• What does Windows Update Push 2 updates, installed months ago?

  WHAZZUP, Microsoft®?

  A week ago, Windows Update has begun to offer me two updates Windows® 8 Note: Important; namely, KB2976978 and KB3008273. In addition, KB2876229 and KB3048778 optional accessories. I want to do this now ready PC for the upgrade to Windows 8. 1 (x 64). In preparation for the upgrade, management says to be sure that all updates for Windows 8 have been installed before you start the upgrade to 8.1.

  Among these, interestingly, Update for Windows 8 for x 64 systems (KB2976978) is already in the updates installed on my PC, with Date = 14/12/2014, and the same is in the control Pane\System and Security\Windows update\View updates history with status = Succeeded, Importance = recommended and the same day, 14/12/2014.

  Similarly, the Update for Windows 8 for x 64 systems (KB3008273) is on my PC, in the window titled updates installed, date = 16/02/2015; and even be found in the control Pane\System and Security\Windows update\ view update history with status Succeeded, Importance = recommended = and date, on 16/02/2015.

  WUA informs me tonight that they are already downloaded again. I always thought, that surely Microsoft Support had made the Windows Update engine intelligent enough to check through my system and check things installed and not installed things and to provide only the updates that would be required.  Now, how smart IS the much-touted Windows Update engine?  Or, is it a good and healthy reason why these same packages, as it seems, are being pushed to double-installation?

  If updates had to be revised and must now be set once again, to patch the original of each, then one would expect Microsoft Support to issue a patch under a new KB number, in order to keep things clean. Or else the need to repeat and insert words in old articles accordingly. I had not seen anything like that on it the last time I checked the Knowledge Base.

  And how is security, to rerun the update, after that that it has already been installed once? Why would I want to run the risk of crashing my computer with something that I already have?  Therefore, need not now?

  I'm not ready to crash my PC, try to upgrade until these anomalies are cleared up. Microsoft has put out useful guidance on this?  I also need to know if KB3032613 is REALLY "Important" Windows update said recently that is is rated Important, because I was unable to install KB3032613 by Windows Update after having NEVER gave me no download for KB2917499, which is named as a precondition before we can install the KB3032613 . I wish Microsoft® technical support staff would inform Windows Update KB2917499 is prior to the "Important" prorated KB3032613 and make sure that the package offered to customers through Windows Update, or else admit it was a mistake to include KB2917499 as a precondition and remove requirements listed in KB3032613, adding a note of errata on this subject. ".

  Instinct of conservation requires that I have to stay away from the Windows 8.1 upgrade until these very valid questions are answered.

• Windows Update cannot find the new updates!

  Hello

  I have freshly installed Windows XP with SP3 on my new computer and I'm trying to fully updated.

  I never rely on the updates to work, so I am go to the Microsoft Update Website in IE 8, and there I went through a few cycles of updates, especially for the different versions of the .NET framework. At this point, there are no more left except the junk like Bing and Bing Desktop toolbar!

  I'm confused: where are the 126-or-so security updates that should be appear?

  I installed some updates manually (like the Windows Update Agent 30, that has caused me problems in the past) and rebooted several times, but nothing helps!

  Halp!  D:

  What is a "windows update agent 30 '... No microsoft.

  Try to remove, and then reinstall the update, the latest version is

  "microsoft update", you'll see that in the Download Center. In addition,

  XP is saved.

  Windows Agent 30 comes from Microsoft. He made sure the last Windows Update is installed.

• HP Envy m6-k010dx: update Windows 10, recently received message OS not found, stuck in auto repair

  Recently updated to Windows 10 8.1 and everything was fine, but then I started affected by Frost (windows stopped responding and the mouse and keyboard and I couldn't get to the Manager of the tasks accordingly) sometimes the gel would solve itself, but more often than not a closed hard must be carried out. Fast forward to today, and my computer froze 5 + at a time or two hours, then I close it and let it sit for a few hours, because I had to leave in any case. When I turned it on back but can't find OS message not shown on the screen and the computer turns off. I turned it on the message before auto repair, who showed up for a minute or two and then goes to a black screen and stays there, no options provided (I've ever seen the screen which offers the possibility to fix computer or solve the problems I found among other positions) and this has been the case all day no matter how I try to start it. A further experimentation I managed to get Hardware Diagnostics UEFI test using F2 (checking the battery, check processor, check for the wireless module, check the system board and the SMART hard disk check were in seconds, as soon as he started on short Hard Drive DST check that I received the result of the FAILURE and the test fails also) the results displayed as follows:

  ID 90F439-6MP7RE-XD7WXG-60QJ03 failure

  Product IF: E0L01UA #ABA

  Hard drive 1

  Do I have to replace the hard drive? Of course if this isn't the case any other ideas would be appreciated particularly with regard to the possible explanations about what could have caused this since I have not had any problems with the computer before the upgrade and no damage had never place and best way to proceed.

  Update: before posting this I turned on the computer and received the HP normal logo displayed during startup, after waiting a few minutes however the dreaded blue screen appears and displays the message saying:

  your PC must be rebooted, it will restart for you in a few moments...

  Then below this additional information concerns the following text is displayed:

  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

  and then of course the computer shuts down. The computer was then turned and saw the preparation of auto repair as before (I had never received this precondition of message blue screen). So even once any idea would be appreciated, I think I've covered most of the details, but if anything else would be helpful let me know.

  @SabrinaRM: sorry to say this, but the drive test result means that your drive is defective or has already failed - and needs to be replaced. This means that no recovery, automatic or not, will work as the recovery information are damaged on the drive.

  Once you have a new drive, you must restore your PC - but that is a problem.

  Normally, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state, but, unfortunately, there is only no recovery media HP not related to HP for your PC Product Page.  You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:

  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

  If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/Default.aspx and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  After receiving the error code 80070005 for these last months.  I tried several suggested corrections but have not been able to get updates either.  My operating system is Vista Ultimate 32-Bit Windows operating system and have service pack 2 installed.  any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  As I said that it is a very difficult issue to resolve.

  Did you use all of these methods, including the last link to the other thread?

  If you have used all then possibly an InPlace upgrade/repair Installation might
  help that allows to maintain the programs and data backups although redundant
  are always a good idea.

  You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
  Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
  machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a
  good backup or 3 (security in redundancy).

  =====================================

  If nothing works then, you can use BING or Google and search for all types of suggestions
  many whom will be totally false.

  Perhaps the best choice is a new installation. You can use copy and paste to the backup
  the data on CD, DVD, or USB drives.

  Sirot,
  It sounds as if there is something in the way of installation.  First of all, make sure that your system is free of malware\virus infections.  This thread has some great information on this topic: getting rid of malware.   If you do not find infections or even the question after removing them and then perform a clean boot , and then run updates.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers
