• Windows Update service will not work after upgrading the hard drive

  I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit, Home Premium SP2 with 8 GB of ram. I recently cloned my hard drive OEM of 500 GB, 5400 RPM Toshiba MK5055GSX via a standalone, dual drive bay dock for upgrade to a 750 GB, 7200 RPM, Western Digital WD7500BPKT. Since the clone/upgrade, Service Windows Update does not work and gives the message: ' Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. " You may have to restart your computer. "And Yes, I checked and everything related to Windows Update seems to be 'turned on' or well defined, but the service will not work. Notes; Windows Update still works with the player "OEM", it is only the new WD drive that has the problem. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion on getting this problem is resolved.

• How to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted win7 upgrade to win 10

  Can someone tell me how to stop Windows Update to force an unwanted Win 7 upgrade to win 10.

  Currently, I have 50 + 'important' updates pending and 3 updates "optional" (which one is ranked 10 Windows), but even with 10 Windows Update is not selected and the value "hide this update" the only option shown in Windows Update is upgrading to Windows 10.

  Any attempt to install ONE of the other Win 7 or MS Office updates translates into Windows Update, saying that it is downloading Windows 10.

  I would like to install updates Windows 7 (and MS Office), but given the way that Microsoft has put on several occasions customers for a forced update to win 10, I'd really rather not count on leave install Win 10 and just hope that the 'Roll Back' option really works without leaving me right where I am now.

  I used this: http://blog.ultimateoutsider.com/2015/08/using-gwx-stopper-to-permanently-remove.html

• Windows Update restart Notification keeps coming

  I have a user who keeps having notified it needs to restart his PC because updates have been applied and they need of a reboot.  The only thing that is good when the window comes up to him "restart now" is grayed out and only "restart later" is clickable.  then he clicks that and the small icons of automatic update remains at the bottom of the clock.

  I made sure that the user has restarted and there.  But the guest always to return.  We have automatically updated authorized through the policy and I can not change these settings.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

• Policy setting does not work: 'turn off the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update.

  Why this parameter has been added to Windows 7 Pro policy if it does not work?

  Computer--> administrative templates policy-> Windows-> Windows Update components

  I can't upgrade yet.  I'd like to, but I can't.  I lost a whole weekend, taking advantage of the new version of the screen of BSOD in Win10 until I dropped.  I need to backup my files, applications, and configuration information and do a clean install of Win7.  I'll do it when I have time, right now I have not, I work 40 hours a week and I go to school at night.  But if my computer is overheating because it begins to turn during the day I have to send M$ by Bill...

• Don't arrive after Vista Ultimate Upgrade Windows Update to download SP1 for Windows Vista

  I have 2 computers were pre-installed with Vista Edition family content and Basic Service Pack 2. Due to a new system of distribution to come in I had to upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I bought the DVD upgrade containing all Service Packs. After removing the Service Pack 2 and Service pack 1 (in that order) Windows Update will not download Service Pack 1

  You have made or has not upgraded Vista Basic to Vista Ultimate computers?

  That said, Windows Update has nothing to do with upgrading a Vista computer.

  Given that these are specific consumer forums, try to publish in the appropriate Vista IT Pro instead-online http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/windowsvistaitpro forum
