    Hello


    Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    Method 1:
    You can try to start the fix - it and check. Check out the following link.
    The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working
    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/
     
    Method 2:
     
    You can read the following article.
    Cannot install updates in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
    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. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. How to back up and restore the registry in Windows:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

    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.

    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

  • 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:

    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:
    How to get the latest version of the Windows Update Agent

    Reset.

    Save components WU:

    1. Start an elevated command prompt.
    2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
      regsvr32 Jscript.dll
      regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll

    Reset.

    Try updates.

    If it still does not work after this - say parts of the former post once again (no need to conduct a new analysis of malware) from:

    "Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:

    ... but stopping at... «STILL no?'.»»

    Back - let everyone know what is happening.

  • 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.

    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 .

    update of sql server 2005 service pack 3 error code 6D9E Windows update security does not accept the update

    Hey lasdj,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!

    If you receive Windows Update error 6d9e while installing SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3 by using Windows Update, it means that the installation folders and directories are compressed or encrypted.

    To fix this problem, make sure the folder locations where you are installing the service pack to aren't compressed or encrypted, or specify a different folder and then run Windows Update again.

    Therefore, remove the compression of the DATA directory and run together to the top again.

    Remove compression from the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server folder and see if you are able to install the updates without any problem.

    See the links below for more details:

  • Windows Search service does not (Windows 7)

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
    Whenever I try to search that I am asked to turn on indexing, and I do.
    Because it is a recurring event, I studied further in indexing options.
    Indexing options said "indexing does not work" and and only allows me to enter the advanced options.
    Automatic troubleshooting futher gives me error measage "Windows Search service does not..." "Not fixed".
    I checked the services and tried to force start this service and get "error 3: the system cannot find the path specified."

    Can someone help me with this service?

    Security of Windows 7 is a PIA and what my problem was. "Indexing does not' and my inability to start theWindows Search service has persisted despite all these tips above and much more.

    When I went to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data and took possession of it (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/), I was able to restart the Windows Searchservice. Subsequently, indexing ran and worked.

    We need the value of the securities of the ProgramData (C:\ProgramData) directory in order to stop this _ to interfere with the installation of programs and, often, the execution of programs and services. Right-click on C:\ProgramData and select Security, then the set of permissions to allow all permissions (http://www.blogsdna.com/2159/how-to-take-ownership-grant-permissions-to-access-files-folder-in-windows-7.htm) and the problem disappeared. (Note C:\ must be path of your window or use your default root.)

    Thank you Microsoft Support for your irrational, frustrating security measures and the fact that your support team has no idea. You have not been able to write a user friendly OS from XP and probably since MSDOS. Too bad I hate Apple more than you.

    6 hours of BS to understand this.
