• Windows Update will not download, just stays at 0%

  Hi, past the month or so my windows update will not download at all. I never had no problems until now. Im running on windows 7 64. I'll start, click windows update and download hit. Once I have click on windows update, it just sits there with the bar running, showing me his 0%. Please if someone might know a solution, that would help a lot.

  Yes.  I had the same problem, I installed the update when my power went out, so I couldn't download it, but managed to get the update that I needed the microsoft Web page and we smooth sailing since then.

• Windows Update will not download?

  When I try and download windows updates it remains at 0% and will not download. Also any secondary windows pop up I opened Virgin rest. These errors started exactly at the same time. I use windows 7 and Norton 360 (4.0)

  Norton 360 v4.x was not released until February 17, 2010. If you have purchased & installed Norton 360 in August 2009, it was Norton 360 v3.x, so you must have upgraded to v4.x because you upgraded to Win7 in October 2009.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. [No, Norton Support will not tell you this.] Norton 360 v3.x "leftovers" can be cause of your problem.

  [You want to print the following instructions for consultation offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (includingLiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of the latest version of Norton 360 (using your product ID, if necessary) & restart:http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  IMPORTANT! -Online do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. If you have had problems with Internet Explorer 8, perform a reset now: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Reset-Internet-Explorer-settings

  8 b. Open IE8 (only) (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run the difficulty by DEFAULT inside and then AGGRESSIVE modes (again). [1]

  9. restart & test.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  [1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not the list of installed updates.

• Windows Update does not install some updates; can not download iTunes or Adobe updates

  For about a month now I had trouble downloading the updates. Windows Update is not good download and install an update called update security for Microsoft Works 8 (KB973636). The details of the error say Code 646. I was try and do not install this update for a month. Other updates are installed automatically without any problem. I was also unable to download iTunes and Adobe updates. During the download, a window pop up that says "Error in installation" and the program closes. I don't know if these issues are related to a problem with a previous update, which I downloaded from Windows Update?

• Windows Update will not download updates.

  Today I've eliminated my Windows xp and you use the xp disk I reloaded and formatted a new. I did this in the past and had no problem today, I find that after doing everything and windows stops then I went to windows update, that he asked to install active x and will not update download. There is nothing in my add and remove programs. Not sure how to proceed

  • http://*. Update.Microsoft.com

  • https://*. Update.Microsoft.com

  • http://download.windowsupdate.com

  • http://windowupdate.Microsoft.com

  Open Internet Options, Security tab, click Trusted sites, click Sites.

  Uncheck: Require server verification box, add the 4 websites above.

  Try again, if successful, use the custom Option and uncheck all of the updates.

  Read the first update for .net to tell the first and only download.

  Download it, reboot and go back to check again for any .net and .net only download.

  Make updates to .net security, then check again for .net or .net Security.

  When there is no more .net then do the other.

  Perform these tasks in groups and not all at the same time.

  This how to install .net first will save problems later.

  If you want to have the time and Patience, you must install the Service Packs first.

  If you later reinstall OS and you install the drivers manually install the Service Packs right after OS reinstalled before installing any drivers. You can first install the drivers but it is better Service Packs first as sometimes when you install a Service Pack after the drivers, you can find some drivers do not work and you have to reinstall these drivers.

  For people using the original image, your drivers are already installed then install Service Packs just after the factory restore before installing applications or devices or download Windows updates.

  Service Packs using immediately also save hundreds of download of the updates of Windows first of all that all updates to the top until the release of Service Packs are included.

• Pavilion G7 1355 A9Y70EA: windows update does not

  I had to do a complete reinstall of my windows 7 and even recovery if everything else seems in good condition, the function of windows update does not work despite my now do a restore complete 3 times and also executes all microsofts fix programs for this problem, also tried several fixes YouTube, but nothing works , are getting desperate now. He said only updates and the small bar just keep on crossing of forever with nothing else to be... Help...

  Thans for the answer, I understand what you say, it's just that, until I discarded the computer a few days before (by foolishly following a tip to youtube to speed up computer that has totally stopped it start) windows update worked very well and it has been since a windows 10 installation and a removal of windows 10 the next day a few months ago. The folder c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/windows/download exist with only 2 files with names very long gibberish and it is only 15 kb and the other file is 39 k, which seems to be far big enough for any update. I was wondering if instead of the clean install from the recovery partition would be any different doing a clean install from the recovery disks that I did when I got the laptop? see you soon

  Made no difference with update disk and these 2 small updates are only updated Adobe and after 3 off straight, the bar is still meandering along, my update history shows only updates from 2012 when win7 was installed everything first... * beep * Microsoft!

  P. S.

  Yesterday, I decided I had enough and started to install windows from a download 10 earlier, but after it began, I thought "no you know you hated" so I canceled the installation. That's about 3 hours later when I went to stop the laptop it says close and install the updates, so, after 4 hours of installing updates 251 and restarted then installed another 41 updates, then again on the next closure, so basically, I think that the few installation the windows 10 made seemed to start updates to speed?

• Windows Update does not properly

  I am running windows 7 on a hp Q8300 quad core desktop computer processor.  Windows Update (do not remember the official name) has worked well up until now.  2 days ago it downloaded updates and and asked to close at the end of a session, as it is often done without any problem.

  Now when you start again it says something like "processing and installation of updates 0% complete, do not turn off your computer.  It was 0%.  Finally, it will start in any case, but updates are not yet installed.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Download and save the Fixit on this page - How to reset the Windows Update components?
  Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers.
  Now Configure the system to boot .
  NOTE: If a 3rd party firewall was previously used, open Windows Firewall in Control Panel to make sure that the native Windows 7 firewall is now on.
  In the clean boot state, all the firewalls of 3rd party will be disabled. Using the Fixit the system must be connected to the internet.

  Now run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose the default mode. Reboot the system to the same State of clean boot and see if he can find, detect and download updates now. If it is possible, then Cancel the Clean boot steps and restart in normal Windows mode.

  In normal Windows mode, can the system installs updates now?

  If this isn't the case, configure the system to boot once more and run the Fixit by using aggressive mode. Restart when it's done and follow the steps above to see if the system can update now.

• Windows update - Windows Update is not restore my windows/desktop computer after installing updates

  When running Windows Update is not reproduce my office and rather trashes everything.  Ysterday I left to work with over a dozen research Internet Explorer open and this morning, I get to a Windows auto update cycle, which wrecked all.  Well Yes, they are lost and of course, I can spend an hour or more to find once again but my boss is breathing down my neck, as if it was my fault.  Microsoft how inconsiderate!

  Of course, I have a solution, TURN OFF Microsoft Update but is this really what Microsoft wants?

  Please people think.

  Hi jbeech,

  No, I don't work for Microsoft and I am not associated with them in any way (other than to receive awards and certificates I earned on my own).  I'm a volunteer civilian gift free time to help other people.

  I meant nothing personal, per my comments of workflow.  I was just trying to do my best to help you avoid this problem in the future and apologize if you took it the wrong way.  I agree with you that he must restore it things automatically (as it does when you use the hibernation), but maybe that can be done (at least not always) because updates may affect items that are open and to update these programs must be closed (which makes saving them more difficult because if they look different after the update) It may not work if we try to restore them unless they can find a way to save ONLY the information and it is a much more difficult task).  This problem does not occur with an accident or an unexpected shutdown (and a complete restoration in cases does not always work as well and completely that we hope - at least I had problems back exactly where I was with all that every time).

  While you can choose to turn off automatic updates, you don't want to not go for very long without updating your system, so checking periodically (although if you want to do on a daily basis - I would try at least every Wednesday at least since most updates are released every Tuesday) is important in all cases.  The option I suggested (i.e. automatic downloads but no facilities) would at least them already downloaded (you would not need to check - that they would be there) it would take much less time to choose and install if you show if off completely - and when you decide to install, you will find it takes MUCH more time because you need to download and install (unless they are already downloaded).  But it is entirely up to you.

  Good luck and best wishes!

• 8007065B Windows Update will not install language packs

  In the past, I have installed language packs. It has been long since I tried, or needed to. Recently I tried to install the Japanese language pack, only to get the error of 8007065B, which I have found no solution for.

  I tried to manually install the language pack download Windows Update, and I said that it's incompatible. The same goes for any language pack.

  I think I can have interrupted an update a long time there, which gives a language pack partially down, or something similar. I don't remember very well, however. Maybe some file system has been damaged which causes all of the language packs seem incompatible?

  However, I am at my wits end here. I have no real understanding of what may be the problem.

  Hi Imrinfected,
   
  1. which edition of Windows is installed on the computer?
  2. do you have any security software installed on the system?
   
  This problem occurs if a previous Windows Update process did not cause the computer to be in a corrupted state. This prevents the installation of any language pack.
   
  Step 1: Check if the Japanese language pack is listed, if so, then remove
  a. Click Start and then click Control Panel.
  b. in the Control Panel, click clock, language, and region, click on regional and Language Options and then click on Change display language.
  c. on the keyboard and languages tab, click install/uninstall languages under display language. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  d. in choosing to install or remove languages, click on remove languages.
  e. under Select the languages that you want to delete, select the language that you want to remove, and then click Next.
  f. click on the language you want to remove and then click on remove.
  g. restart the computer and try to install the package of language manually in safe mode.
  If you are using Vista, so check out http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942903/

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Update could not be installed due to the error 2149842967 (KB958559-x 86.msu)

  Hello
  I am trying to install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode on my computer toshiba laptop. The compatibility tool h/w PC said that my PC is h/w support, assisted virtualization (BIOS and processor support for virtualization extensions).

  I installed Windows XP Mode.

  I am trying to install Windows Virtual PC on my Tablet RTM of Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 32 bit and it fails with below:
  Windows Update could not be installed due to the error 2149842967 "' (command line:""C:\WINDOWS\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\Users\vishalt\Downloads\Windows6.1-KB958559-x86.msu" ")
  
  I tried several options suggested as
  (a) restarts - did not work
  (b) netstop wuauserv, wicks, rename the softwaredistributionfolder, netstart these services (the two) and try windows complete update - windows update has started but I still couldn't install the KB958559
  (c) try cmdprompt in a high of UAC cmd window.

  I was wondering if there is something else that needs to be done to install this package KB.

  Thanks in advance
