• Windows Update does not seem to work

  I got my laptop in June and he made lots of updates from windows, but I was not able to do updates from windows. The settings are on so that it checks for updates every day, install everything she itself, but when I press on check updates, it indicates that updates and it stays like that for hours.

  Last updates ever State control, updates have been installed30/06/2010. My computer is DELL studio XPS. Quatro, windows 7 64 x

  It also seems that you can't find automatic updates for newly installed USB things. Could not obtain automatic installation for my printer and could get no automatic update for a mouse, so I had to cancel the update to use.

  Please let me know, my guess is maybe firewall, but do not know how to get around that...

  Thank you!

  Harry

  After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

• McAfee updates - doesn't seem to work

  Hello. I seem to have a problem with my McAfee Security Center software. I have Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1. This is how I think the problem occurred.

  Last week, I installed a bunch of updates to Vista (from Windows Update) and I also installed Service Pack 1. None of the updates were released in 2007. All the updates I've installed were released in 2008.

  Almost every day, McAfee asked me to install the software updates (it will appear in the lower right corner and go ' ding ding ') but for the past few days, the not it only once. He has no problem connecting to the internet. When I click on "Update", I can tell via the Task Manager it will connect to the web. It will just say "No updates available". Given that it would be that this daily before these Windows updates have been installed, I find it strange that there are no more updates available.

  If anyone else has experienced this? Y at - it a crazy with McAfee update? It would be fair that the McAfee updates take a break? : smileytongue: If you need a list updates, I installed that could be the culprit, I'll post back with a list of them (and it would be not too long) any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

• Looking for a Windows Update updates forever

  Hello! I have problems with Windows Update on my old laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic installed.

  Basically what is happening is not able to complete the search for updates. I tried Microsoft FixIt (it reveals an error 0 x 80070003 in the end and it can not correct no matter how many times I run) and manually reset Windows Update components, no luck, yet research forever. Strange thing I noticed is that the Windows Update standalone packages seem to work for only on a few minutes after the connection, after that even that they stop working (hungs just Installer on "search for updates", duh). Is it possible to fix it? I really want to reinstall once again, because I already did and it's this thing (for the first time after several relocations). I'll appreciate any help.

  Hi BuIlDaLiBlE:

  Since August 2015 there has been a large number of Vista users announcement on Windows Update (WU) hooked to the initial phase of "checking for updates...".  The problem seems to be more severe in Patch Tuesday updates when a large number of updates is displayed on the MS. servers  To date, the only solution I know is to start a manual WU and then leave your computer idle (often several hours) until WU reports finally updates are available for download.

  I started a thread in this forum entitled August 2015 Windows Update Vista requires an hour to run to the end that could provide useful information and thread from March 2016 Jamie1968 only updates Windows Vista stuck when searching could also be useful.

  It is also a very long but informative thread started by ScousaJay in the VistaForums titled update of windows just seems to hang when searching where several Vista users, including myself, send messages.  This thread will give you at least an idea of the range of patches unsuccessful people have tried, and if no reliable solution is finally found I imagine it will be posted.

  Affected most Vista users report a long block for "check for updates..." but no other obvious problems such as error messages or downloads to fail.  I don't know if your MS FixIt error points to a possible problem with one of your components WU, but you might want to run Microsoft System tool update just to see if it finds problems.  MS has download links for this tool for 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems (Vista and higher) in the support article the what is the analysis of system update tool? and article WindowsClub CheckSUR: tool updates the system to fix Windows Update has a good explanation of the works of this tool.

• My Windows Update does not seem to recognize the need for updates

  My Windows Update does not seem to recognize the need for updates to the programs... This has happened for a long time. It will only recognize the updates of Microsoft Security Essentials, but when he checks the updates it points only to the basics of security. I don't know there are updates that Microsoft Updates jumps...

• Request concerning the sequence of updates for the Windows Update client in 2015

  I posted a query similar to this on a Microsoft Technet forum, but I have not yet received a response to the specific question that I asked.  I'm trying so this forum.

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, but I did not intend to accept the free update of Windows 10.  I don't use automatic updates.  I use Windows Update manually and select the updates to install, even for these updates identified as Important.

  Since April 2015, there was a sequence of updates for the client Windows Update on Windows 7 (Windows 8).  I have the Windows 7 of those below list:

  KB2990214 (April 2015)

  KB3050265 (June 2015)

  KB3065987 (July 2015)

  KB3075851 (August 2015)

  KB3083324 (September 2015)

  KB3083710 (October 2015)

  KB3102810 (November 2015)

  KB3112343 (December 2015)

  (This list is probably less intimidating than it looks because the replaced October update Update September, which replaced the August update, which replaced the July update, which replaced the June updated.  "There are therefore basically just 4 updates.)

  The big question is, given that Windows 7 is available for several years, why, all of a sudden, there was this sequence of updates for the Windows Update client?  Because these updates began to occur at the time when the offer of a free upgrade to Windows 10 was announced, I could be forgiven for thinking that all of these updates are really directed towards the relaxation of the upgrade to Windows 10 via Windows Update, and that there is little or no advantage to systems that are not upgrading.  I am mistaken in this belief?  If not, precisely those who will benefit from my system, even if it is not upgraded to Windows 10?

  The updates that I currently installed, depending on the installed updates, are KB2990214 (April 2015), KB3075851 (August 2015), KB3083324 (September 2015) and KB3083710 (October 2015).

  In my view, there was a lack of transparency in the descriptions of these updates in the KB articles.  And, in one or two cases, information on the importance of an update in the article and in Windows Update has been inconsistent.  It would have been much clearer if each KB article stated for NOT upgrading to Windows 10 systems, if the update to the Windows Update client is important, as an option or completely irrelevant.

• an error occurred when checking for a software update

  My iphone6s when I check for the update, dosent work and say:

  an error occurred when checking for a software update.
  Please help me
  

  Greetings harera22dec,

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

  I understand that in trying to upgrade to the latest version of iOS on your iPhone, you get an alert that says: "year error occurred while searching for an update of the software.»

  To begin troubleshooting this situation, I would first work through the steps in the section on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in the following article, and then try the update again.

  On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:

  1. Make sure that your date, time, and time zone are correct. Tap Settings > general > Date & time. Time zone can list another city in your time zone.
  2. Make sure your iOS software is up-to-date. Tap Settings > General > software update to check for updates. You can also connect your iOS device to iTunes and click on search the update on the summary page of your device.
  3. Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi - Fi router or base station. If you use the cell service, make sure the cell data are lit settings > cellular. If you are connected to cellular data, large items can not download. You may need to connect to the Wi - Fi to download applications, videos and podcasts.
  4. Make sure you have an active Internet connection. Check your device Manual for Internet connectivity.
  5. Check if other devices, such as laptops, are able to connect to the network of Wi - Fi and Internet access.
  6. Reset the wireless router by turning and then again.

  If there is still a problem, learn what to do if your device connects to a Wi-Fi network.

  If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support

  If the problem persists, try updating your iPhone from another network or from iTunes on a computer than this article implies.

  If you receive a message that says: "year error occurred downloading iOS ', try again later. If this happens again, try to update your device using a different network or use iTunes to update your device.

• Photosmart 1215 with Windows 7 64 bit - Windows Update doesn't help not

  I read the other posts on how to install a driver for Photosmart 1215 by using Windows Update.  His does not work for me.  990c does not appear as another pilot.  If try just plugging in the printer and allowing Windows Update to find one that works, it may not.  The photosmart 1215 appears as an icon in devices and printers, but is in the section "unknown."  If its attached... but not as a printer.

  Apology.  It does not work.  Read the instructions carefully......

• Windows 7 Pro 64, windows update/Defender/firewall has stopped working. Firewall gives me error 0x6d9. Defender gives me 0 x 80070424.

  Original title: Windows 7 Pro 64, windows update/Defender/firewall has stopped working.

  I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed, after the time of my last updated 31/7, my windows update has stopped working, and no so Windows defender and firewall.  Firewall gives me error 0x6d9. Defender gives me 0 x 80070424.  Update Windows to 7.31 was an update of the Defender, however, windows update will not give me the option to uninstall this update because the Defender has completely disappeared from the prompt that allows you to choose which puts up-to-date to uninstall. Is it possible to manually remove somewhere else?

  I ran SFC/scannow and I WAB32res.dll has been altered, so I copied the file on my windows 7 CD for 64 Professional (from program files/common files) and copied and replace my program.files/common files one.  I restarted the SFC and the same error occurred.  I had 5 errors like this:

  2012-08-03 19:15:59, 000002fb CSI Info [SR] cannot repair the military record [l:24 {12}] "wab32res.dll" Microsoft-Windows-WAB-Core, Version 6.1.7600.16385, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_AMD64 = (9), the Culture neutral, VersionScope is 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, type neutral, TypeName neutral, neutral to the public key in the store, hash mismatch.

  I also ran Microsoft Safety Scanner Scanner, he finds 16 errors and fixed them (I saved the names), but even after I reset the computer my Windows Update/Defender/firewall STILL does not work!

  Anyone have any ideas? Especially how to fix 'wab32res.dll"maybe that I recorded it in the wrong place?

  I noticed there is one in each 'program folder' folder (program files x 86 and regular for 64 bit).  Is also wab32res.dll somewhere in system32?

  Hello
   
   
  Method 1: See the following steps:
   
  a. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
  takeown /f Path_And_File_Name
  For example, type takeown /f E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.
  b. type the following command and press ENTER to grant administrators full access to the file:
  ICACLS Path_And_File_Name/grant ADMINISTRATORS: F
  For example, type icacls E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll/grant administrators: F.
  c. type the following command to replace the file with a good copy of the file:
  Copy Path_And_File_Name_Of_Source_File Path_And_File_Name_Of_Destination
  For example, type copy E:\temp\jscript.dll E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll.
   
   
  Method 2: Since all this started after a Windows Update, restore the computer to a date where updates are not installed.

  Alireza salvation,

  It looks like a known issue reported here:

  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014

  There was a workaround solution posted, but I have not tested it myself. Here are the steps.

  1. Go to the Yahoo Messenger Options - change the window in the tab menu and press OK.
  2. Then go back and switch to the small window and press OK.

  Once the bug is resolved formally, you could try to run every night or Aurora build to use the hotfix at the beginning.

  Hope this helps!
