Windows Update always looking for updates

Hello!

I hope I can get assistance from the Microsoft Community - because my attempts to solve this problem have failed.

I'm on a desktop HP running Windows 7 SP1. I was not able to update my computer since July 2015. I understand it takes a bit to search for updates, it's been so long, but I let it run for 24 hours before with no luck.

I've tried several things: ensure that I have Internet Explorer installed, change background Intellegence on and automatic Services, research on internet of different solutions, as if it was my home network (which it was not, because my laptop HP with Windows 7 SP 1 searched and installed updated fine, same WITH the KBs downloaded and added icons for Windows 10 upgrade).

I ran the Windows Update Agent FixIt, and had some time trying to solve an error - finally corrected the error and it still isn't doing anything for hours. (So total, the FixIt Agent returns without error now.)

Please help save me some valuable time and mental health in guiding me in the right direction of how I might solve this problem. I incline strongly technologically and can probably understand instructions or steps that I give myself, I don't know what to do anymore.

Please try with the installation of the four edits listed here:

In addition, KB3138612, the latest version of windows update client.

Best regards, VZ

I had to nuke windows 8 because it is on a Dell laptop and Dell does not include a restore CD there is more no recovery partition. Dealing with Dell support was 3 hours to be spent around people who don't know what they are doing. Now, I installed Windows 7, it has installed service pack 1, but since I did that I couldn't get it to find the updates, it simply maintains check... This happened 2 days of verification so that does not work... Help!

  • Can I put windows xp starter looking for win7 type file search

    In win7 you just put the name of the song at the top when you open the file with over 25,000 songs which is optimal.

    My laptop (1 GB ram) running windows xp starter edition and when I open my file of the song, the search button has nowhere to
    write the name of the song. You must go through the research of your time on the left with much use of the mouse.
    I have an update download available.

  • new tab load always looking for safe norton.

    whenever I click on the + sign to open a new tab, I get automatically connected to search for Norton Safe.

    What would you like to see on your "new tab"?

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel. If the status is 'locked' we'll need to help you investigate a configuration file "automatic".

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: command + shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown.

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder).

    Hello world

    I'm a big computer noob and I don't know much about it that's why I will ask my questions here, to get help from people who do not know how to solve this problem. So please try to explain it very easily so I can understand you.

    Let's head on the problem; Sometimes my computer completely random stops and restarts immediately after that it stops. It is not a normal shutdown, but it's as if I pressed the button stop or restart button, it stops immediately. To this problem in the past, but well, months when I started my PC upward once again, everything was going well, then I thought it was OK to use my PC with that bit of inconvenience. But yesterday my PC did the same thing but when I clicked on "Start windows normally" it appeared a blue screen which lasts only 0.5 seconds and disappears after it restarts my computer again. Then when I tried to start windows with recoveryoptions it gives me, after windows files have been loaded, another blue screen that doesn't go away until I have shut myself. I tried to boot my PC with a windows CD, but when I did it wat windows departure after loading files and then showed a blue screen.

    Information:

    -Windows 7

    -Asrock H61M-GS is the first thing with a menu of options when I start my PC.

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

    A picture is to make it more clear

     <-- first="" i="" see="" when="" starting="">

    It is one of the blue screens, I was yesterday. But he continues to change when I do something different. Thus, the blue screens are not the same and error codes keep starting with 0x000000 but the last 2 digits change sometimes.

    I really hope that someone can help me... And if you're Dutch like me you can answer in Dutch... Would be easier for me to understand :D

    Sincerely,

    Etienne KT

    Problem solved. Taken from the video card of the computer and back in and it worked.

  • Make Windows 8 stop looking for wireless networks

    On my PC Win 8, the list of available WiFi networks is huge. I don't want to see all the networks of my neighbors in my list. How can I make my display manually configured networks single machine?

    A Microsoft representative published in another conversation that you can do so by disabling the service of automatic wireless configuration of service within the management of the computer.

    You can reach the Services Control Panel a few ways, but a quick option here:

    1) press Windows + R to display the race

    (2) type services.msc , and then click OK.

    (3) find the automatic wireless configuration service in the list and right-click/Properties.

    (4) to stop this service, set the startup type to "manual" or "disabled".

    You can always disable this back on, so it's a safe operation.

    After that, you should be able to manually create a WiFi network essentially the same way as you would in Windows Vista or 7.
