Windows Update has not been updated since 16/01/2012

I had problems with windows update for some time.  When I close my computer it says update of 123 steps, but still it will never update anything.

You receive errors related to updates?

  1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programs and then click Windows Update.
  2. In the left pane, click view update history.

    Updates that have failed to install will display failed under status, next to the name of update.
  4. In the Windows Update dialog box, next to the details of the error, review the error code for the update has failed.
  5. Follow the links in the Windows Update dialog box under more information or help and Support to resolve the problem, then try to reinstall updates by using Windows Update in Control Panel or by mail with the error code and maybe someone may be able to help others.

  • 8.1 Windows "secureboot has not been configured correctly" watermark.

    Hello world! Last night, I've upgraded to windows 8.1. It works perfectly, but there is a watermark on the bottom right corner saying "SecureBoot has not been configured properly to build 9600 ' but as I said otherwise the computer works perfectly. What should I do about it? My computer is HP Pavilion laptop g7 thanks in advance

    A program like Belarc Advisor can be downloaded for free to scan your system and provide the key to the windows registry if necessary, but I don't think it helps in this case.  However, it will show if SecureBoot is enabled or disabled.

    I have a new G7 and updated for Windows 8.1 yesterday and received the same message.  Finally, I fixed the problem by going into settings of UEFI by performing an advanced start.  Once in the BIOS, it appeared that the SecureBoot keys have been corrupted by the update so I refreshed and activated.

    1. go in settings-> laptop-> update settings and Recovery-> Recovery-> Advanced Startup - choose "restart now."

    2. Once restarted, select UEFI firmware settings - then the computer should restart and allow you to select the BIOS updated

    3. in the BIOS, go to system-> Startup Options Configuration

    4. my G7 showed SecureBoot as being disabled.  On the same screen, I selected the option to recharge the HP keys then went back up and allowed SecureBoot (before updating the keys that I was unable to choose SecureBoot).  I selected the F key to save and exit and restart without watermark more.

    Most of this is from memory so I hope that you all can follow and see if it helps your questions as well.  Basically, you will need to get to the BIOS and verify that SecureBoot is on.

  • Update on a laptop that has not been used in almost 1 year

    My husbands cell phone has not been used since last October. He was diagnosed with leukaemia, shortly after he had and has not shown an interest to learn to use it until now. It has Windows 8 and we want to do the free update of Windows 10. The laptop wants to 79 updates before we start download Windows 10. He has been on and downloading these updates for more than 3 hours and the screen still says 0% complete. Is it normal to take so long after being unused for so long? Husband and I went to the challenge of the technology. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    There are many updates and update process may take several hours. You can suddenly find that updates show that almost complete.

    If there is anything on the laptop that you want to keep:

    Download and create a Windows 8.1 installation media and do a clean install of it. See creating installation for Windows 8.1 media. Accepting any offer to install updates during installation. 8.1 Windows installation media last will accept the keys to Windows 8. If your key is in the BIOS of the laptop, it will be detected automatically.

    At the end of the installation, you will be prompted to upgrade to Windows 10 and will be able to do an immediate upgrade Windows 10 without updating the Windows 8.1 installation.

    Visit the support of the manufacturer of your laptop to see if there are model specific drivers you need. Installing Windows 8.1 and 10 will not provide the latest drivers.

    If you want to keep the existing installed applications and files, you can create 8.1 Windows installation media and run the setup.exe on it then in Windows 8.

  • Suggestions on how to update Microsoft Updates when a computer has not been upadted in one year

    have a laptop with Vista on it. The laptop has not been updated (it has been used) in almost a year. I know that there must be a TON of updates it needs Microsoft.

    Another concern that the amount of updates that will be found will crush the computer. How can I update in a safe and less massive way?

    I thought to download all the updates, but simply install a little at a time.

    But I think that the amount of download will be as overwhelming

    Repost

    check marks beside the updates you want to install.

    "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." 90% of the edits, even those labeled as 'critical' no effect not me. I don't use Outlook for e-mail, I do not use Windows Live Mail, is not a server, it is not a media center, is not a game platform, etc., etc.

    I had long climbed out of the car "must always be updated software" long, particularly when it comes to and because of Microsoft updates.

  • It is safe to connect to the internet to update XP if the computer has not been used for a good year or so?

    Hi all - I have another laptop which has remained unused for probably over a year or more, and I want to start using it again. It works under XP, and currently has Service Pack 2 installed. My question is: is it safe to connect to the internet now and start downloading all the required Windows updates? My concern is that, as just like the anti-virus, firewall, even Windows itself have not been updated in so long, it would be imprudent to start the internet connection at this point? Is it safe to go forward and to connect and update, or is it better to download updates etc on another computer, put it on a disc/USB and then use it to install updates? Thanks in advance!

    Consider that he is therefore authorized to connect the computer to our broadband services to update the anti-anti-virus/firewall?

    Yes, as long as the firewall is turned on and that's the first thing you do online (i.e., no surfing, no audit e-mail, no chat, no download of anything else).

    The Windows Security Center will let you know if something went wrong.

    You're welcome and thank you very much for your comments!
