• Windows 8 "license is invalid" after Windows updates (help please!)

  Hello

  I have a C540 all in one (no load) running Windows 8 and noticed yesterday that Windows updates have been failure for months then tried to run all the updates so that I can update to 8.1 (and, possibly, 10). At that time (and since purchase - I'm the original purchaser) Windows 8 has been activated very well.

  There were various failures and reversions of updates and now Windows does not recognize the Activation Code. The key is material, it shows that I have a key in the registry, but when I entered in the service of Activation of Windows I get the error:

  The following error occurred while trying to use the product key:

  Code:
  0xC004F01F

  Description:
  The Software Licensing Service determined that the license is not valid.

  Microsoft helpfully told me this isn't their problem because it is an OEM license (even if the only thing I've done is apply the updates of Windows) and I need to buy a key to sales at retail. Lenovo speaks for me because I'm out of warranty.

  Someone at - it ideas or experience or I'll just have to hit this PC with a massive hammer and not buy Lenovo or authorized OEM PCs again?

  Thanks in advance!

  I think I have a half today to answer my own question.

  Today (without any changes made to anything) the key to Activation of Windows 8 was suddenly recognized and valid again. Now install each windows update individually also works.

  I think that it is possible, but there is an intermittent hardware fault kind on the C540 causing quite different material for the MS license not to recognize the configuration (and think that the license is not valid for the PC), whatever it is not permanent.

  Then - in terms of correction... Well I don't have - he went just by itself and I guess he'll be back one day...

• 8.1 Windows update help

  I am running Windows 8 in my PC.
  The download link for Windows 8.1 in Windows applications store is visible to me.

  Is it possible to download the update via my browser.

  Thank you.

  No, it can come from the store.  The people responsible for that decision no longer work for Microsoft, and the next update after a (Windows 8.1 update 1) occur via the normal Windows Update System (be it in the control panel or the KB downloads).  I expect that the next fall updated to be the same.

• Windows 7 Pro - required Windows Update help.

  So everyone went 10 crazy, but I still need to use Win 7 until the new updates available for my software.

  I have a problem with my Win 7 Pro. I installed it on a H87 Pro with 16 GB and 120 GB Samsung SSD memory.

  I use it for this post.

  I try to get updates, but all I get is a screen telling me what to check updates. Since it's a new facility, I'd expect a number of updates, but nothing happens. I let the thing running for hours, but all I get is the screen updates.

  My question is, how do I get updates for my Win 7 Pro 64-bit?

• Cannot run Windows Update. Keeps saying to re-record the files but nothing helped.

  Funny but I seem to just receive this error message when I run windowsupdate.com

  "Files required to use Windows Update are longer registered or installed on your computer. To continue:

  Click option 1: register or reinstall the files for me now (recommended)
  Click on option 2: Let me read on other measures that may be required to solve the problem. »

  By clicking on option 1 sets as it is something useful, then goes back to the screen Windows Update offering Express (recommended) or custom. Whichever you choose, it sends you back to:
  "Files required to use Windows Update are longer registered or installed on your computer. "To continue:

  By clicking on the option 2 doesn't send you a place that helps you solve the problem, it sends you to a screen where you can "SEARCH FOR YOURSELF" from scratch!

  I tried a few solutions as re-register DLL files, but not to prevail. It has not changed.

  I tried force windows update agent installation, but nothing works. It's really frustrating.

  What are the files DLL have you tried re - record exactly?

  Have you tried to register MSXML3?
  "regsvr32 msxml3.

  You can also try to run the "sfc/scannow" command and let Windows try to repair system files.

• Windows update error 80070005 and so on! New theory. Any help?

  I had this problem that seems to affect most vista users where after a short while that the packs from windows update.
  I tried ALL the solutions offered by people and like so many other users with the same problem. Nothing works.

  However, one thing I noticed when trying to find my own solution was that it lacked the library file «wuauserv.dll» I found this trying to pass on automatic updates using the services.msc run program and change the upadte properties. I had an another new error message that says "error 2: could not locate the file ' then watch popular files updated and search my hard drive for them. So I re-uploaded wuauserv.dll (whether it is one, I couldn't find) and moved to the system32 folder, where it should be. Still nothing works.
  Actually I can not yet manually launch the much worse is it connect and download updates. It seems to have given up completely. And there may be still more missing files.

  But in any case, my conclusion is that it is a problem of file misssing is not a problem of entries has already applied. It's just a case of finding the right files and resettlement.

  However, it is more complicated than it seems. I think that there should be a uninstall and reinstall option for the Windows Update program, but microsoft really seem not to care much for this problem, and he made my head for months. and my vista and laptop are only 4 months!

  Any help would be appreciated.

• Windows Update 0% progress - need help!

  Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could be kind enough to help me solve this problem with my computer oh. I have a laptop HP with Windows 7 and it happened for a few days to a week about my Windows updates. Whenever I closed my laptop, the screen always says 'do not turn off your computer, Windows sets up' . After 2 hours it is when she finally stopped, but when I turn it on again the same statement appears briefly.

  I checked my Windows Update in Control Panel and it says I have 6 important updates regarding the improvement for Internet Explorer and my windows. So I tried to install these updates, but the progress remains at 0%. So what's the problem here and how can I solve this problem?

  Also, whenever I try to open Internet Explorer, it will still not open because it just freezes there. Firefox works fine and I have access to an internet connection, but I find it strange how my Internet Explorer does not work.

  Please and thank you for your help.

  Hi all

  First time here.  Relentlessly, I get 80070426 error when I try to download the latest urgent/updates Windows Update recommended.  This has happened for weeks.  I scanned with Malwarebytes & Avast... find scans nothing.  I saved and run mbam and avast to disc... still nothing is found.

  My windows preferences are defined on notify me when the urgency and recommended updates are available for download.  I passed this automatic download and prompt me to install updates to day... it doesn't matter... I still get the same error.  When I click search for updates, I get a MSG "windows update has encountered an unknown error."  When I go after "Get help with error," help Windows results pulled up to... "WindowsUpdate_Error_80070426" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

  I even recorded my copy of windows again... I bought Sony computer with windows installed.

  I have the Sony support for these questions... but I really want to sit on the phone with someone who plays a standard solution... format that does not work... only for transfer to the expert support.

  I'd appreciate any help that can be provided to this forum.  Anyone? Ideas?

  Thank you
