• Windows 8 "license is invalid" after Windows updates (help please!)

  Hello

  I have a C540 all in one (no load) running Windows 8 and noticed yesterday that Windows updates have been failure for months then tried to run all the updates so that I can update to 8.1 (and, possibly, 10). At that time (and since purchase - I'm the original purchaser) Windows 8 has been activated very well.

  There were various failures and reversions of updates and now Windows does not recognize the Activation Code. The key is material, it shows that I have a key in the registry, but when I entered in the service of Activation of Windows I get the error:

  The following error occurred while trying to use the product key:

  Code:
  0xC004F01F

  Description:
  The Software Licensing Service determined that the license is not valid.

  Microsoft helpfully told me this isn't their problem because it is an OEM license (even if the only thing I've done is apply the updates of Windows) and I need to buy a key to sales at retail. Lenovo speaks for me because I'm out of warranty.

  Someone at - it ideas or experience or I'll just have to hit this PC with a massive hammer and not buy Lenovo or authorized OEM PCs again?

  Thanks in advance!

  I think I have a half today to answer my own question.

  Today (without any changes made to anything) the key to Activation of Windows 8 was suddenly recognized and valid again. Now install each windows update individually also works.

  I think that it is possible, but there is an intermittent hardware fault kind on the C540 causing quite different material for the MS license not to recognize the configuration (and think that the license is not valid for the PC), whatever it is not permanent.

  Then - in terms of correction... Well I don't have - he went just by itself and I guess he'll be back one day...

  However, Vista was preinstalled on my laptop and obviously I don't have the disk. Anyone knows where I can get hold of it or have the same problem with the similar updates. I tried to disable my antivirus, firewall, antispyware drive controls, clean ups etc and nothing.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

• How to restore Windows Updates?

  RE this post, automatic updates of Windows 7 have broken my development environment and cost me some valuable development time!

  Friday afternoon, windows update did some updates during my lunch break, after which I was unable to debug applications at all.  This seems to be a known issue.

  Is it possible to make back, or do I have to re - install the OS/IDE from scratch and turn off the automatic updates permanently?

  Start | Control Panel | System maintenance and (if you use Classic view, skip this step)| Programs & features | Installed updates

  Updates listed in installed updates must be installable.

  Uninstalled updates to resettlement is another matter.

• Cannot print on a Brother printer after Windows Update

  We share the same brother MFC-8660DN on a network (Win XP x 4 & Win 2008 Server x 1), everything was fine until yesterday (16/09/10). 2 XP computers cannot print (Status: printing error) just after the recent update of windows installation (windows auto update has been set for each week). When we tried to print to the brother printer, he would be stuck in queue for a minute and a bubble pop up "document cannot be printed." 2 computers work fine otherwise. Everything works normoally and can be printed to another printer like Canon. (PS: I tried to uninstall and reinstall the brother printer driver, but no luck the question of setting)

  On the other hand, the other 2 XP did not have an update, and so they can't always print on the Brother printer. Also, Win 2008 server doing a windows update auto but print very well so.

  Therefore, I believe that the update of windows XP must have something to do with the printing error. Is there a fix or update? Alternatively, we can uninstall the recent windows update (only one?) to solve this problem? I'm not sophisticated OS, do not know what could be uninstalled. Help, please!

  I received a call from a client 2010-Sep-16 that they could no longer print
  on a network printer from any workstation.

  Workstations have Vista Business 32 and have been updated morning of September 16.

  The server is Server2003 & printing it still worked well.

  Printers using IP ports very well for more than 2 years.
  Fix was to use instead of the intellectual property & create ports with the full share name.
  
  The IP address of the printer had not changed AND
  I couldn't always navigate with IE8 (using IP address)
  printer see printer configuration data

  Workstations are Server 2003 domain

  This trick of name full-fledged was how I had to put in place
  Vista Home Premium workstations
  to use network printers in home networks.

  Why Vista Business "updated" settings for Home Premium?
  Is this a permanent 'update '?

  Why no matter what version of VISTA do this?
  Windows 7 has the same problem?

  With Vista Business 32 (short-term)? solution was to change the port to a local port with full sharing of the printer name

• Windows Update, interfering with the driver installed?

  New Dell with Windows 7 64 bit.  Worked well for a while.  But as I continued to install my programs and devices, at any given time, the NIC stop working.  Indication if there is no driver installed.  All - tried reinstalling Dell disk, new download from the Realtek site, other corrections after discussion with the Dell technician.  Without success until I fact a "Reinstall upgrade' to Win 7 from the disk.  Fixed.

  Now, the same thing happened with my Kodak 5300 USB all-in-one printer.  He was 'almost' fine - double-sided wasn't working.  Downloaded and installed the most recent driver from Kodak.  No solution, but at least it still, worked until yesterday.  Does not print at all and, as the situation of NIC, indication was driver problem.  Has gone through the same process but each time that Setup returns 'driver installation failed. "

  Thought I'd check Windows Update.  There, listed under optional updates, were drivers for the NETWORK card and the printer. (The update of NIC was sitting there, I guess that for some time.)  I thought 'Great' and them selected for installation.  Same thing: installation failed.  The Windows Update window provides error 800F020B code «»

  I guess that I can fix it by doing a reinstall of Windows again - but what a pain!  Because it happened twice in a month, I think that there must be a better way!

  I'm puzzled as to why the map updates NETWORK and printer published in Updater.  Maybe because when I was trying to pilot facilities, it automatically checks for the latest files to install?  Then download them via updater?

  Anyway, if anyone can help...

  Thanks for the tips.  The only way I could get the printer even be recognized has been once again to do an upgrade (repair) re - install Windows 7.  Then ran the original install disc for the printer, who got on the list of devices, but it wouldn't work.  So re-directed the installation of Kodak web page was updated, and this time it worked!  So far so good.  I am still confused as to why the update of Windows watch downloads of optional upgrade for both devices (printer and NIC) I had trouble with.  Everything is working now, so I'm not going to run files in the update.  BTW, I was able to 'hide' these updates, but not remove them.  Hide is OK, but it seems that there should be a way to permanently delete.

  Thanks again.

  can receive email, but not able to send after the recent ('important') updates of windows have been installed.

• Problems with Windows Update on Vista SP1 32 - bit Error: 0x8007000D

  Two updates have been failing install for me for several weeks. I finally decided to try to understand what is happening, and I'm stumped at this point.

  The updates are:
  Update cumulative security for Internet Explorer for Windows Vista (KB969897)
  Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista

  These two with an error code of 0x8007000D

  I tried almost everything I can think of, scanned for virus/malware, scandisk, verification of the SFC, several difficulty different sound of Microsoft, I even cleared out / reset Windows Update with several different methods and has run the system preparation tool.

  Then, I tried to install Vista Service Pack 2, perhaps thinking that might help - would not install either.

  Success!

  I finally understood what was going on. This is a damaged registry entry.

  The registry entry for the key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component based Servicing\ComponentDetect\x86_microsoft-windows-ie-setup-support_31bf3856ad364e35_0.0.0.0_none_e9aaaad1a6a385a4

  content, which was supposed to be a string value entry for:
  Package_1_for_KB944533 ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ x 86 ~ ~ 6.0.1.1.944533 - 4_RTM_neutral_GDR

  Unfortunately, it was not of type "REG_SZ" but altered with a type of
  0 x 40000001, which was identified as a binary key.

  I could not initially remove/change the key, therefore, found some instructions on how to reset the permissions on your registry using a Microsoft tool called: subinacl

  After the race I could rename the bad registry entry and add it back in manually, by giving the appropriate string value.

  Now, I was able to install IE8, so I think everything is resolved. Going to update to Service Pack 2 for Vista soon.

• Cannot install windows updates and also msconfig, regedit, Task Manager won't open?

  Hello

  I use windows xp professional sp3.

  Nothing happens when I try to run msconfig, regedit, Task Manager, etc.. They don't open even in Safe Mode.

  Apart from that, windows update is not able to install updates and repeatedly tries to install the same updates again and again and fails permanently.

  Sometimes, when I try to run some .exe files, I get an error message... 'not a win32 application valid', even if its a win32 version.

  The boot.ini file is missing. I've already replaced the missing hosts files.

  Could someone help me please?

• Pavilion x 2 N005TU: ELAN touchpad does not work after windows update 10

  Hi, I've just updated my Pavilionx2 N005TU for windows 10 yesterday. After update, tochpad is not working and keep turn off every time, even I allow him - he'll be disenabled after closing. And I have to activate whenever I turn on my laptop. You have a permanent solution for this? Thank you.

  PS. I already checked for the new update of device - but no update to touchpad so far.

  Hi Amm_S04, as you know windows 10 has just come out, so it will take time for all drivers (including touchpad drivers) to get the new updated version supporting this new windows. For now you can also check here http://support.hp.com/us-en drivers

  Although I would advice you to wait and update the driver through windows update as soon as it is available.

• Windows Update suspended with processor high for a long time

  Windows Vista has been suspended for long periods with high CPU usage. The process is that the windows update service. In my view, there are tasks of Windows 7, etc. Why is there none for Vista? Vista is supported for updates of security until next year, I think, but how can put you them in if Windows Update does not work?

  Hi MrVista888:

  Posted June 16, 2016 wire m #l's updates does not, he has been looking for updates for hoursstep by step instructions:

  ""Note that this is only a temporary workaround and a new version of Win32K.sys will likely be displayed on the page Web of the Dalai next month which will need to be installed before you run your July 2016 Patch Tuesday updates.".

  Have you checked page Web of Dalai to http://wu.krelay.de/en/ on July 12, 2016 before attempting to install your July 2016 Patch Tuesday updates?  I installed Win32K.sys recommended update this month above KB3168965 (MS16-090: Description of the update of security for Windows kernel-mode drivers: 12 July 2016) before running Windows Update and that seemed to avoid another blockade of 'check for updates...' on my Vista 32 bit machine.

  I have Windows automatic updates disabled on a permanent basis these days ([Windows Update |]) Change the settings | Important updates | Never search for updates (not recommended)] so if you re-activated automatic updates of Windows, you will need to follow step # 1 of these instructions step by step to put an end to any Windows Update session running in the background (i.e., disable Windows automatic updates and re-booting) before installing the package of standalone update (.msu file) to KB3168965.

• My Windows Vista is not all important security updates. Error message that says that one or more components of Windows Update are configured incorrectly.

  I have tried to trouble IT 50202, but which failed due to the error 2678!  Support center has no solution.  Microsoft site does not have its own error code 2678.  Ridiculous.

  This was a huge waste of time and effort because he tries and fails to reinstall everytime I stop.

  RECAP:

  • You bought the computer in January 2009;
  • The computer came with a preinstalled free McAfee;
  • A McAfee application was permanently installed until you have installed Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) on 23 August 2012;
  • You first met the problems associated with malware (according to MBAM) in June 2010, the first year of your McAfee subscription.
  • You have problems with Windows Update (MSE) on October 12, 2013, more than a year after you have installed MSE;
  • You have improved the pre-installed McAfee free trial to the full version rather than uninstall the free trialware, running the tool to remove McAfee & then make a clean installation of the paid version.
  • You have uninstalled the McAfee application until you have installed MSE but you don't not download/run the removal tool from McAfee before installing MSE.

  MY HUMBLE OPINION...

  • It was too late for the "come to the rescue" McAfee removal tool here.
  • There is a possibility, but remote, you see the effects of an infection for a long time of a certain type (because MSE has not been installed correctly & so never worked properly due to 'remains' of McAfee).
  • The computer must be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Then what are you doing now?

  OPTION A: You can get Microsoft-sponsored Premium (i.e., paid) supported by the Office of response-online http://answerdesk.microsoftstore.com [1]

  OPTION B (highly recommended): see the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to-the-letter & in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

  If you need additional help with the clean install, please start your own new thread in this forum & advice: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

  If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a 'BigBoxStore' or Geek Squad!) computer repair shop & let them do the work.

  OPTION C: Bite the bullet & buy a new computer (Win7).

  • If you want to transfer your personal data to the new computer, backup data from one or more DVDs (no shine). Perform analyses considered at least two 2 online (e.g., ESET;) Kaspersky; Bit Defender) of the DVD (s) before you transfer the data to the new computer.

  Wish I had better news for you, Roz.  Good luck!  On & off...
