  original title: My automatic Windows Vista updates do not work?

  My automatic updates Windows Vista do not work? There is no error code, it just says "Windows can't check for updates.

  I tried to use the fix from microsoft, it would join in the other responses, but it did not work.

  And have you tried resolution: method 2 in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414?

• 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

• Windows can't check for updates, error 80070409. How can I fix it

  What should I do?

  Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  How about 80070490error?

  With the kind permission of Update Services MVP TaurArian:

• I get "Windows can't check for updates" everytime I try I get a "an error occurred" why I can't get this to work?

  I can't get updates at all. I did have one in 2 weeks because the automatic update can not pass for some reason any... Does anyone have this problem before?

  CharlesPyle,

  Suggest that you first spread malware as the cause of the problem by following these steps:

  (1) have your system scanned by the antivirus/security suite installed.
  (2) run this tool from Kaspersky: how to remove malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=208280684>

  If no malware has been detected, there's a Fixit on this page which will reset the Windows Update components:

  How to reset Windows Update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058components >

  Suggest you download and Save it. Then, close all the open programs and web browsers.
  Run Microsoft Fixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.
  After that he finished the race, see if the return code is displayed again when looking for updates.

  If not, then run the Fixit once more and choose his Aggressive mode.
  Restart once it is finished and see if the return code always appears when the updates.

  IF malware is detected, then please post if it has been removed and that the specific name of what has been detected.

• Windows cannot check the updates - C800044E error code

  Hello

  Since yesterday, I get a notification icon in the taskbar indicating that windows cannot check the updates. If I click on the icon and then click on the button "check for updates" in the new window, the search end reports that an error has occurred and the error code is C800044E. This happens every time after the computer starts and when I try to manually check for updates.

  The operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit with OEM license.

  I already googled for this error code, but none of the suggestions found during the search worked. Mode by default with no results, I installed the MicrosoftFixit50202 (have not tried yet aggressive mode). I ran the malware Microsoft Windows (without threats found) removal tool. I downloaded and installed manually the KB947821 update for vista, also without results.

  The last successful update is dated more than a month previously, and I assume that at the same time, some important updates may appear. Can someone help me with this problem?

  I've already solved the problem by using the system restore (I used a restore enjoyed a week point).

  I'll answer your questions anyway, in which case this may help solve one similar problem to others:

  1 Vista SP2 (all updates important/critical installed as of October 1, 2010)

  2. Eset NOD32 antivirus/antispyware with current subscription. No third-party firewall (just the windows firewall).

  3-4. I have never installed a Norton or McAfee application on this computer, but I'm not sure if a trial version of Norton AV is pre-installed with this computer (if it did, I removed it when I originally set up the computer - almost 3 years ago).

• Windows cannot check the updates of error code 80080005

  My laptop is a Dell Inspiron I1720
  The processor is Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2310
  Windows Vista operating system

  There is an icon that appears in my task bar that says "Windows cannot check for updates.
  When I click on it it takes me to my page of Windows Update and I have the option to check the updates. But when I click that whatever he says 'Check updates' and the bar under just keeps going. There is no response.

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

  Finally he appeared as

  Windows could not search for new updates.
  An error occurred when the new updates on your computer.
  Error (s) found: 80080005

  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...

• After the removal of the malware, I can't check for updates or download files of definition of

  I bought a PC with Windows XP Professional. He has been infected with 5 different Trojan horses, a backdoor and other malicious software. I cleaned the computer but found that I can't download Security Essentials definition updates or even can I search for updates by using Windows Update.  It gives an error saying that there is a problem with the network connection. Otherwise, I can access internet and download, and the only remaining issue was when Java gave me a prompt to download a update of the skipped upward same error box. While the computer has been infected, it actually blocked access to the internet and I couldn't access it at all so I think that the malware must have corrupted one or several files somewhere along the line. Unfortunately, I don't have the original XP system disk to perform an upgrade on the spot to restore the files. If anyone has ideas on how I could fix this problem before reloading the operating system, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  I will be reload the OS so I have my answer to this question. Please, if anyone wants to add anything don't hesitate not, but if you insist on patronising pass to the next thread to exercise your "superiority". Thank you.

  You can trust in the security of any computer used until you have formatted the HARD drive & then did a clean install of Windows. Period, end of story.

  Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order!) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

  If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

  Note: The computer must not be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

• Error "Windows cannot check for updates ' 80244019

  I have Win7 Home Premium SP1 - 32-bit installed. Windows update will not check or install giving error 80244019.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Robear fantastic job!

  Done all the steps above except 8A and everything went well.

  Did a manual search of updates and 63 reviews plus optional 9 found and installed OK.

  KB3175443, KB3178034, KB3177725, KB3167679 all found and installed OK.

  Thanks much Robear for your skill and persistence.

  You are welcome & thank you for your comments. Mark one or more of my previous posts as RESPONSE will officially close your thread (if you care about things).

  

  PS: I wouldn't vote USEFUL or two while you're there either.

  

  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).

• HELP get the Update Error 80070426 tirelessly... "WindowsUpdate Error 80070426" "WindowsUpdate_dt000" - I can't check for updates or download windows updates.

  Hi all

  First time here.  Relentlessly, I get 80070426 error when I try to download the latest urgent/updates Windows Update recommended.  This has happened for weeks.  I scanned with Malwarebytes & Avast... find scans nothing.  I saved and run mbam and avast to disc... still nothing is found.

  My windows preferences are defined on notify me when the urgency and recommended updates are available for download.  I passed this automatic download and prompt me to install updates to day... it doesn't matter... I still get the same error.  When I click search for updates, I get a MSG "windows update has encountered an unknown error."  When I go after "Get help with error," help Windows results pulled up to... "WindowsUpdate_Error_80070426" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

  I even recorded my copy of windows again... I bought Sony computer with windows installed.

  I have the Sony support for these questions... but I really want to sit on the phone with someone who plays a standard solution... format that does not work... only for transfer to the expert support.

  I'd appreciate any help that can be provided to this forum.  Anyone? Ideas?

  Thank you
