• Windows 8 "license is invalid" after Windows updates (help please!)

  Hello

  I have a C540 all in one (no load) running Windows 8 and noticed yesterday that Windows updates have been failure for months then tried to run all the updates so that I can update to 8.1 (and, possibly, 10). At that time (and since purchase - I'm the original purchaser) Windows 8 has been activated very well.

  There were various failures and reversions of updates and now Windows does not recognize the Activation Code. The key is material, it shows that I have a key in the registry, but when I entered in the service of Activation of Windows I get the error:

  The following error occurred while trying to use the product key:

  Code:
  0xC004F01F

  Description:
  The Software Licensing Service determined that the license is not valid.

  Microsoft helpfully told me this isn't their problem because it is an OEM license (even if the only thing I've done is apply the updates of Windows) and I need to buy a key to sales at retail. Lenovo speaks for me because I'm out of warranty.

  Someone at - it ideas or experience or I'll just have to hit this PC with a massive hammer and not buy Lenovo or authorized OEM PCs again?

  Thanks in advance!

  I think I have a half today to answer my own question.

  Today (without any changes made to anything) the key to Activation of Windows 8 was suddenly recognized and valid again. Now install each windows update individually also works.

  I think that it is possible, but there is an intermittent hardware fault kind on the C540 causing quite different material for the MS license not to recognize the configuration (and think that the license is not valid for the PC), whatever it is not permanent.

  Then - in terms of correction... Well I don't have - he went just by itself and I guess he'll be back one day...

• 8.1 Windows update help

  I am running Windows 8 in my PC.
  The download link for Windows 8.1 in Windows applications store is visible to me.

  Is it possible to download the update via my browser.

  Thank you.

  No, it can come from the store.  The people responsible for that decision no longer work for Microsoft, and the next update after a (Windows 8.1 update 1) occur via the normal Windows Update System (be it in the control panel or the KB downloads).  I expect that the next fall updated to be the same.

  Greetings,

  Please read this.

  You can wait patiently (updates will appear later) or there is a problem in the article.

  You need to reinstall Windows for the fix. Your PC must be isolated from the network when reinstalling windows. You need to download both updates and install before connecting your PC to the network.

  I used the fix of Ed Bott and it works. But I reinstalled Win 7 again. I wasn't going to wait for hours and hours to get the security updates.

  You can try to install these updates on the problematic installation of Win 7:

  1. apply the Microsoft patch found here. Disconnect from the network.

  2. install the two updates in offline mode and cross your fingers.

  3. repeat on Windows Update.

  See you soon!

• Windows Update Web site crashes and restores, impossible to get any real updates (XP Pro)

  I recently had a collapse of the system that I was finally able to recover using the "Last known good Configuration" option, which seemed to take me only a few minutes after my initial installation of Windows XP.

  Everything is working smooth now, except for a few hiccups as a result of there being installed yet related programs Windows and trying to work I guess XP think should not be in the State they are currently.  I was hoping that through the Windows Update process causes XP then recognize my (updated) the current versions of Windows Media Player, etc., but there is a problem.  Assuming that my logic is good, that my version of Internet Explorer is not a XP expects to interact with.  I have IE 8.  To after my "Add/Remove Programs" list IE is not yet on my system.

  When I try to go to update.microsoft.com and proceed past the home page there are a lot of Flash and then clicking on and then brings back me to the same page with a small bubble in the tab bar that says "this tab has been recovered.  A problem with this webpage had to close and reopen Internet Explorer tab. »

  Any ideas on how I can get past this?

  Thank you!

  [The WinXP SP2 disc that came with your computer may be named System Recovery but it has nothing to do with the Windows system restore to not mix youself.]

  912812 predates the availability of both IE8 and IE7 so there is no way that IE8 is installed correctly. So if KB912812 was installed on March 13, 2010, the resumption of 'Last good' known Configuration you did (on or just before March 13, 2010) actually had a repair installation.

  How to perform a repair of Windows XP installation, if a later version of Internet Explorer is installed
     http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917964

  Translation: Since (obviously) not uninstall you IE8 before you've done the repair facility, Windows and IE are now in a situation "confusing." This explains why IE8 is not listed in Add/Remove programs and why you are missing so many updates (including security for IE8 was last updated).

  Your only recourse now is to backup your personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this stage) and then format the HARD drive and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that another repair facility (upgrade AKA on-site) will not & cannot remedy!

• Help, INternet explorer does not work after windows update

  One day, the computer automatically downloads and installs the programs that are recommended by microsoft windows.
   
  After installation, my INternet explorer does not work.

  It reads:

  Windows could not access 'ie.redirect.hp.com '.
  Windows received an HTTP error message: 403 (refused).
  -> If this problem is consistenly prevent windows to connect to several sites on the Internet, contact your network administrator or your ISP.

  Then I click ok, and then try to go on 'www.google.com '.
  It still does not work, so I click on diagnose connection problems
  This time, it reads:

  Windows not found no problem with the network connection on this computer.

  You want to report the problem to Microsoft? Additional details about what went wrong can help create a solution. The report will be sent the next time you go online.
  Send information

  But when I send, I can not because I have Canon go online on my Internet Explore.
  When he first stopped working, I could use the system restore, but after a few months I dropped and now I can't restore the system to a place that it worked fine.

  I also know that this problem is not the administrator of network or something like that because I downloaded Firefox when IE stopped working, and Firefox works fine.

  I tried everything, but I can not do it by myself, so help please!

  Hi imoffshore,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

  ·         When was the last time it worked?

  ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

  ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

  ·         You get the error message?

  When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

  1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
  2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
  3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

  The options available for automatic updates.

  You must make some changes in the windows registry.

  Important: 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.
