Windows cannot update!

Hello

I can't seem to do a Windows Update on my Vista Home Premium all of a sudden. The sames goes for my Windows Defender, anti-virus, etc.

Error code is 80072F8F. Can anyone help?

Hello Aquace21,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

Error 80072F8F number, is INTERNET SECURE FAILURE - ErrorClockWrong ERROR. This means one or several errors have been found in the certificate Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) sent by the server. The date / time on your computer is too different from the date / time of the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates used by the Windows Update site. To resolve this problem, correct the date / time and / or time zone information.

This article should be useful for this error.

http://www.zolved.com/Synapse/view_content/28011/Error_MessageWindows_could_not_search_for_new_updates_Code

If the date and time are correct on your computer, then I turn off all anti-virus and 3rd-party anti-virus and check if you can get windows update works correctly.

Please post again and I would like to know if this article helped with your question or if you need assistance.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

  • HP Deskjet 2050 J510a: Windows cannot update 10 driver

    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and found that my printer is out of print correctly. I'm trying to update the drivers, however, when I try and uninstall the old drivers, I get a message saying that the software cannot be installed on XP, Vista and Windows 7.

    If I try to install the new drivers anyway (I use "DJ2050_J510_1313 - 1.exe" (whose Web site claims is compatible with Windows 10), I get the same error.)

    Any ideas how I'm supposed to install the latest drivers for this product?

    Hi @geoffwiand @mweaver1.

    I'm currently downloading the software package for the Deskjet 2050 (file name: DJ2050_J510_1313 - 1.exe). Although I don't have the impression that is imparted to me, I was able to complete the installation of the software. I could not however, complete the installation of the product, but the software is installed without problem. In my view, the problem you are experiencing may have to do with the registry of the computer, or something else computer.

    I suggest running the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker. If you do not know how, you can use the following link for instructions: System File Checker: run sfc/scannow & analyze its logs in Windows 10 / 8 / 7.

    Once this is complete, please restart the computer and run printing HP and doctor Scan.  HP printing and doctor Scan is a free utility (tool) that allows to quickly resolve problems printing, scanning and connectivity, including but not limited to:

    • Connectivity:

      USB: Check that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product works properly.

      Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working properly.

    • Device Status Test: checks the errors of the device, such as paper, paper jams, stands transport and paper issues and provides instructions to resolve the error.

    • Driver: checks the driver missing or corrupt files.

      • Device Manager: check the problems in Device Manager that could prevent printing.

    • Device online: check if the product has been suspended or put in offline and then sets the State back in line if necessary.

    • Print queue: checks and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a newspaper for printing waiting to print).

    • Port Match: check the port settings for the HP product.

    • Device conflicts: check the conflicts with other drivers, such as the other brands of printers.

    • Ink issues: check the cartridges and the ink levels for issues that affect the print quality.

    • Print settings: check and adjust the print quality settings.

    • Test print: print a test page for the assessment of the print quality and provides options for cleaning and if necessary print head alignment.

    • Scan tests: check the scanning mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.

    Source: try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows

    If this does not resolve the problem, after back and let me know if there are all the symbols except the Green checkmarks and what they are next of course. The key is not always easy to find the key and the box are in the green circle. If however the recommended solutions solve the issue please click on accept as Solution on this post so that others can find what worked for you.

    • If you see only the Green checkmarks (), the tool did not find any problem.

    • If you see green sides (), the utility identified a problem and fix it automatically.

    Here are a few things to try.  First clean boot, and then try unistall\update iTunes.  If this does not help I suggest the creation of a user (administrative level) and then the try once logged in the new user profile.  Here are the links for the boot and the creation of a new user.  Also, I included a link to article Apple support dealing with the install\update iTunes issues.

    It is important to run an antispyware software whenever you use your computer. Software spyware and other potentially unwanted software can try to install on your computer at any time that connect you to the Internet. It can also infect your computer when you install some programs using a CD, DVD, or other removable media. Malicious or potentially unwanted software can also be programmed to run at unexpected times, not just when it is installed.

    Windows Defender alerts you when spyware or potentially unwanted software attempts to install or run on your computer. It also alerts you when programs attempt to change important Windows settings.

    When you use Windows Defender, it is important to have up-to-date definitions. Definitions are files that act like an ever-growing potential threat of software encyclopedia. Windows Defender uses definitions to determine if software that it detects software spyware or other potentially unwanted and then you software warn of potential risks. To help keep your definitions up to date, Windows Defender works with Windows Update to automatically install new definitions as they are released.

  • Inspiron 14 3000 3452 - 10 windows cannot update

    I can't install the upgrade of Windows 10 1511.  Not enough free space.

    I can't remove anything, just windows installed. I tried a USB removable drive extra, always without success.

    There is no way to do all that updates the MS Windows, why Dell would sell a system with only 32 GB installed?  There is no way to upgrade for the Inspiron with a MEM 32 Gb HDD.

    Has anyone been able to finish the upgrade of 1511?

    Thank you

    Joe

    I also had the same problem. My solution was to do a fresh install using the tool of media (MCT) of Microsoft. You will need to create the tool on a different PC (this 3452 14 has not enough space) after installation clean I have the latest version (1511) and 15 GB of free space on the MEM.

    You can find directions on how to do the clean install on the download page of Microsoft for the tool, but here's a quick rundown.

    Create the USB using MCT

    Insert into 14 3452 Dell

    Close completely portable with the inserted key

    Turn on laptop

    Press F12 "Boot devices" on the dell loading screen (you may need to click on delete all first to access this option) select USB

    Windows will install then. You will need to re - format the disk for installation during this process. Make sure that you save everything you can't replace or synchronize.

    Made mine with a connection high speed about 30 minutes to make. And as I said before that I now have more storage that I got out of the box.
