Windows Update crashes
Running Windows 7 Pro (x 64)
When I try to open Windows Update in Control Panel, it will not open. A "flag" Windows Update window will appear in my taskbar, but clicking just above brings the control panel.
I was able to open Windows Update before I tried some things to fix this (edit: when I was able to open Windows before Update, it would freeze always upward after I clicked the button to install the updates - the rest of the system would be, but the Windows Update window was insensitive). What I did was run services.msc and tried to place the automatic Windows Update service (delayed) automatic - this change does not appear to have taken, however, as it is always set to automatic (delayed). I also tried to stop the service, but that has expired.
The BITS service correspond to the following description:
Any help would be appreciated. EDIT: actually, maybe it is not frozen - instead, it's now fair to really take a long time to open, and each selection (like click to get information on the updates to install) takes more than 30 seconds or more. I'll try to update again and wait to see if anything changes. Also, I checked the history of update. The last update must be installed with success was the definition update Windows Defender (KB915597) 24/06/2010. All since then (and slightly before this date) failed. I can't give more details on what is the system may have changed because, apparently, the problem started months ago, and also because this is my girlfriend's computer; She did not notice that there was a problem until now. EDIT: OK, he supposedly started updated, but after the download/install progress window opens, it now seems to be frozen - it does not (the window cannot be moved, and the progress indicator is not animated) and downloaded/installed is stuck at 0 kb total/0% after several minutes. EDIT: I clicked back to the update of Windows and, for a while, the progress indicator was lively, but then he stopped again. Progress are still stuck at 0 kb/0%. I agree with my colleague MowGreen.

Here's the same brand, model and size as the pair currently installed (obviously). (Sticks alternate according to the specifications of the card from my mother) After you have installed the new RAM and the computer starts up, it freezes within about 30 seconds of connection. Before installing the new sticks, I had no problem whatsoever. My first thought is that I sit the RAM properly, then I go and reinstall it. I start, and the same thing happens. So obviously this RAM must be bad, right? When I take out news, not gel. Ah, but when I remove the OLD stuff and use new instead, I ALSO no gel. So maybe it is not the RAM. Then I reboot in safe mode. No gel. Interesting. I opened the window 'System' and it says "memory (RAM) installed: 4.00 GB ', which is correct." I opened CPU - Z, and it reports also 4 GB of memory. I run a few hours and have no problems whatsoever. So I say to myself, there must be either a Windows service or a 3rd party service is causing the issue and not the new RAM. I disable all services of 3rd parties and restart in normal mode. It freezes. OK, so maybe (though unlikely) I have a virus any (I say probably not because I have to) run the module additional firefox NoScript, and set to block all flash, javascript, xss, iframes, etc. - in other words, only allow to my whitelist and B) I have Windows Firewall and running McAffee and updated.). But I decided to first try Windows services for the hell of it. So I enable only the services that start in safe mode as my reference, disabling the rest via services.msc. I start normally and not gel. Great, then maybe it is a Windows service. I start which allows one service after another without any problem. I get to the bottom of the list and select the Windows Update service. Within literally 10 seconds my computer crashes. Large. As a validation test, I put all services back to the base line of safe mode and only allow Windows Update. I start normally, and again once it freezes. Another test of validation, I start with all normal, but disable Windows Update. Do not freeze. I'm going to start Windows Update. Yet once, it freezes for about 10 seconds. So clearly something is in place. As a third and final sanity check, I remove the new RAM and run a Windows Update. He finds a few optional updates, but not critical. My system is up2date. My only attempt to solve this problem so far was to backup all Windows Update DLLs (C:\windows\system32\wu*.dll, although I don't know if these are good) and do a scan sfc to replace them with copies of 'good '. It did not work. So my question is: Why cares Windows Update that I have 4 GB of memory installed? Thank you Jon 1. I 'upgraded' from the RC of Windows 7 x 64 for Win 7 x 64 Home Premium. 2. I use McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i, DAT version 6060, Scan Engine 5400.1158 3 No. 4. No, I put together this computer myself. ______________________ To answer my previous posts: I think the USB storage is a separate issue. And. I think I * may * have solved the problem of origin with one or more of the following (don't know who): I had WU for 20 minutes from writing this post without a freeze, so we'll see.

Visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think. Windows Update crashes frequently; requires restart I run Windows Update a bit now and then to stay up to date. However, WU was strange behavior for a while (months): sometimes it freezes with the window simply stay white and the cursor being the circle of waiting and sometimes it crashes when you click on the updates button control (once again the window is all just white). When this happens, I have to restart Windows - otherwise, I can't WU to work. The problem is that there is no error message and nothing in the newspapers - WU just freezes. I installed all the updates and keep my computer clean by regularly running anti-spyware and antivirus. This problem has existed for a few months now and I was not able to identify if I installed an update etc that might have caused this. I run Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, as an upgrade of Windows Vista Business. The problem WU is the only problem that I have. Any thoughts? Thank you!

I understand that you are having problems after that a Windows Update could not be installed correctly. I recommend that you use the Windows System Restore feature and restore your system to a point in time before that you did the update that caused the problem. Before you do the restore, I would recommend that save us your personal files. You can do this by following the HP support document: backup of files (Windows 8). This document will guide you in the backup process. I advise do you it just in case, but the Windows restore feature should not affect personal files. Now that you have your saved personal files, we can make the Windows system restore. You can see how to do this by following the HP support document: use Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8). This document will guide you in the process of restoration. Be warned applications or settings that you have changed by the date that you choose will need to be redone or reinstalled. I think that this will solve your problem with the update and allow you to go back to listening to your HP computer. Thanks for posting this topic on the Forums of HP. Have a great day! Windows Update crashes trying to check the computer Windows XP Professional x 86 with all important updates Running as an administrator When I try to go to Windows Update, I get a message saying that an ActiveX control must be installed to save your computer. (The machine worked for awhile and used Windows Update.) I click OK and then get a popup error message: --------------------------- Click OK to terminate the program I tried several times and has continued to get the same sequence, so I said finally allow to do anything be installed from Microsoft. Now if I try to go to Windows Update I got the same message appears on the installation of an ActiveX control, but do not receive the request to install it and IE 8 seems to hang or stand the memory error message. How to do this? Method 1 - has not found anything to fix Method 2 - stage 1 - did not help Method 2 - step 2 - could not find the validation ActiveX control Method 3 - does not - problem was with validation I also tried Mode safe mode with networking. The control seems to settle and the website says: I have been validated. However, if I tried to do anything whatsoever (Express, Custom, updates of the list, etc.) he says that the web page has encountered an error. I rebooted and tried again. Yet once, I invited myself to install the ActiveX control. I left the guest sitting there and a little while IE later throw the same memory access error. It was not the installation of the control which was not - it is an asynchronous with process. Then I disabled all add-ins closed IE and has been able to use Windows Update. Add-ins that I disabled were: Name search Name search Name to diagnose connection problems... Windows Messenger name Name ask Nero Discuss name It is a relatively clean system because it's just to run legacy applications. I don't remember installing add-ins that do not specify an editor. In any case by disabling all the cured the problem. Edit: I've activated all EHF supplements I had disabled and closed IE. I was always able to access Windows Update.

It sounds as if there is something in the way of installation. First of all, make sure that your system is free of malware\virus infections. This thread has some great information on this topic: getting rid of malware. If you do not find infections or even the question after removing them and then perform a clean boot , and then run updates. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

Step 1: I suggest to enable windows update and then, check if the problem persists in safe mode with network. Send back the same.
To use a safe mode with network option, follow these steps:
a. restart your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
b. use the arrow keys to choose safe mode with networking to Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
Step 3: Look for error messages in the event viewer. If you find error messages after return the exact error message so that we can help you better.
Measures to check the application event log:
a. Click Start.
(b) in the search box type eventvwr.msc , and then on enter.
c. now, click Application in the event viewer (local).
d. now, looking for event log on the right side of the event viewer window.

I would recommend that you go and try the option boot than dmw86 recommended. After a clean boot, run WU and check that it works, then put your PC to sleep for a few minutes then wake him up and try to WU. Also, before you try this, you must restart your PC and WU before testing and then talk the PC to verify that the problem is after coming out of sleep. Let us know the results.
