Windows 7 never ends search for updates

Keep on looking to always heat the CPU and never find anything.

I did a lot of patches before, so what I'm missing now?

Thank you.

  • New error causing the Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 80246002 during the search for updates

    I use Windows 7 64-bit with Service Pack 1. Windows Update worked fine until the Windows Update Agent is automatically updated to 7.6.7600.320 in August 2014. Now, when Windows Update tries to search for updates, it reports "Windows could not search for updates" and indicates that the 80246002 error code was received.

    [UPDATE]  Since posting this query, I think I solved my problem by following the instructions described on the page "Update tool of the system for Windows 7 for x 64-based Systems (KB947821) [may 2014]."   I downloaded the file (Windows6 1 - KB947821 - v33 - x 64.msu) and then let it settle. He describes himself as "Fix for Windows (KB947821)".  The installation took awhile, with a lot of disk activity.  When he finally finished, I rebooted my machine and tried an update of Windows. It seems to work fine; He even found a significant update that I then installed successfully.  So apparently my problem the hotfix for Windows (KB947821) provided the solution.

    [UPDATE 2]  After seeing the messages on the change the DNS to resolve the problem, I thought I would add the following information where it is necessary:

    • I use the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer 11 and confirmed it works in 64-bit mode by inspecting the user agent of the browser.  You can check the user agent of your browser by visiting http://user-agent.me/
    • My Internet Protocol properties are set to 'Obtain DNS server address automatically'.  It works with my wireless router, and I've never tried to change it.

    [UPDATE 3]  After thinking I was safe, after doing several searches for updates, the returned 80246002 problem on my machine!  I rebooted my machine and my wireless router, but it did not help.  So, I advanced and tried the DNS thing: I changed the favorite 8.8.8.8 DNS server and another server DNS 8.8.4.4 and then rebooted.  Search on Windows Update is now successfully!  I am humbled and grateful!

    In my case, I got the window update 80246002 error code after I uninstalled KB2982791 according to the https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS14-045 and then tried the updates.  I have nothing clears the error (ipconfig/flushdns, rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, a few MS Fix, etc...).  KB2993651 being the replacement update I was trying to download and install, I decided to manually download the update from the windows update (http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=KB2993651) catalog.  After you downloaded and installed KB2993651, I rebooted the PC and then I was able to check Windows updates again without entering the 80246002 error code.

    Running Windows 7 Professional SP1.

    Try to download and install Windows 10 through the tool, it never downloads.  After a further inspection, Windows Update had the red X and says that he had not been updated.  After several discussions and solutions proposed, including the use of the patch tool (by using the https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/910336 page) but also to delete the files in the Software Distribution folder.

    Other attempts have me using the DISM tool and manually stop/start/restart the Background Intelligence Transfer Service and Windows Update through the administration tools.  Currently able to search for updates, but it exceeds an eternal "check updates".  Still can't update to Windows 10.

    1. What is the suite of security/antivirus installed?
    2 is a 3rd party firewall installed?
    3 - is an upgrade to another edition of Windows?

    Please click on the round of departure. In the search field type programs and files in wups2.dll

    Under programs right click wups2.dll and choose Properties, when the Properties window opens, click the Details tab.
    Version of the file and the product should be showing 7.4.7600.226
    Now do the same for c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
    He, too, should show file version and product like 7.4.7600.226
     
    If the version is earlier than that, you will need to install the more recent Version of the Windows Update Agent.
    The easiest way to do this is therefore download and Save the Fixit found here - How to reset the Windows Update components?
    Once the download completes close all open programs and browsers.
    Run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.

    BUT, if the installed firewall antivirus/security suite or a 3rd party is causing the "reading check error" then the Fixit may/does not work.
    If this is the case, then Configure the system to boot after download and Save the Fixit.
    Then, run the Fixit after the reboot to clean boot state.
    Restart and Cancel the clean boot steps, restart again to normal Windows mode.

    NOTE:
    in the boot minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. When you run the Fixit either unplug the system from it is the network connection or make sure the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on by opening the control panel > Windows Firewall.

  • A clean installation of Win7 Pro 64 Bit OS SP1 maintains the search for updates. (Error 0 x 80070005 windows update)

    Hi, I recently formatted my HD and clean installed with an older version of Win7 Pro SP1 x 64 OS, I more than a week now looking online for help, but nothing is. Windows Update appears to hang "search for updates". I don't presume that my Pc is virus free because of a clean install, so I'm not sure that Microsoft stopped providing updates for older versions of windows or not. I also tried to upgrade to OS 64-bit win10 everything works fine with the installation until it reaches "search for updates" which also hangs and does not download updates, I tried Microsoft stand-alone install also but who doesn't either. I also tried running "Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics Tool" results are lower. I also tried to reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on the Microsoft Web site and found a windows "0x80070005" error code also known as "access denied." Something to do with registry permissions I think. A boot minimum, then run the Microsoft fixit would fix the issue im having with windows update.

  • in previous versions of firefox (I'm currently on beta 6.0), you can search for updates of the add-on... This seems to be is no longer possible. Where can I get the latest updates for my Add-ons?

    I saw that you can right click on each module in the Add-ons Manager to search for an update on this specific point, but does not search the updates on the whole as before 4? (at least I remember in 3.x I could search for updates on the whole...)

    In the view of the modules, click on the symbol "gear" to the left of the search box.

  • Photoshop 2015.5 CC: no search for updates (called in the Help menu)

    To check and install the latest updates for Photoshop you choose the "Help" menu > "Updates". Then Adobe Application Manager starts and indicates if there are updates or not (for all your Adobe software installed).

    But in Photoshop CC 2015.5 this does not work. In bridge CC 6.2.0.179 and the latest version of InDesign, it works as it should.

    Launch creative application of cloud and the search for updates also works.

    Maybe it's a bug Photoshop CC 2015.5.

    Tried to uninstall and reinstall but it does not solve it.

    It is not a big problem, I wanted to just indicate.

    Everything works now after reinstall, thank you
