• some windows updates not always settle. why it is so?

  some windows updates not always settle. Here are the updates that are not always.

  Update of security for Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 (KB2284695)
  Update for the filter of junk e-mail in Outlook 2003 (KB2466074)
  Update of security for Microsoft Office 2003 (KB2289163)
  Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (KB2449798)

  I don't know why not install microsoft office updates. Maybe because we use cracked versions of office. I think that these updates will not fail if we use a saved version of office 2003. is it so?.

  First thing I would do is to remove the cracked versions and then make a broad analysis AV with malwarebytes and other utilities of the VA, not to say what other little hidden surprise, that you got for free.

• Windows updates not working not - code error 0xC800042D whenever I try

  When I try to update I get error Code: 0xC800042D - I was able to do some updates, but now it gives me this error code every time.  I'm not a computer expert - I just want to update.  I use the feature Microsoft Fixit and he "fixed" the problem but still get the same error message.  What should I do to get the updates short of hiring a "programmer/geek-type of person" to reorganize my computer? I have no further details - simply put: How do the Windows updates to rework?

  Hello

  1. What is the name of Microsoft Fixit are you referring to?
  2. Are you aware of any recent hardware or software on the computer changes before this problem?
  3. You are able to access the Internet?

  Try the method provided in the article below and check after each method:

  Warning to disable the Antivirus: 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.

  Warning to disable Firewall: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

  Note: once you have completed the steps, make sure that you turn on the firewall and reactivate the antivirus in order to avoid the risk of infection by the virus.

• Windows Update just turns and turns, seemingly without end

  A week previously, Windows Update seems to stop working on my laptop. It seems finished reviewing the updates for my Windows Vista, but just turns and turns and turns. Before that, it took 6 minutes or less to check updates and let me know if there is. If it has been downloaded an update, he'd let me know its size and how long it would take. Anyone know what is happening?

  Today, it is Patch Tuesday of August 2016, so don't forget to check the page Web of Dalai tonight to see if it has revised its list of five Windows kernel mode driver (Win32K.sys) updates which should be pre-installed for faster Windows updates if these five updates are missing from your system.  I can not confirm yet, but preliminary information would indicate that the KB3168965 of the last month has been replaced by KB3177725 (MS16-098: a security update for the Windows Kernel-Mode drivers: 9 August 2016).

• Satellite C660 - Windows updates keep turning off my wireless.

  The latest little have disabled my wireless and I was able to get it working again by rolling back by using the system restore.

  The last time this happened (last month) even this does not solve it and I had to let PC World do the.
  They challenge the updates of Windows one by one until they finally restored the wireless.

  Their opinion was to NOT let Windows automatically update my PC!
  The problem I have now is when do I allow an update?

  Sometimes there are important security updates.
  How do I discriminate between them and more importantly why is my Toshiba exposed to these inconveniences and that Toshiba makes preventing them in the first place?

• Client Windows Update not found with error 0 x 80070490

  Since December 18, 2010 windows update fails on my DellLatitudeD630 under Vista ULTIMATE SP2.
  Tried many methods suggested on various web sites:
  Installation via the Vista DVD update: result: update greyed... no upgrade needed

  Services related to Windows Update, re-registers restarted .dll files services: no change

  Cleaned the permissions using the subinacl script posted on the web: no change

  Tried to install WindowsUpdateAgent30 - x 86 .exe, Setup stops with the Agent installation program Windows Update has encountered an unrecoverable error (but I was not able to understand what goes wrong).

  Anyway, I tried what I could and would be very happy if one of you could tell me a method that works.

  Thanks in advance,

  C.

  Unfortunately, the only options are really "upgrade on the spot or reinstallation of the operating system".

• Windows updates not working do not AT ALL

  Five days ago, that I had to reinstall the Vista operating system. When I tried to install Microsoft office, I discovered that I need Vista SP1.  That's when I realized that all the attempts over the past five days updates had 'no.'  In the last hour, I worked with Microsoft technology by CAT on this issue and were made to do a scan of the sfc. Sfc scan window told me that I had a system repair pending that requires a reboot. I did the reset, but the sfc scan keeps giving the same message. I don't know if this is related to the inability of my computer up to date. (This all came trying to install Microsoft Office, which requires Vista SP1. Reinstall drive was apparently without SP1.  Any ideas?   (I just spent more than 25 hours get 2 rootkit virus diagnosed and removed - so the need to reinstall my operating system)

• Windows Update not working do not Error Message and Windows Defender cannot update Error Message definitions

  I have a laptop Dell 1501 with Vista Home Basic 32-bit.

  I ran CA 2010 Security Suite and you have scanned for Malware with regard to the Windows Update Error Message. He found none. I ran Microsoft Malware malicious tool, and it found. I ran Windows Defender and he found. I don't have CA and Windows Firewall to protect my computer and I have disabled both in trying to solve this problem of Windows Update and Windows Defender.

  I got this error 4 days ago. Here is what I tried:

  -I went on various Web sites, including Microsoft Support - and tried to solve the problem through services.msc and msconfig.exe. None worked.

  -J' noticed in msconfig. where it says start waiting next to Windows Update. There are 3-4 elements, which are affiliated to Windows Update and made sure they did not exist in the registry.

  -J' have to ensure that they were supposed to be automatic or manual under services.msc.

  -J' rebooted several times and nothing changes.

  Windows Defender does not update the definitions, and I do not know if this coincides with the release of Windows does not.

  I am at my wit's end and do not want to crash and burn my computer.

  I need serious help. Please, I beg you!

  Thank you.

  I had to call Microsoft. Alex tried to add registry keys and input upgrade.

  My Windows Update has almost been altered. It could be my mistake or it has become corrupted when running other services at the same time.

  I was sent a Windows 7 Home Premium Disc to upgrade and start over, as my Vista disk was corrupted as well.

  I would not recommend trying one of the suggestions listed on other sites. It's my personal opinion because I have in the past and it worsened my problem.

  I also wouldn't delete all programs (unless absolutely necessary) because I remove 4 MSMXL and he made their work more difficult.

  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  Sometimes the only solution is to call Microsoft and they will evaluate if a charge of telephone support is necessary from the outset, before they run for your problem.

  Despite what you may have read, Microsoft Technical Support technicians are very efficient and kind.

  We inform you to open a slot during your day or even open your day for the problem to be solved.

  Mine took 2 1/2 hours, and they had to remind me the next day to make the order for the disk because it could not be done the same day.

  The more patient and kind you are, the best representative.

  Hope this helps and thanks for reading,.

• Windows Update not available on my xp home edition. Also no pgedit and bits do not work.

  "windows update is not available" for my xp Home Edition.  I followed the instructions to fix and found that I had no gpedit.  Also said something about BITS works do not.  I don't have my recovery disks.  I care not one of my files.  I want just a fresh install of xp.  I tried microsoft fix it but no good.  I tried to change the recommended registry but nothing.  I need to have regular updates for my xp system.

  [1] I got a really nice, totally authentic Dell with XP home Edition with product information and all that.  My problem is that he had suffered some nasty virus that makes it unusable or at least the inheritee.

  [2] the recovery discs can be acquired from the source, i.e. of Dell

  A1. You should have to do a clean install when you inherited the computer. Since you have not, it's yet another reason to do it now.

  A2. If a set of disks came with the computer, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do a clean install (in Dell-speak, a "destructive recovery"). You will find information about this in the Dell Support Web site (e.g., http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&docid=181316).
