windows Update said there are 1 important to download and install upgrade. He said not any information about it though - not size, no details, no names. In fact, when I click on the link "1 important link is available," no updates show up on the list.

All good advice how to proceed? Install something without knowing anything at all about this is not ringing as I good idea.

Using Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 with all updates that windows update has been given.

Thanks in advance

  • Update Windows with LUA (error 0x8024200E)

    original title: update windows with LUA

    Running windows update on XP SP3 seems to require the account with administrator rights (Yes, I have no updates to download and install by themselves the value).

    My preference is a LUA approach and can use "run as" or makemeadmin and this allows me to download, but not install (error 0x8024200E).

    I would have thought there would be thousands of people already done this and an equivalent number of posts on how to do it.  Maybe, I'm not using the right words when searching for the answer... (so apologies if she is sitting within my reach - blind, darkroom, no black cat?)

    Hi fpduarte,

    (1) if it works well before?

    (2) remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    (3) what is the complete error message you receive?

    Method 1: Run the Windows Update troubleshooting tool and check if that makes a difference

    Open the Windows Update troubleshooting tool

     

    Method 2: Run the fixit available in the link below
    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

    Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of data loss from that particular area.

    Method 3: Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

    I also encounter the same error 9 x 80070663 running Xp SRV pak 3, currently AVG 8.5 and Spybot S & D, Sandboxie version.

    The error has not appeared before, only now try to install the redistributable MSVC will install AVG 9.0.

    Small note, clone Xp 80 GB drive on the new 500 GB drive yesterday - shoe don't know what may have been messed up in the process.

    Thank you!

    Please explain what MSVC redistributable package , slowandpokey.
    IF you are trying to manually install a runtime then you strongly suggest completely and totally disable AVG 8.5 temporarily before attempting to install it.
    If TeaTimer , SDHelper and vaccinate are activated in Spybot S & D then suggest you disable the temp them also for now.

    What is the solution for Windows Update error OX8024402C(2016-09-10-T-08_58_50P)?

    How can I reinstall components update Windows with a Microsoft Tool that is always available for Windows VISTA home edition?  Microsoft still supports VISTA?  It is a year now and I can't get updates; Research of update crashes.  I tried several recommendations of correction through the Microsoft Community with a negative result.  I tried a Microsoft Fixit Tool that reports 2 errors aren't fixed which includes error OX8024402C(2016-09-10-T-08_58_50P). Microsoft Servers don't know the Windows VISTA updates for support Windows 10?  How can I get through Microsoft for direct assistance on this serious mistake that is extremely difficult to define? And Microsoft does this help?

    Install all the updates that are listed in the table above this page manually:

  • I'm being invited to update Firefox, but after consultation with the details, I conclude that it can interfere with my Windows XP. How can I stop the guests?

    I always use (and will not update) Windows XP. The details of an update of Firefox indicate that the new version (that I don't need) can interfere with XP. I want to have Firefox stop invites me for an update. How can I do this? I just continue to select "Ask Me later". Is there a more permanent solution?

    Firefox 32.0.3 works great on Windows XP and contains many important security patches - actually, 'night' of pre-release Tester 35 Firefox version works fine, too.

  • I've updated Windows 8.0 Windows 8.1, since Firefox run a bit oddly. In particular, when on the sites with lots of images like Facebook, etc.

    Hello, I am writing because I have a few problems with my favorite browser after update to 8.1 Windows. Here are some details. I've updated Windows 8.0 Windows 8.1, since Firefox run a bit oddly. In particular, when on sites with lots of images like Facebook. It's as if there is some sort of effect of Flikr between the office and the images, as well as between the images and the browser (a bit like old flikering of 16-bit video games). It's not too bad, but it's a question. I tried to reset firefox and restart the computer. I have not tried a repair, and I haven't done an uninstall.

    Hello, disable hardware acceleration in firefox should a restart of the application is taken into account. have you tried that too?
