  Hello drjoe_anzaldua,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.

  Usually the "Windows is unable to Check For Updates" error message produced always of the blocker window update connection attempt.

  1. first of all, please check that there is no any third-party firewall preventing Windows Update to communicate with "update.microsoft.com.

  2. check if Windows Firewall is blocking the update of Windows.

  Please see the following article for connection errors:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/836941

  836941. you may encounter temporary connection errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates

  After following the steps of troubleshooting in the article, if you still get an error message, thanks for posting again so that we can help you.

• Error "Windows cannot check for updates because the service is not running.

  I am using windows vista 64-bit ServicePack two on my laptop. I recently had to install new hard disks. Since then, Windows update does not work. When I check the updates dialog box appears indicating that Windows cannot check the updates because the service is not running. I used the Microsoft fix - it tool, and it recognizes that there is a problem, but cannot fix. History of the update is completely empty. I would appreciate any ideas on how to solve this problem.

  Please read this article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2730071/en-us

  Another suggestion is maybe disable the updates of Windows

  Reset.

  Activate the Windows updates.

  Try again. (Worked for some)

• If I do a full reformat on my Vista laptop, is what will solve the problem - "Windows cannot check for updates" error code 800FFFF? Frustrated!

  I have a laptop that I use mainly for cloud computing and travel.  I have much stored on the hard drive itself and I spent hours trying to solve the problem regarding
  
  Windows can't check for updates, error code 800FFFF.

  I tried some of the recommendations varied on this site, but so far without success.

  If I just wipe my computer, and then start reinstalling everything from below upwards, will that solve the problem?  I know it sounds drastic, but I'm willing to do, and hopefully learn something in the process.

  I'm not computer specific read and write... so it would take me hours, wading through all the different corrections before as I find one that works.  That's why I'm considering a reformat.

  I checked for malware and repeatedly tried to system update readiness tool.

  Any thoughts?

  Hello Jason.

  I suggest you try the following:
   
  close and exit all the open documents or windows program you have open.
   
  Open Internet Explorer (only!) go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 
  [ignore the warnings of DO NOT APPLY and the section will APPLY to] & run the difficulty.
   
  Note => for best results, check the option to remove personal settings.
   
  NEXT
  1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [ignore the title & symptoms].
   
  1B. make disappear/close the pop-up window "automated troubleshooting! -then...
   
  c. 1, without taking into account any warnings similar, or '' not recommended '' run difficulty he 50202 in DEFAULT mode (if on a race later you still have the same failure, then repeat the above & select aggressive mode).

  2. closing of the session and restart the cool system & then run manually check the updates in Windows Update, etc, etc...
  When you get to Windows Update, a custom scan updates. Take (accept) those marked critical or Important.
   
  If it has updates Silverlight or Net Framework, select not them and leave it for one pass later.
  Those that are marked as "optional" decline.
   
  Have infinite patience so that it scans and it's work.
   
  When you are prompted to restart Windows, please do. Allow it to restart.

  If you still have a failure and you just did a Fix - IT in the default mode, date back to 1 a/1 c and now this time make the default mode AND aggressive mode (both) and retry Windows Update again

  Note: Running aggressive mode difficulty he 50202 will result in a loss of the history of the update but will not affect the actual installed updates.

• Check for updates takes forever, download runs and runs and does not complete

  I am running Windows 7 Premium family with Service Pack 1. Verification of updates runs for hours and sometimes he can't find anything. I ran it last night 29/08/2016 and it took 8 hours to complete. I chose a download of only 75kb and it worked for four hours (0 KB and 0% complete) 30/08/2016. Last updates were installed with success was the 28/08/2016 21:18, since then these are the problems that I had with.  Is the best thing to (restore to an earlier point in time) or remove the installed updates? Is there something I otherwise should I do to correct this situation. I seem to be other problems. Appreciate any help.

• Windows 7 "check for Updates" stuck (I tried KB3135445)

  We moved recently, last updated my PC was December 2015, now that the things plugged in and noticed that Windows Update crashes when looking for updates. I spent about 4 hours, now looking at the Forums and Youtube, but nothing has solved the problem. The KB3135445 fix seems to download a different file that people show online (WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab), then perhaps it installed never really 3135445? Also, I got the Error Message: "Setup has encountered an error: 0x8024001e", which I can't find referred to in one of the list of.

  My system is an old HP PC, 64-bit, but it is updated with Service Pack 1 and the most recent update was KB3035583.

  I'm an old dad, so just because I am using some of these fancy terms, please do NOT assume that I am an I / T guy, so please help me with a few simple touches! Thank you very much.

  These remnants of Norton seem to wreak havoc with Windows, so is there anything I can do, apart from [another application], change to avoid this problem in the future...?

  If you want to stick with Norton, never ever upgrade to the new version (for example, from Norton 360 Norton 360 or Norton Security v23.x v23.x v22.x). Uninstall the current version, download/run a new copy of the removal of Norton & reboot tool and then do a clean install of the new version.

  Or you can switch to another (paid or free) suite anti-virus/security applications (for example, free Microsoft Security Essentials - which will be supported at least until the Extended Support for Win7 ends January 14, 2020).

• Windows can't check for updates, update history lists all updates but updates installed tells me that I have no updates installed.

  Hi, I use Win Vista Ultimate 32-bit sp1.  I have KIS2009, A Squared Anti Malware, MalwareBytes Anti Malware installed.  All showing my system is clean.  I ran MSRT analysis to light, and he pointed out that my system is clean also.

  The problem
  When I connect, I get a balloon in the notification area telling me that "windows cannot check for updates.  Opening of update of Windows and do it to check a windows update updates it just go and research without results.  It justs keep checking, but I get no error.  Lists history of update Windows Defender updates the last today, 06/09/09.  All updates prior to this are Windows Defender until 28/04/09.  At this time I have installed 15 updates, including some Office updates.  Click on installed updates and finally I said that there is no update at all?:

  What I tried
  I disabled my firewall and tried again.  No luck :(

  Tried a point files, but apparently I don't have?  I should have, but there is none there.  Install Win7 RC on a different partition, would this have wiped my restore points? I remember Vista made this for XP, but assumed that this would have been resolved with Win7.

  I tried to install Win Vista sp2 but unfortunately, I installed the Russian language (don't know why I, I was annoyed a day) but the sp2 download in five languages and Russian is not one of them :(

  So I tried to do a search on it.  Came across various inscription mention deletion of registry keys.  Only problem is that I have not mentioned keys.  Some keys were supposed to be in the components of HKLM, sorry can't remember the others.

  Find this site, I tried the FIX tool, reset Windows Update.  He ran not aggressive and he made the restoration, request for permission to UAC thingy, then the progress bar moves to the right and nothing else happens.  Restarted exciting tried and the same thing happens.  Been sitting there for more than two hours and no results.

  I checked services.msc.  I have BITS began, was automatic but have updated the manual according to the instructions contained in the ' automatic updates can be turned off "at the top of the forum.  Update of Windows, The Windows event log and Software Licensing Service are all set to automatic, and running.

  Windows Update log shows the following:

  Don't understand any of this.

  Any notice received with gratitude.

  Martin,
  Thanks for your help so far.  I hope you don't mind but today how that spending (hard day @ work) I think I'll leave the installation of repair until tomorrow.  More that likely the disc would have burst in the player, causing a sort of spike power was so my motherboard.  So I think I'll just relax tonight and I hope tomorrow is a day better.  Hope you have a good.

  See you soon

• Vista Home Premium - icon shows "windows can't check for updates.

  Recently, the icon of update in the system tray is always present and displays the message "windows cannot check for updates.  However, updates are always being informed when they are available (finally been windows 06/06/09 update of Defender), but may not be installed until I have shut down the machine.

  Manually check the updates just - scans without any reported results.

• Error code Windows Update 80070490 and the message "Windows cannot check the updates.

  Windows Update 80070490 error code appeared yesterday (21 September 2013) and the message "Windows cannot check for updates. I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit, Service Pack 2. I tried almost all the suggestions on the Internet (including on Microsoft Web page) on this way to solve this problem, including Microsoft fixed it, the update of the system, file Windows Update DIAGCAB Diagnostics tool and etc, but still getting the message. The last successful update was on 13.09.2013.  All updates done before and September 13 are written as a 'success' in the folder "Update history", but when I open the folder "Installed updates", I don't see anything and it says "no update are installed on this computer", which is strange, because at the moment, Windows Update was made automatically without any problem.   Please help me to solve the problem with this error code.

  Thank you, you shared your experience with me, but I already solved the problem. Niemiro of Sysnative.com forum helped me for this

• Why "check for updates... "shows it that there is no update while I use Firefox 3.6.18 and latest version 5.0.1?

  First of all, I would like to state that I have hardly any technical knowledge. So forgive me if this seems like a silly question to professionals. Here are the details about this problem according to the best of my limited knowledge:

  I am currently using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18; previously, 3.6.13. It was upgrade 3.6.9 3.6.13 after I click on Check for Updates... and he told me that this would be done when I reboot my system. When I restarted my PC, I was surprised to find that it has been downloaded version 3.6.18. I didn't know how she had progressed in the process, so I let him finish. After that, I disabled the option that allows it to download and upgrade to date on its own and turned it off. Next time when I started, it was 3.6.18, but has not been updated on its own.

  Now, I want to upgrade directly to version 5.0.1. But when I leave the option "download and install the update automatically" under Tools > Options > advanced > update, it downloads and updates the versions according to their order of liberation. So if I let it, then when I start it up the next time, he'll start download version 3.6.18 and update to it rather than to directly update 5.0.1. It will continue to do so until it reaches it. For reasons of my own, I don't like that. So I unchecked the option "Download and install the update automatically" and chose the "ask me what I want to do" option (so that it is not repeating the "download and update" process on its own whenever I start my PC). Then I went to the site of Firefox and the thought of downloading and updating to the latest version of my own. But then I was informed that if I do, I have the latest version, but I'll lose all my favorites registered unless I followed a procedure hectic in order to save and load them again after you have installed the latest version of Firefox. I won't let that happen either. So someone can get out of this situation suggests without losing my favorites?

  Almost forgot. I tried several times by going to help > Check For Updates..., but each time he returned to the same result: "there is no update. Firefox periodically checks the updates. "How is it no update is available, while the version I use is 3.6.18 and the latest version is 5.0.1? In short, Check for Updates... has not helped either. (Even though I have updated the last time, shouldn't it have updated to version 3.6.13 to 5.0.1 directly?)

  So, can anyone suggest a way in which I don't lose my favorites and would be able to upgrade to the latest version directly too? A response that would not involve the removal of the current version and install the most recent, but to update directly to it (it is fine if it needs to download) would be more welcome. I know that bookmarks can be saved in a file and everything, but I would like to know if it is possible, as has happened for my current version of the previous version. (He downloaded and updated itself on its own, disturb nothing, not even myself connected on some accounts where I stay connected.) The only problem there is that he wasn't directly updated to the latest version.)

  I hope that the above details of sense and are pretty useful for others to help me. Thank you.

  No need to transfer bookmarks and settings to the new version as a new version of Firefox will use the last profile you used unless you check otherwise. You can always save your profile in the case.

  The Firefox 5.0 would be the same.

• Cannot install Windows updates (Windows cannot check the updates)

  I have 10 computers networked with a Windows SBS11 server as a domain controller. The 10 computers, 6 of them are Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and the other 4 are Windows Vista Pro (32 bit). All computers stopped Vista download of updates ago and which gives an error, the message "Windows cannot check for updates. When you try to check for updates manually or automatically that the error is displayed, but it should not be any problem with the updates are downloaded and installed on Windows 7 computers.

  I tried the following:

  -Ran the system update tool.

  -Execution of Malware Bytes and Vipre Antivirus analysis in safe mode. No infections found.

  -Disabled the firewall and restarted the search.

  -Reset the proxy server using the winhttp netsh from the command prompt.

  -Restarted Windows Update Services.

  -Ensure that the BITS Service is running.

  -GPO update for Windows updates not be configured on computers.

  -Change Windows Update settings to allow the manual update. Allowed for the updates to install, but after computer restart returned to the old settings and error appeared.

  If there are any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate.

  My laptop is a Dell Inspiron I1720
  The processor is Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2310

  I tried checking update yesterday again. No answer there are really long, about 5-6 hours.

  Finally he appeared as

  An error occurred when the new updates on your computer.

  There are times when I turn on the laptop I get random pop ups saying "process host Windows stopped working. I guess that the problem might be related to that as well.

  This has happened for several months. Have not been able to update windows and so I can not download any program. I'm stuck without an anti-virus now because my anti-virus subscription has ended. But I can't download anything again because my windows is not updated.

  For now, I'm stuck here without an anti-virus and my laptop has been running very slow...
