Windows Update Error 80070002. Windows configures still (probably the same) updates every time that I have shut down or restart.

Windows always configures updates while shutting down the machine and the later start. I tried all the methods described on the microsoft Web site, including the removal of the files in the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution after stopping the update service, using fixit and using the analysis tool. All in vain.

Update of Windows gives an error code 80070002. I have this problem since December 14, 2011.
Kindly help.

Thank you for your advice. I have solved my problem. The approximate sequence of change made is:

Remove pending.xml file.
Rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.
Calendar Checkdisk and reboot your pc.
Run as administrator command prompt and type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.
After completion, reboot your pc and try to install the updates.
Once again thanks for the advice...

  • Windows wants to install 6 updates every time that I log out or put the computer in mode "Eve"

    I can't stop or have food options on.  I expect the updates to install.  It is said that they have installed and the next time I start there they are.

    Hi Happygrammy,

    Welcome to the Windows Vista answers Forum!

    This could happen if the update that you are trying to install are damaged during the process. To prevent this all the time you need to maybe uninstall the updates, and install them one at a time.

    To do this, you will need to make a list updates that are the cause of the problem, then go to install update history and uninstall them manually. Then download these updates and install them in clean boot mode.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista 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.

    Steps to put the system in clean boot include:

    1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights

    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue

    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all

    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use with existing restore points system restore utility

    For more information about the clean boot, follow the below given link:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart

    You will need to maybe reset the Windows Update components, download the Microsoft fix - it from the link and run the wizard that automatically resets the windows update components, if it does not, I recommend that reset you manually update windows components from the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

    These steps should solve the problem, give it a try and check if you are able to perform windows updates.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Hi K - Ann,

    Thank you for the above information.

    I followed you instruction to back up the registry keys, but when I followed step number 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    So I closed my computer and restarted. I then followed your instructions again (this time save the backup of the registry to a member in the same library, called "Backup260910bkup"

    Yet once, when I followed the number of the step 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910bkup.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    Can you tell me what I need to do to work around this problem of backup of the registry?

    I look forward to receiving your response.

    Thank you

    Neil Clark.
