• Why Windows Update service does not work on my computer?

  After a few months of not be used, my Toshiba Satellite L35 (Windows Vista Home Basic; Computer laptop Service Pack 2) can not access Microsoft Updates.  Whenever I try, I get a message "the service is not running" and tells me to restart, I did several times without success.  Norton 360, and Spybot, indicates no problems.

  It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

  It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

  Suggestion 1: Get rid of Norton and Spybot Search and Destroy.  I do not recommend Norton/McAfee products, especially the suites (I recommend NO suites - simple is better.)  Spybot has been a good product, but a few years back, he just stopped doing as well.

  Suggestion 2 (cumulative, not necessarily independent - but maybe): cleaning of your Windows Update stuff...

  All the following items in the order shown - no matter what protection against that, you think you have.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  How to reset the Windows Update components?

  Reset.

  Try to get updates.

  If it still does not work, try this...

  1. Start an elevated command prompt.
  2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
     
     net stop wuauserv
     CD %SystemRoot%\System32
     Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
     net start wuauserv

  3. Reset
  4. Try to reinstall updates

  * Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:

  • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
  • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
  • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.

  
  * Note * if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

  STILL no?

  Windows 7, update services does not, RESOLVED.

  The problem occurs when you change your hard drive for a bigger, in my hard drive of the case a GB Western Digital 340 WD 750 GB drive hard.

  For the Windows automatic updates again you need update the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driverdriver. It will not be updated when you have intel check your drivers! For me, only the 9.5.6.1001 version worked. This driver can be found at http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02219204 .

  Versions available at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng & ProductFamily = Software + Products & ProductLine = Chipset + Software & ProductProduct = Intel % c2% ae + Rapid + Storage + Technology + (Intel % c2% ae + RST) did not work for me (I tried the form version 12.8.0.106 08/08/2013.) Why does not the superior version is not clear to me.

  Good luck to solve you yours it took me two weeks to find it.

• Windows Server Update service does not work after the installation of KB2720211

  I have a Server 2008 SP1 32-bit Standard, which had the role of Server Update for the Windows software installed connected to a WSUS upstream server and everything worked, with 17 clients connected to him and get everything their approved patches.  It was a new server starting with WSUS added at this time 1 months ago.  He had to be upgraded to SP2 S2008 which I did and WSUS have continued to function.  After being on SP2, there was another 152 patches to be applied and after that WSUS does not work anymore.  It appears 1 patch that has been applied has been KB2720211 that seems to cause problems for a number of people.

  The problem is that the update service does not start.  An error message comes back that the service has not responded in a timely fashion and I can't find the log files anywhere on what it is.  Here is what has been done so far all that in the same issue:

  1 deleted WSUS and restarted and installed it again.

  2 Remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

  2.1 install SQL Management Studio and logged to an internal database SUSDB and checked it is not set to single user (I believe it is set for multiuser name but I'm going from memory)

  3. install the KB2720211.

  4. installation KB2734608

  5 remove WSUS and Windows Internal Database, restarted and installed it again (using the download of KB972466).

  I am looking for any information on how to solve what is the question, because there is nothing in the log files I can find and no event in the windows event viewer.  I am ready to start with the server however if there is something I can look at to possibly solve the problem, please let me know.

  When I go to windows update a red shield with a white cross appears and when I click search for updates this message appears:

  "Windows update cannot currently check updates because the service does not work, you will need to start the computer"

  * Restared several times-nothing has changed

  Despite what other threads have advised to:

  I checked in the services and WINDOWS UPDATE, Background Intelligent Transfer Service or encryption services are not listed!

   

  * I have changed the settings to "Never search updates" and then back to "install updates automatically" - nothing has changed

  * I ran the Malicious Software Removal Tool http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx- we say that everything was ok, but I can't always verify updates

  * I ran the download to reset windows update components http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058/en-us but still I can not check updates

  Note: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  Note: If bad sectors are detected when running check disk utility and attempt recovery of bad sectors is verified during the verification of the drive for errors, data in the bad sector can be lost as they tried to recover bad sectors.

  Method 3:

  I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  
  Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data can be lost.

  Help. It makes me crazy!

  No probs.

  Though even this is not for your laptop, it has fast storage to Intel for chipset driver, it uses (ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller) you can see under the required System Configuration

  Here

  This is for XP 32/64 and Vista 32 / 64-bit. And Win7 32/64 bit

  It is version 10.1.2.1004. It may not be the latest version out at the mo. But his more later than the version installed

  You can either double-click SP52144, then follow what it says on the screen, then restart. Then see if WU works

  Or an extract SP51244 with something like 7-zip / winrar (select Extract to SP52144\). So, it extracts the files in folders.

  Then go to the entry SATA in DM. Go to the driver tab / driver update / browse computer / let me choose.

  Point to the folder that you extracted. Then the folder the folder drivers then the x 86. Since you are using 32-bit. And then click OK. It may show ICH8M-E/M (if it captures previous drivers / or if there is already an entry of controller for ICH8M-E/M). If you press ok / then following to load the drivers for it. Once he finished update the SATA drivers, restart

  Then see if windowsupdates works

  Looks like you need to .net framework 3.5 (or higher) for this. Don't think that you need this if you check out the file, and then add through the DM tho. If you double click on the file
