• Windows Update history IE8 installation failed (error code: 0x800706BE)

  original title: Windows Update History error code

  Historical Windows Update says my IE8 installation failed, but he did not. All updates installed after IE8 and Windows Update Custom says IE8 security there that more nothing to install. How can I fix the update history? The error code is 0x800706BE. I ran the tool FixIt from Microsoft Powershell and repaired Windows Update, but still false historical error. Windows XP SP3. I had rather not unintall/reinstall IE8.

  Then, assuming that IE8 is not offered again when run you a scan CUSTOM to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com or automatic updates, you don't have to worry about this entry in the update history.

  Note: If you HAVE additional problems in IE8 or Windows Update (for example, when the next Cumulative Security Update for IE8 is released in April 2012, if not earlier), and I think that you will respond to this topic for further assistance (i.e. to bookmark this thread).

  "The view update history" display on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 Vista SP2 has now no entries before the recent installation of the Windows Update Agent 7.4.7600.226, IE no references for the many updates installed during the pastyear. Any thoughts?

  Welcome to Microsoft Windows 7 answers Forum!

  If you install the Windows Update Agent 7.4.7600.226 on your computer it will reset the history tab 'View Update History' but if you go to the "Installed updates" option you will be able to see all installed updates on the computer in the past.

• Hewlett-Packard Pavilion Elite: I've lost my Windows update history

  I have put in some way my windows7 desktop computer so that only updates are displayed via the Control Panel & View Update History. It started quite recently & as far as I can tell there were no problem, but if a problem any occurred, it might be useful to review the history of update. My Vista laptop displays up to date all the way back to 2009.

  Online search, gave information about the deletion of the history log (without removing the updates, of course).  This is not what I want, but a couple I looked on says that the story would begin again accumulate.

  I would like to restore the full history, including all recent updates log, if possible. If this is not possible, I would like to at least repeat history acummulating.

  Is this possible? If so, how?

  Updates optional relating to drivers is not to install the item.  Windows Update has the habit of their screwing.  If you need to move directly from the manufacturer.

  If you are unsure whether to install updates, ask here.

  The next time you get the Apple update send us a screenshot.  If you have installed QuickTime from Apple, then it should be OK to install it.

  It seems that your Windows Update problems need to be solved and you should have no problem in the future.  Now you know what to look for and what to do.

  Re your NVIDIA graphics card, I recommend that you download the app NVDI GeForce from here.  It will continually check your driver for updates and automatically.  It is much preferred that getting the update via Windows Update.

• Cannot install windows updates and updates history screen is empty.

  I can't install the windows updates. I have Windows Vista Home Premium. My automatic update is running... I studied and thought that the problem was with some service pack 2 I had to install - I did and nothing helped. My windows update history page is completley empty and Iwonder why. Also, I now can't seem to connect my Nokia phone to my computer as he finds the right driver online, but then it cannot install it. Can someone tell me what on Earth is cause of these problems. Thank you

  The computer had only preinstalled Norton or McAfee, but I've since deleted these programs because I found them to be boring...

  A properly installed, fully functional anti-virus application should never be boring. Although that pretty much excludes from the application of all the Norton and McAfee in my humble OPINION, there are others available.

• Windows Update offers me a few old updates, is there a way to track and organize the installation of update history?

  Original title: update windows

  I am regularly offered 'old' updates for installation, for example, KB2487367 published 05/08/2011. Is it possible to copy my Windows Update history file to an Excel file? I could then sort by number of update and avoid download/installation of the old updates. Or better yet, is there a historic Windows Update file that is already sorted by number of update?

  Yes, it was installed successfully (according to the history of the update). No indication that it was available on resetting for several days. I went through my entire history of update to see if/when it has been previously installed. It is not a major concern for download and install. Am I better turn off just the download of 'important' updates offered by Microsoft? He done wrong to "re-download"?

  If you install, you may need it.  You only * need * to install critical / security updates really.
   
  If the update installs correctly and not is not offered on several occasions "burst" - there is no harm in just letting Windows Update just "doing his thing"...

• A no Windows Update has shown as successful

  I tried to install:

  KB 890830 (Windows malicious removal tool) and
  Ko 905866 (Windows spam filter)

  Today, by using Windows Update.  After having waited 20 minutes and seeing always 0% complete on the installation process on the first KB, I clicked on 'Stop install', and then Windows Update immediately proceeded to the second update (KB 905866) and completed.  No error occurred.

  When I open Windows Update again and went to "update history", I see that both of these KB have been applied, but when I opened the "installed updates", I've seen the other installed.  I clicked on search for updates, but the first KB (890830) don't always appear as available updates.

  I don't know if it has something to with a recent system restore I did.  Yesterday I restored my system to 11 July, the restore completed successfully, but I realized my MSE definitions are completely returned to 28 June (date where I applied a number of Windows updates), and when I tried to shut down windows, it took considerably more time to close.

  Looks like my Windows Update history I messed up.  What should I do?

  I am running Vista SP2.  Thank you very much.

  Very general, do not think that the restoration of the system as a utility 'Save my ass', please. It's more a utility "well, I tried everything, then...". ».

  When you reinstalled Windows, the free McAfee trial has been reinstalled, too. You should have uninstalled then downloaded and free trial / run theMcAfee Consumer products removal tool before installing MSE. (No, it does not matter that you don't use or activate it.)

  The fact that you have so would explain well MSE freezing and the eccentric behavior Windows Mail & Windows Update. Follow these steps:

  1. Uninstall (McAfee) Site Advisor and whatever it is named "McAfee" listed in programs and features (seehttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Uninstall-or-change-a-program).

  2. download the Tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop.

  3. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  4. click right on the file you saved in #2 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  5. for good bass, open the following in IE & run the difficulty: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737

  6. also, for good measure, open this article in Internet Explorer & run it in DEFAULT and AGGRESSIVE mode difficulty: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

  7. restart & test.

• Problems after Windows Update on Vista wireless

  It seems that other people have a similar problem, but I'll post this new...
  I've been running Windows Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba laptop for years without any problems.  Earlier this year, I started seeing issues after Windows updates.  The main problem is that after updates Windows, my wireless network is is more noticed and the wireless card (which was installed on the computer, and never had problems before) is not recognized.  I manually installed updated drivers with no luck.  The only thing that has worked is to do a system restore to a point before the updates.  The problem seems to be related to an update in general, I can't uninstall.

  I find it extremely ironic that I have no problems with Vista until Windows 7 is launched. First of all, it's the wireless card, then a problem with a driver graphics card (apparently... which seems to be fixed now) and return to the wireless card.  Should I expect to continue to have problems unless I upgrade to Windows 7?  I can't continue to spend half of my day trying to fix my computer after an update that is supposed to fix the errors, but I don't like the feeling that I am forced to upgrade.

  Hi dabaum77,

  From your post, it seems that the issue was occurring when Windows updates are installed automatically again even after the restoration of the system and that is why I suggest to restore the system again to a point before the updates and download and install Windows updates manually.

   

  Access the link below

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

  2. in the left pane, click on change settings.

  3. under important updates, choose the option you want.

  4. under recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates check box, and then click OK. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  
  Reference:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off

  
  Install the updates one by one and check the update is causing the problem to occur. If the problem persists due to a particular update, repeat the process and refrain from settling the problem causing the update to.

  
  You can also check the update problem in Windows Update history.

   

  Follow the steps to check which day caused the issue:
   
  1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Windows Update icon.
     
  2. click on the link to view update history.
    
  3. to view the details of a single Windows Update-
  (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.
  
  (B) click on close when finished.
   
   
  You can also uninstall the update that is causing the problem to occur, although it is not recommended.
   
  1. to uninstall a Windows Update, you must go to programs and features. There are several ways to find it. One of the simplest is to use the search box on the start menu.
   

  

  2. in the programs and features, click the link updates installed.
   

  

   
  3. after a few seconds, Windows Vista will load the list of installed updates. Scroll down the page until you find the update you want to delete, select it with the mouse and then click on uninstall.
   

  

   
  4. Windows Vista will ask you to confirm that you want to uninstall the update you selected. Click Yes and the uninstall process will begin.
   

  

   
  5 depending on the size of the update, the uninstall process may take from several seconds to several minutes.
   

  

  
  6. wait for the window above will disappear and, if necessary, restart your PC. The update is now deleted.

• 5 years of windows updates the historical use of the available memory lots?

  I want to delete Windows update history in order to increase the available memory.

  First of all, please note that the term 'memory' is used to designate the
  place where the computer contains the program and data with which it is working
  for the time being. It's normally a memory (RAM), but who can
  be extended with the page or swap hard disk file. The word
  'memory' is never used to refer to the space on a drive (be it
  It's a hard drive, floppy disk, CD, DVD or thumb drive). Space on a

  Call for 'memory' disk space is not so much wrong as we have just
  unconventional. In a sense, the disk space is, of course, memory, but the
  important thing to realize is that the word is never used in this way.
  and if you do, you do so at the risk of confusion seriously your

  So I guess that you may have about disk space, not memory. Do not

  Also note that the amount of disk space, you may save is relatively

• After the recent windows update August 16, 2012, my connection to Internet is not working...

  Hello

  I use a laptop HP Pavilion with Windows Vista. August 17, 2012, my connection Internet has stopped working. He was showing 'Local' only against the State of the connection, even if my cable internet and routers wireless work correctly. I have connected to the internet from another computer using Windows XP.

  After having tried many options to solve the problem of the internet for fews and realizing none of them solved my problem: (, I decided to restore the computer to the factory settings on August 19, 2012.) But to my surprise, system recommended to restore to an earlier date (before these recent automatic updates are made on August 16, 2012). I thought to try and to my surprise, my connection Internet started working :).  Which made me think that something that happens in the recent update that is causing my internet connection does not work.

  At the beginning I was in doubt, but now I'm fully convinced as next morning of day again my internet connection stopped working again. I checked Windows update history and realized again automatically updates performed on August 20, 2012. I restored my computer to the previous version before updates again and the Internet started working.

  Here's what I see in the history of the update for that day.

  Update of security suites for Microsoft Office 2007 (KB2596856)

  Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista Systems (KB2722913) based on x 64

  Update security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB2731847)

  Update security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB2712808)

  Update of security suites for Microsoft Office 2007 (KB2596615)

  Update security for Windows Vista for x 64-based systems (KB2705219)

  Windows x 64-August malicious software removal tool (KB890830) 2012

  Can anyone help answer more?

  -What day could cause this problem?

  -How can I just remove this one update which may cause a problem (I'd like to get the other automatic updates in the future, so don't want to disable the auto update)?

  The guys at Microsoft told me, problem is introduced by McAfee.  Here is the link for the solution to the problem.

  http://service.McAfee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?ID=TS101446

  I didn't try it myself, as my internet problem is automatically solved in a few days. I think that my version of McAfee must have automatically been updated, which may have solved the problem.
