Windows update 7.6.7600.256 agent repeatedly fails, turns off automatically updates then crashes on a loop, between insatll and updates

the Windows update for vista 7.6.7600.256 agent attempted to repeatedly update fails.  I used the fix it app and how many resources can find your site, on the chance.

Frustrated, please help.  I go to the update and it says to install the new agent to update so, I can receive the updates, close the window then after 30-40 minutes updates automated message disabled, so turn it back on and still does not work.  Several times after I click on install new update agent he schecks for new updates and I have a backward loop to the installation.

Help, please!

Thank you

Hi Larrygrybos,

Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

Method 1: You can try to manually download the Windows update client according to the edition of the operating system 32 or 64-bit:

32-BIT downloads: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=178959

64-BIT downloads: http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=178960  

You can also see the following article for more information:

Method 2: I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and try to install the update.

You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Windows Firewall turns off automatically.

    Windows Firewall turns off automatically at startup, sometimes. I use Trend Micro Internet Security and Windows Security Center. They both have a firewall. (1) I always here you can only have one firewall at the time, is why that Windows Firewall turns off sometimes? (2) if so, why only sometimes? (I don't have Windows OneCare.) (3) should I manually turn off the Windows Firewall and just use the Trend Micro firewall? (4) that I will protect? Please answer 4 questions.

    I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my question. I'm not asking for possibly a recommendation on what AV I have to use. I know not if I have to choose only one I'll choose Trend Micro. I wanted to ask what is the right way to turn off the Windows Firewall and make sure it stays off. When I open the Windows Security Center it shows firewall as YOU, but she does not have an option to OFF.

  • TURN OFF automatic updating for printer in Windows 7

    Best regards

    I'm a tech support person, I have a client with a Cap HP 1315, in Italy.

    I want to DISABLE the automatic updates functionality check, can someone help me to do this?

    Operating system is Windows 7.

    My client doesn't want automatic updates, prefer to check the updates manually. I agree that

    This function should be optional. It should be easy to check in the properties or somewhere in

    Put this on or turned off, but after a long look at the awkward interface for the printer and elsewhere in the operating system

    I can't find a way to see this feature and turn it off.

  • Cannot turn off automatic updates and the Error Message on Loadup and Peridoically subsequently

    The following error message appears when the computer starts up, when I click on "check for updates", when I try to turn off the automatic updates in the preferences and at random times.  In the preferences, more precisely, I am able to choose the area that must go out looking for updates, but when I try to save the setup I get this exact error message.

    -----------------------------

    AdobeARM.exe

    The procedure entry point CreateProcessWithTokenW is not found in the library of Hotlinks ADVAPI32. DLL.

    -----------------------------

    The computer is an old laptop running Windows XP.  I think that it's Windows XP is a key reason why the error occurs.  That said I can't replace the laptop right now so I would turn off rather updated.  I've updated to the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe Web site.  The new version added a 4th checkbox in the section to turn off the automatic updates, but I always get the same exact error message.

    Is there a hidden Windows Settings folder I have can be directed to Adobe Reader?  A file where I can change the automatic updates option from 1 to 0 to turn it off?  Because the software does not work.

    Please, create the following registry key:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown]

    "bUpdater" = DWORD: 00000000

    In addition, you can run msconfig (via the Win + R), go to the Startup tab and deselct point of 'Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager' (which corresponds to the process AdobeARM.exe), press on apply and restart your machine.

    Hi Snyder22,

    I understand how frustrating it can be to see ongoing ads on your computer. I have an article for you with information about the stop of this behavior:

    Stop the cAds in Safari - Apple Support

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203987

    The behavior you describe can be better attributed to adware, referred to in this section of the article mentioned above:

    If you could have the adware installed on your Mac.

    If the pop-ups still on your Mac, you might inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (advertising-taking software supported). Some software that you download from some third-party download sites can include the software you want and the adware.

    If you think you have Adware on your Mac, update to the latest version of OS X El Capitan. If your Mac already has the latest version of El Capitan, restart it. El Capitan removes adware only when connecting. If you still see the advertising on your Mac, Contact Apple.

    Be vigilant and thank you for visiting the communities of Apple Support.
