  • Windows cannot check the updates - C800044E error code

    Hello

    Since yesterday, I get a notification icon in the taskbar indicating that windows cannot check the updates. If I click on the icon and then click on the button "check for updates" in the new window, the search end reports that an error has occurred and the error code is C800044E. This happens every time after the computer starts and when I try to manually check for updates.

    The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit with OEM license.

    I already googled for this error code, but none of the suggestions found during the search worked. Mode by default with no results, I installed the MicrosoftFixit50202 (have not tried yet aggressive mode). I ran the malware Microsoft Windows (without threats found) removal tool. I downloaded and installed manually the KB947821 update for vista, also without results.

    The last successful update is dated more than a month previously, and I assume that at the same time, some important updates may appear. Can someone help me with this problem?

    I've already solved the problem by using the system restore (I used a restore enjoyed a week point).

    I'll answer your questions anyway, in which case this may help solve one similar problem to others:

    1 Vista SP2 (all updates important/critical installed as of October 1, 2010)

    2. Eset NOD32 antivirus/antispyware with current subscription. No third-party firewall (just the windows firewall).

    3-4. I have never installed a Norton or McAfee application on this computer, but I'm not sure if a trial version of Norton AV is pre-installed with this computer (if it did, I removed it when I originally set up the computer - almost 3 years ago).

    Hi emiquestion:

    Long 'check for updates...' crashes and slow window updates are a currently a problem common to many users of Vista SP2 - please see the workaround suggested, I posted yesterday over BluesBlaster WINDOWS VISTA 32-BIT updates.

    Note that it is a temporary workaround and updates slow Windows will probably return each Patch Tuesday (the second Tuesday of the month) after Microsoft also releases a new batch of updates to security for Vista SP2 and IE9.  Since September 2016 Patch Tuesday updates are published tomorrow (13-Sep-2016), it would be wise to wait a day or two to execute step-by-step instructions posted on June 16, 2016, in m #l's thread of updates does not, he has been looking for updates for hours and save yourself a bit of extra work this month.  Dalai normally updates its list of Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) implemented to date required the same evening that the Patch Tuesday, updates are published by Microsoftto the http://wu.krelay.de/en/ .

  • Could not start the automatic updates. Get an error that Windows cannot check the updates, D0000034 after the failure of the Java updates

    OP: Action Center... PC problem: 1 important message

    After the failure of the attempt to install the JAVA update, I received this message from Action Center... Windows cannot check the updates. So I was taken to the dialog box and retried to check the updates of windows fails again with the code D0000034. Also did a system restore to the place before the installation of JAVA update attempt, but was no help. Can you help me?

    Hello Irfan,

    Thanks again for your response. Since your last I discovered through my system status (Control Panel), I wrote that my product ID and the Windows 7 activation status not available. So I followed instuctions to help and microsoft support to activate.  Yet once, I got the error code D0000034 as before with the problem of update. However, I was given the opportunity to phone, but received no phone #. I bought the DVD of Windows 7 and installed on the PC that was custom built for me.  On the site Web microsoft help and support, I was asked for the product ID, which according to them is a # 20 numbers.  Not the only one, I have is the product key which is one 25-alpha-numeric.  I tried to enter only and does not pass.  This is why I say that I can pay for help since I did not ' have the product ID.  Maybe it isn't your area of expertise, Irfan, but I was hoping... I re - install windows on last April when I got in trouble and probably did not re - activate? What do you think?  If you can get back on track, I would be very grateful and thank you once again to be a big help!

    Entertainment HP Pavilion Notebook - Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition.  Last month, Windows didn't install updates.  Went online - route taken to fix this - restore the system to an earlier date and no change.  Roxio Videowave no longer works correctly as well as other software problems.  Read reviews from customers online, but want to know if I need to restore my computer laptop settings before installing Windows 7?  I also use Kodak Easyshare and so-called Pinnacle 10 compatible according to what I read.  If please inform and let me know what I should do before installing.  Thank you very much for your help.

    * original title - Windows cannot verify the updates - error msg. Have Vista - thinking about installing Windows 7 to fix this and other miners some

    If Vista is having a problem with updates there is a very small chance that the upgrade to Windows 7 will not solve the problem. A shop to factory settings which will certainly solve. However if you plan to keep all data and applications a restore to factory settings or Windsows 7 "Custom / Clean ' install means that you must first backup all your data to external media files, then after cleaning install you will need to reinstall all your applications.

    Tried all of these options with no improvement.  Stumbled upon an answer that described enter deeply into the Windows registry.  (I do not remember where it was.)  I had checked before, some of these files, but not these.  Some of the updated files were missing.  I backed up everything and put the recovery disk in.  Success at last!   My PC and I are both happy now.  I'll bring back had more than 100 updates that should be downloaded and installed.  I didn't know if I'd do them all at once, so I started with some of the older ones, but they have not all install. Then checked to install them all.  Updates made in the order of most importance and in the right order needed.  I had to do some updates more than he has found since then.  I am really satisfied with the result.  I'm going to put programs and files back on my PC for some time, but I'm not tearing my hair.  Maybe this will help someone else.   Thanks for the suggestions, all help to improve my knowledge about computers.
