  Hello drjoe_anzaldua,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.

  Usually the "Windows is unable to Check For Updates" error message produced always of the blocker window update connection attempt.

  1. first of all, please check that there is no any third-party firewall preventing Windows Update to communicate with "update.microsoft.com.

  2. check if Windows Firewall is blocking the update of Windows.

  Please see the following article for connection errors:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/836941

• Error "Windows cannot check for updates because the service is not running.

  I am using windows vista 64-bit ServicePack two on my laptop. I recently had to install new hard disks. Since then, Windows update does not work. When I check the updates dialog box appears indicating that Windows cannot check the updates because the service is not running. I used the Microsoft fix - it tool, and it recognizes that there is a problem, but cannot fix. History of the update is completely empty. I would appreciate any ideas on how to solve this problem.

  Please read this article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2730071/en-us

  Another suggestion is maybe disable the updates of Windows

  Reset.

  Activate the Windows updates.

  Try again. (Worked for some)

• Update the window cannot install KB2419640 with error code 80080005.

  The error code number popped up several times in last day little, but I seem to remember that it is an anti-virus complain of not being able to access the location, as if it were a file location or directory. Just this morning as model factory-restore strangely was reboot after 5-7 minutes with my mother by running. He's fine now, but this update will not be installed and is just telling me he hates me. I'm not a complete noob, but I'm new to Win 7. Please explain carefully and humanely, lol.

  PS - I'm sure that the number as a location points to Trend Micro Titanium + trial, that when I was doing the 'Factory Restore' backup drive, he moaned on an A - V running and said that he could not access this location.

  Solved. Is gone from the Menu start-> Windows Update-> View Update History-> installed updated, uninstalled the update, and then manually verified and auto-installe, has worked well. Sorry to bother are going for nothing, hope this helps someone!

• do not install updated security update for Windows XP (KB2686509) with the error code 0x8007fof4

  I get the ready to install icon every day, all the time. Downloads, it will fail to install. I looked at the history of the installation failed, and the error code is 0x8007f0f4.

  It's very frustrating, and I wish that Microsoft would issue a patch to fix this problem. I know I'm not the only one having this problem XP.

  I tried Safe Mode boot suggestions, I have no viruses, I have a defective keyboard log, and they are all the files 'uninstall '. I don't know what to do with them, so left alone.

• Windows cannot access \\[other computer] error code 0 x 80070035

  I have 4 laptops, 2 Win7, 1 running Win8.1 and 1 running Ubuntu 14 running. I used to have access to the other occasional problem, which was fixed by rebooting the router. I changed the 1 billion in the most recent router and I lost the connection between all Windows machines. Machine of Linux works fine, can access the shared folders on all Windows machines can ping all Windows machines can ping Linux machine, but cannot ping each other. Even in mode 'security '. All Win computers can access shared folders on the Linux machine. I searched and tried most of the solution without success. It must be a bug in the Windows operating system, preventing them from talking to each other and I can't put my finger on it.

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

• If I do a full reformat on my Vista laptop, is what will solve the problem - "Windows cannot check for updates" error code 800FFFF? Frustrated!

  I have a laptop that I use mainly for cloud computing and travel.  I have much stored on the hard drive itself and I spent hours trying to solve the problem regarding
  
  Windows can't check for updates, error code 800FFFF.

  I tried some of the recommendations varied on this site, but so far without success.

  If I just wipe my computer, and then start reinstalling everything from below upwards, will that solve the problem?  I know it sounds drastic, but I'm willing to do, and hopefully learn something in the process.

  I'm not computer specific read and write... so it would take me hours, wading through all the different corrections before as I find one that works.  That's why I'm considering a reformat.

  I checked for malware and repeatedly tried to system update readiness tool.

  Any thoughts?

  Some information on my system:

  OS: Vista Edition Home Premium
  Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002
  Model: Inspiron 1525

  Hello Jason.

  I suggest you try the following:
   
  close and exit all the open documents or windows program you have open.
   
  Open Internet Explorer (only!) go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 
  [ignore the warnings of DO NOT APPLY and the section will APPLY to] & run the difficulty.
   
  Note => for best results, check the option to remove personal settings.
   
  NEXT
  1. open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [ignore the title & symptoms].
   
  1B. make disappear/close the pop-up window "automated troubleshooting! -then...
   
  c. 1, without taking into account any warnings similar, or '' not recommended '' run difficulty he 50202 in DEFAULT mode (if on a race later you still have the same failure, then repeat the above & select aggressive mode).

  2. closing of the session and restart the cool system & then run manually check the updates in Windows Update, etc, etc...
  When you get to Windows Update, a custom scan updates. Take (accept) those marked critical or Important.
   
  If it has updates Silverlight or Net Framework, select not them and leave it for one pass later.
  Those that are marked as "optional" decline.
   
  Have infinite patience so that it scans and it's work.
   
  When you are prompted to restart Windows, please do. Allow it to restart.

  If you still have a failure and you just did a Fix - IT in the default mode, date back to 1 a/1 c and now this time make the default mode AND aggressive mode (both) and retry Windows Update again

  Note: Running aggressive mode difficulty he 50202 will result in a loss of the history of the update but will not affect the actual installed updates.
