• Update Windows says that my updates failed, but the list of updates shows them as a success

  Receipt of notice of updates of Windows. I opened the Control Panel of configuration/Windows Update screen and there was six recommended updates Important and two optional. I selected the six plus one option for Windows Live Add-in update. I installed updates and restarted my system. I checked the status of the installation of the system by opening the Control Panel of configuration/Windows Update screen. It showed that my updates failed, but when I click view update history, each of the update Important/recommended six succeeded. It there was no indication whether the Office Live Add-in was successful or not. Should I believe that the screen Control Panel of configuration/Windows Update that says my updates failed or should I believe the view update history which shows updates as a success.

• 7sp1 Windows update fails to find updates on 16 April

  Since MS began distributing Windows 10 via the update service, the download section to update on my windows 7sp1 platforms has played like a slug taking refuge on a wet Sunday.  I have 2x64bit and 1x32bit system, systems every few years.  The configuration is to check the updates but let me choose whether to download and install.  Why that - too many items is bloat: why in Australia should I language or monetary fixes for afghanistan? I use no programs? and following.  Those I choose is the important/critical ones just for windows.

  So far, the available updates are identified easily on and patch Tuesday and - since July 2015 – I have become used to / upset the performance of slow download of updates.  I have even delayed update of several days checking to avoid the crowd on that day.  So many users have complained of the it - on the web and quiet fumers x 10 who - that MS do NOT know: it is assumed that this is now what they want their company and product image major is.  Admittedly, this is not what MS committed to during the sale of the operating system for good money we paid for it.

  But this month, Apr16, while updates on 64-bit platforms have been slow, as usual, the 32-bit platform could not - even identify that the updates are available 3 days after the release of the patch.  The updates Panel showed that the date of the last audit is the patch tuesday itself, no update is available at this time.  The PC has been used every day since then.  The result for the 64 bits of the PC it takes between 15 to 20 items to install.  But the machine has served it powered, sitting in the audit for the screen with the green bar slip updates for hours.  Power off to leave the House, turn and repeat.  3 times in total.  When I gave up and decided to make another complaint, this is always the case

  So my question is

  is why windows update now - 3 days after the release of patch - not yet able to identify the updates required for a 32-bit platform?

• Windows Vista 64 not updated since September 2009! Error. 80070424

  Recently, the research on different forums on the web that this one to try to solve the problem. Can't say I've found a lot of useful information. I tried a number of things like turn off some windows services, a windows program fixit and something to do with the BITS or something and nothing seems to work. I even tried to find the files needed to install manually and no chance and whenever I think I find a link on this maze of a Web site that looks like it could hold the key need you for this page which shows you just a picture of the start menu and the cursor during the update of windows. Not frickin useful! Just see a link to the left of the screen here leading to a thread with someone who has a similar problem and the adviser said he had to see the last 50 lines of the windowsupdate log to know what he is treated so here is mine.

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

• Error 0 x 80040609 during the installation of Windows Live Essentials 2011 update

  Original title: update Windows guard default error 0 x 80040609

  I came across this problem in the past, in this case, I was instructed on how to remove Windows Update and then reinstall it. Help

  Windows Update guard invites me to install windows live essentials 2011 updated, then fails and re - install the original.

  You can find support in this forum ONLY for the installing/uninstalling/upgrading to Windows Live Essentials 2011: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/wlinstall

  You can install/upgrade to Windows Live Essentials 2011 manually via http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/essentials-home

• Error 0 x 80040609 FAILS on the update of Messenger

  Problem IS when you try to update Live Essentials 2011 it fails on the update COMPLETE and ALREADY INSTALLED options. Error 0 x 80040609 Messenger, Mail, photo gallery and Movie Maker, Writer. Tried many times and have contacted Microsoft before experts but is unresponsive. He goes so far then stops and restores to the original. Stops on Messenger. Download a program before that was supposed to tell you something, but it would not download this last time I tried. Without contact of experts to fix or tell me what to do. Assistance on the Forum is somewhat confusing, but one thing he says is to REMOVE the Messenger folder - seems a little extreme and won't mean I'm losing what data/information that is in there.
