Windows Update in early September

I have had almost no problems with vista so far. The update a few days ago caused my user id to lock and I can't to my itunes job or school. What can I do? Reference Dell, removal of updates will not fix it and they want $100 / hour to try to fix it! I can get to my papers, but not my itunes songs help me please! I love my computer, but the dell guy is telling me to buy a mac!

Hello

BTW, mac users have problems too, there is just a lot less of them so not too noticeable.

Its likely, your account is corrupted. To make a new account with your password same - Set as an administrator. Reboot (for not)
just Logoff) and logon to the new account. Then use it to raise and lower your other account a few times for help
erase corruption (you can do this Control - Panel - users - manage another account and put it down just to user
Change of account type and then go back and change to Admin - this a few times to try to clear corruption).
Do not forget to leave as an administrator.

Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) keep always a spare account admin use
This one to migrate to if necessary.

DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

As you say your iTunes are probably still here so check with the support of iTunes and their forums, and you can
probably all reload them.

    Hope you can read and understand it - perhaps someone has a solution.

    Best regards

    Ingo

    Published by: ADMIN

    Hello Ingo

    Last days, we read more similar reports on the various problems after installing SP3. As far as I know that Toshiba has faced similar problems after SP2 release and updates were offered. The fact is that SP3 has a negative influence on the different drivers and Toshiba has designed tools and utilities.

    For now, Toshiba has not any update and we need to see what will happen in the future. I always use SP2 and do not have similar problems on my laptop satellite.

    Or you can live with it and wait for update or restore BONES on time earlier and remove SP3.
    I see no solution at the moment.

  • Pavilion G7 1355 A9Y70EA: windows update does not

    I had to do a complete reinstall of my windows 7 and even recovery if everything else seems in good condition, the function of windows update does not work despite my now do a restore complete 3 times and also executes all microsofts fix programs for this problem, also tried several fixes YouTube, but nothing works , are getting desperate now. He said only updates and the small bar just keep on crossing of forever with nothing else to be... Help...

    Thans for the answer, I understand what you say, it's just that, until I discarded the computer a few days before (by foolishly following a tip to youtube to speed up computer that has totally stopped it start) windows update worked very well and it has been since a windows 10 installation and a removal of windows 10 the next day a few months ago. The folder c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/windows/download exist with only 2 files with names very long gibberish and it is only 15 kb and the other file is 39 k, which seems to be far big enough for any update. I was wondering if instead of the clean install from the recovery partition would be any different doing a clean install from the recovery disks that I did when I got the laptop? see you soon

    Made no difference with update disk and these 2 small updates are only updated Adobe and after 3 off straight, the bar is still meandering along, my update history shows only updates from 2012 when win7 was installed everything first... * beep * Microsoft!

    P. S.

    Yesterday, I decided I had enough and started to install windows from a download 10 earlier, but after it began, I thought "no you know you hated" so I canceled the installation. That's about 3 hours later when I went to stop the laptop it says close and install the updates, so, after 4 hours of installing updates 251 and restarted then installed another 41 updates, then again on the next closure, so basically, I think that the few installation the windows 10 made seemed to start updates to speed?

    Ohanna Hello,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forums.

    Determine the current Version of WUA:

    Determine the version of Windows Update Agent (WUA) before using it. The current version of WUA is determined by the version of the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll that runs in the current installation of Windows \System32 directory. If the c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll is version 5.4.3790.1000 or a later version, WUA is installed. A version earlier than 5.4.3790.1000 indicates that the Software Update Services (SUS) 1.0 is installed.

    When a call is made for SUS 1.0 using the API INTERFACE, an HRESULT of WU_E_AU_LEGACYSERVER is returned.

    You can also use the IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo::GetInfo method to retrieve the latest version of file of the c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll that runs on a computer. The IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo interface is not supported in WUA 1.0.

    For more information, see update the Windows Update Agent.

    Thank you.
