  I ran a windows vista family premium auto update and then I don't have a WiFi connection.  It is said that the Windows Wireless Service does not on my computer and when I try to start it, it says windows can not solve the problem.  I tried to restore the system before the update, however, I get an "unspecified error" does not restore to be completed.  I am very frustrated and need no help available if you please.  Thank you.

  Hello

  First, check with the WLAN service is started and set to automatic, if the WLAN service is stopped, I suggest you to start the service and put it on automatic.
  
  Method 1: Follow the steps to start the WLAN service.

  (a) click Start, type services.msc
  (b) select autoconfiguration WLAN service in the list, right-click on properties
  (c) change the startup type to automatic
  (d) click the Start button
  (e), click on apply, Ok.
  (f) restart the computer and check if it works.

  The majority of connection in Windows vista problems have been resolved by installing the latest version of the driver for the NIC obtained from the manufacturer.

  Method 2: Try to update the Wireless driver and check to see if the same problem happens.

  a. click on start

  b. right click on computer

  c. click Properties

  d. click on Device Manager on the left hand side

  e. in the list of hardware categories, find the device you want to update, and then double-click the device name.
  f. click on the driver tab, click Update driver and then follow the instructions.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• Windows 7 64-bit: Windows Update Service is not running. After the restoration of 500 GB to 750 GB HD drive.

  I was running Window 7 64-bit Ultimate on a laptop Asus N series with a Western Digital 500 GB HD with no problems. I buy a new Seagate 750 GB hard and sustained up to my computer using Macrium Reflect. When I restore my drive on the new Seagate 750 GB HD everything starts fine, but Windows Update does not work as in the post:

  I went through everything in this announcement and nothing has worked. I have no idea what to try and I am deployed to Iraq with the army so I can very well take in anywhere to have watched or call technical support. Help, please!

  First of all, thank you for your Service !

  See if this hotfix solves the problem - an update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Advanced Format drives is available
  Be warned, if the following error occurs during the installation of the hotfix, it is the same mistake that the hotfix is intended to correct.

  Setup has encountered an error: 0xc8000247

  That is the same mistake noted in WindowsUpdate.log when updating fails

  Original title: Windows Update service is not running / working and is not listed in services.msc

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

  * Restared several times-nothing has changed

  Despite what other threads have advised to:

• 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.

  Reset.

  Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
  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?

  Use this FixIt:
