  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

  836941. you may encounter temporary connection errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates

  After following the steps of troubleshooting in the article, if you still get an error message, thanks for posting again so that we can help you.

• 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)

• 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?

  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.

  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).

  Windows Update 80070490 error code appeared yesterday (21 September 2013) and the message "Windows cannot check for updates. I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit, Service Pack 2.

• Could not start the automatic updates. Get an error that Windows cannot check the updates, D0000034 after the failure of the Java updates

  OP: Action Center... PC problem: 1 important message

  After the failure of the attempt to install the JAVA update, I received this message from Action Center... Windows cannot check the updates. So I was taken to the dialog box and retried to check the updates of windows fails again with the code D0000034. Also did a system restore to the place before the installation of JAVA update attempt, but was no help. Can you help me?

  Hello Irfan,

  Thanks again for your response. Since your last I discovered through my system status (Control Panel), I wrote that my product ID and the Windows 7 activation status not available. So I followed instuctions to help and microsoft support to activate.  Yet once, I got the error code D0000034 as before with the problem of update. However, I was given the opportunity to phone, but received no phone #. I bought the DVD of Windows 7 and installed on the PC that was custom built for me.  On the site Web microsoft help and support, I was asked for the product ID, which according to them is a # 20 numbers.  Not the only one, I have is the product key which is one 25-alpha-numeric.  I tried to enter only and does not pass.  This is why I say that I can pay for help since I did not ' have the product ID.  Maybe it isn't your area of expertise, Irfan, but I was hoping... I re - install windows on last April when I got in trouble and probably did not re - activate? What do you think?  If you can get back on track, I would be very grateful and thank you once again to be a big help!

  Please ignore above request. I have since re-activated Windows and the problem was solved with technical assistance telephone and thank you again for your help, Irfan. Also thanks to all the people answering the phone at microsoft. The experience I had was really a pleasure. I wasn't expecting such an attitude courteous and professional.

  Keep up the good work,

• 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).
