    Since 13 July, Windows Update suggested I have install these updates.  I agreed and they are then downloaded and installed... or so I think.  When I turned off my computer at night, the updates fail and say they will try again the next day.  This happened every day since.  They simply won't be installed and code Error 80070020.  I checked and my Windows Vista Home Premium installed Service Pack 2.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello

    This problem can occur if a program (most probably antivirus) interferes with the automatic update process.

    Perform the steps in the following article and check:

    You receive error 0 x 80070020 when you use the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site to install the updates

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/883825

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Windows update error 80072EFD

    Hello
    I have a laptop of old P750 for 2 months, after they need to do a restore to a disk upward, I now get the above error.
    I then decided to do a cover of toshiba with a clean install and still get the same result of windows update is not not able to connect to the server.

    I tried everything I can find this error, including the verification of the proxy settings for WU, reset the proxy via CMD prompt settings.

    I noticed something interesting while control validation using microsoft MGA diagnostic tool, where windows has been listed as a hat, but note some reports as:

    Validation code: 0
    LegitCheckControl: N/a, hr = 0 x 80070002
    signed: n/a, hr = 0 x 80070002

    My understanding is the way to 0 x 80070002 he couldn't connect identical to WU or that files are missing.

    I have rebuilt that recommended such c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution records, turned off all firewall, removed antivirus / software malware but still no luck.

    It seems funny how the same thing happens even after a clean drive toshiba recovery.

    Any suggestions?

  • Windows Update error code

    I have a new Toshiba laptop, running Windows 7 (Home Premium SP1 installed by the OEM). My internet connection works fine for all sites Web except it fails when I try Windows Update. Error message code is 8024402F. I already checked 'automatically detect DNS settings' I also tried disabling my firewall (McAfee) temporarily and tried without solution. I tried dozens of times in recent days.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hello

    According to the Microsoft Knowledge Base, it has something to do with your Internet connection. Have you already checked the Microsoft Knowledge Base?

    Microsoft recommends disabling the security software (antivirus and firewall) and try the troubleshooting Windows Update tool as described here:

    Alan,
    If you have not already opened him a pension case and you still get this error, here are a few things to try.
    Run these tools and see if one of them report errors that cannot be fixed:
    Disk error checking
    System File Checker  
    The system update tool

    If those who invent it own and you still have a problem you can run some virus\malware scan from another source and then your.  Take a look at these links because they have some great info on virus protection:

  • Windows Update, error 80200010 # WindowsUpdate_dt000

    The message referenced above is the error in trying to fill three 3 important updates to my computer, I received.  Two 2 updates installed correctly and completely, however, one (1) does not.  In chicking on icon troubleshooting he, I will put this error message "WindowsUpdate_80200010" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"  What does this mean and how can I fix this error and get this update loaded on my computer.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80200010

    If Windows Update error 80200010 during updates, this means that the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), cannot access the Internet. This service is used to connect to the Windows website and download updates to your computer.

    To fix this problem, make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet and check for updates again. To easily see if you are connected to the Internet, point to the network icon in the notification area and wait until you can see the status of your connection. You will see the name of your network or the service to which you are connected and the type of connection you have. If you are on a company or home network, you should see the message access: Local and Internet.

    I figured Vista in this case.
