• How can I activate the installation "hide update" in Windows/Microsoft update

  Last week I was constantly asked to install an update for Windows XP SP3 (security for Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x 86 (KB2418241).) It was first installed in October 2010. I installed it 8 times since March 2, but continue to receive reminders. The ability to hide updates is absent from Windows/Microsoft update. How can I fix.

  I am happy to learn that they are all present.

• Screen of Microsoft Update crashes Windows XP mode

  I have Windows Virtual PC in Windows 7 Pro, and I test it with Windows XP Mode before I use it for Ubuntu Linux.

  In the test, I went through the normal routine with Windows XP Mode, installation of updates; but after the first activation of Windows Update, after which, I installed Microsoft Update, the update screen freezes for 9 to 10 minutes, the message «Check if your computer has the latest version of Windows Update software for use with the site...» " until he goes to the next screen, 'Welcome to Microsoft Update'.  I also noticed that, even though the download process seems normal, the installation process is exceptionally more time that I expect anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes for each of the bigger files.

  Is it a file in XP Mode which could trample the day opening screen, or is it one of my programs in Win7 that could be the cause (though I doubt it)?  I miss an ActiveX program or any program, by the way?  Or do I have too many?  Or should I simply rub the file in XP Mode, I installed and install a new one in its place, since I'm in the early stages of Windows Update?

  Someone directed me to KB2879017 Cumulative Update for Windows XP.  Once installed, it updates automatic galvanized WinXP.  Once I added KB898461, Internet Explorer 8, KB905474 and KB892130, I was able to get more updates via Windows/Microsoft Update.  The update process wouldn't properly unless I installed these files in the order that I posted here.  I had to load KB2879017 from a USB flash drive.  The rest came through automatic updates.

  I've upgraded to Windows 7 using a disc of Microsoft; Windows Update started downloading the updates.  Now it will not shut without doing it manually.  If there are 5 updates, it may hang on the update 4.  Then, after much cleaning in safe mode, etc, it will work perfectly, but hang in there 'shutting down '.  even if left overnight.

  You receive errors related to updates?

  1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.
  2. In the left pane, click view update history.
  3. Find an update for Windows that has failed to install, and then double-click the update to view more information.
     Updates that have failed to install will display failed under status, next to the name of update.
  4. In the Windows Update dialog box, next to the details of the error, review the error code for the update has failed.

  Follow the links in the Windows Update dialog box under more information or help and Support to resolve the problem, then try to reinstall updates by using Windows Update in Control Panel or by mail with the error code and maybe someone may be able to help others.

  barkingmadd,
  You say that the SFC has found corrupt files.  He did state to be able to correct or not?  If she couldn't fix the files, then you will need to install on-site to fix corrupted files.

  It does not all installed programs or any other data.

  HOWEVER, before attempting any such repair, you must make sure, you have a current backup of your system *. **

  Note: If your installation disc doesn't include SP1, you must uninstall it before proceeding with an update and you are updated to SP2or install. To remove the service pack, click: Start-> Control Panel-> programs-> see installed updates, select Service Pack for Microsoft Windows , and then click on Uninstall.

  Here are the instructions on how run and install on site:

  2. on the Install Windows page, click install now.

• Microsoft Update does not work the said tool fixit windows update component needs repair

  Just realize a long week of windows XP pro repair installation, overcome all sorts of problems with curtain at 34 minutes, motherboard drivers do not install it, do not read the files compressed on the CD XP Pro, then suspended from the activation screen (let me not log in or access the acvtivation screen), I bypassed it drank install IE8 then used the phone to activate XP Pro. Currently have Avira AV just rid of Avast and newly installed because it is not quite as good the latest VB100 test report.

  Anyway jumped along to get the updates of security (116) and all have failed. Microsoft fixit tool allowed to have a look at the problem and it failed. He said that the Windows component update should fix it.

  I am currently in safe mode with network.

  Very well.

  At this point, we'll keep the first rule of computers in mind (i.e., If it isn't broken, don't fix it) & leave well enough alone--at least for now. Good luck in the future.

• Impossible to get windows update or microsoft update to work after the factory restore

  I just restored my computer laptop runnung xp sp2 to factory settings and now I cannont get windows update to function (0x8024400A error code) and I can not update microsoft to work (error code 0 x 80240036).  I can access the internet, navigate, dl files etc. just can't get windows updates.  I disabled the firewall and antivirus still cannot operate.  Tried to fix it, SP3, but must for this and I can't seem to install manually.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

  Okay, roll up your sleeves! :-)

  (For best results, download all the Setup files below before you restore your computer to its factory settings. Files can be downloaded or copied to a USB flash drive).
  
  Preliminary work:

  Download the installation files (only if necessary!) SP2, SP3, IE8 and Avira Antivirus (beforehand). I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of four files:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2) (Note: you don't need to install SP2 if your home is already SP2 or SP1 even.)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

  (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

  http://www.Avira.com/en/Avira-Free-Antivirus (for FREE of Avira version)

  1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

  2. turn your PC to its factory settings.

  3. remove the PC-Cillin was COMPLETELY (see above).

  4. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

  Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

  Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

  5 install SP2 (only if necessary!). Restart TWICE.

  6. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

  6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

  8. install anti-virus software.

  (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

  9 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

  Start | Control Panel | Security Center

  (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

  10 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

  11. reactivate the automatic updates.

• My Windows 10 computer crashed, and all applications have been lost.  I'm about to re - install LR6 (standalone, no CC).  I think that both facilities are allowed.  Can I get the meter re - assign once my reinstalling?  Thank you.  Jim

  Hello, my Windows 10 computer crashed, and I had to start again, allow a reinstallation of the operating system complete with all my apps being deleted from the machine.  One of these applications was LR6 (independent, no CC).  In my view, LR6 allows two installations of the software by license, so I am writing to ask that the 'meter' installation reset 'one' when I'm done with this installation.    I would never need the re-install second, but given the instability of the operating system, it may be necessary... Thank you.

• The Windows XP Explorer crash when checking the USB SD OEM-builtin card reader properties

  Hello, people.

  It's my only known PC malfunction, and initially, it worked without problem. The question began at a time not very long before a recent update failure. The problem is related to the card reader SD OEM-builtin of the Pavilion. Windows XP is unable to connect to this player when my 4 GB SDHC card is slipped into the SD card reader, an error box quote as 'due to an error IO peripheral."  and somehow this blocks / crashes Windows explore (IE no.not) with the 4 GB card in drive F:-SD reader.  But Windows and the reader work very well when my 32 MB SDHC card reading. Both the 4 GB and 32 MB cards work fine in my Canon Power Shot and I can download the contents of the card of 4 GB (JPEG format) via a mini-USB cable for the camera as always, but burning the battery juice in the batteries in the camera. I'd rather take the camera SDHC card and empty its JPEG files in the SD drive. I don't think that it is able, barely used player until three or four months ago. I'll also post this question to the Canon forum and maybe HP forum, but I would like to have some ideas as well on the side of Windows.

  It occurs to me, I don't know how many contacts on the card is active in dealing with the 32 MB. I expect that the 4 GB card should use almost all of the pins; I was wondering if a unused pin in size of 32 MB can be failed do contact and this could corrupt the ease of use of the 4 GB card.

  FYI - my system is HP Pavilion a1020n, five years old. It includes the processor Intel P4 CPU, has 130 GB free on the system partition, and has been upgraded from two years to 2 GB RAM DDR2 PC2 - 4200. OS is Win XP Professional x 86 SP3 with .net all Frameworks 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4 customer and extended 4, IE 8.00.6001.18702, most Silverlight 4.0.50917.0 to patched. All the .NET Frameworks are patched, except that the last .NET two patches for the version 2.0 and 3.5, KB2418241 and KB2416473, both failed several trying to install, and I'm looking for help with that in a posted question, but if you think of these malf are linked, please let me know.

  Any suggestions on Win Explorer and the card 4 GB SDHC, anybody?

  It's my only known PC malfunction...

• Windows 7 update - slow download, svchost high CPU usage

  I have a problem downloading by using the Windows Update application. This problem started after January 2016.  In the past, the request of update seems to work without the use of the svchost high CPU and with a reasonable download time.  There is usually a delay until the download has started, but then they ended quickly.

  I have 4 computers: 3 running Windows 7 Pro (CPU - Intel dual, i5 & i7) and 1 running Windows 7 Home (Intel i3).  If the problem is not related to the CPU hardware as best I can tell.

  My update setting is 'check for updates but let me download and install ".

  The Windows Update process includes 3 steps:
  1. identify the important and recommended updates for your computer.
  2. the selection and download updates.
  3. the creation of the restore point and of the installation, the selected updates.

  My problem is step 2, download the selected updates.  This happens on all 4 systems, and I do not expect a download to be this CPU load.  The download time is too long on all systems 4.

  My online search for answers has been frustrating, but several posts said search for viruses, malware and Trojans.  I ran Malwarebytes (free), Windows Defender, Norton Security and ESET (online) on systems and no objects are found.

  My most recent experience involved my Lenovo 7847 system (Intel dual core). Monday, May 23, I checked the updates and there were 15 updates important and 3 optional updates listed.

  After reviewing the updates, I chose the 15 updates and started the download process.  The svchost.exe that is associated with the update happened to 45-60% CPU usage, update status showed no size or % finished and the task manager - network or explore the process did not show any activity download for a long time.

  Finally, after about an hour, the update showed the download size and the % downloaded.  Svchost usage remains high during the time of whole download.  Once the download is complete, the restore point was created and updates have been installed, who also took some time (but it would be I/O CPU & Drive dependent).

  The download status has not changed during most of the time that the download process is running.  The Task Manager and process explore both show very little network activity up to that very near the end of the download procedure. There is therefore no real indication that the process is blocked or just turn very slowly.   It almost seems that the Microsoft servers are overloaded, they delay the download for some reason, or the process svchost and sub-process fail to create good handshake with the server for download.

  My Questions:

  1. Why is svchost usage so high when nothing seems to happen?
  2. Why does take an hour or more to download the updates?  These aren't the huge file sizes, and this attempt to update was almost 2 weeks after Patch Tuesday, then Microsoft servers should not be overloaded.
  3. Why is the situation unchanged for so long during the download process?
  4. most important, what can I do to change this situation?
   
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  My 'update problem' seems to have changed.  Checking updates takes a lot of CPU resources and a lot of time.

  We will leave well enough alone for now. [It took 3-4 hours for MU download/install updates of June on my Win7 boxes].

  But please bookmark this thread. If the behavior persists in July - and especially in August, respond to this thread instead of starting a new. Good luck!

• Microsoft update has deleted all my files

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version that came preinstalled when you buy it and that would have been reinstalled, but invalid, when you reinstalled Windows)?

• (Windows 2000) Error #0x80072EFE when you try to run Windows/Microsoft Update

  Hello world. I hope you don't mind offering support for a Windows 2000 based platform here, (I don't think Windows Update deferred much, if at all between the two operating systems)

  In any case, all of a sudden, I get error 0x80072EFE in Windows Update all of a sudden. I tried several troubleshooting steps, delete the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to just reboot my computer. Nothing seems to work, and I hope someone has a step that will be.
