• Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.
   
  Check out WERCON for more information-
   
  1) Click START | wercon.exe type in the search box start and click on enter.
   
  (2) select "View problem history", under 'Windows identified problems' with the right button on a problem, and then select "view problem details. Click "Copy to Clipboard" export to text document
   
  Also reset the Firewall setting:
   
  1) Click START | type FirewallSettings.exe into the start search box | Click on FirewallSettings.exe above | Select the Advanced Settings tab. Click 'Restore Defaults ' | Click on apply (if Hi-lighted) | Click OK

  Check the status of the service as well:

  Log in as administrator-

  Start button | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | Administration tools

  Double-click on Services

  (Provide the administrator password or a confirmation if prompted to do so.)

  Right click on the 'Windows Modules Installer' service, and then select Properties.

  Select the general tab - make sure that the startup type is manual

• Error 80070643 Windows Update the 13 April 2010. Seems to be the update to the office only.

  The Windows update 04/13/2010, problems since then it never ends the Office updates. Download KBN 981715/981433/980470,980729 start install and error 80070643. Whenever I start a component Office, then it goes to the Windows Installer box takes 15-30 seconds before you start. Also if I start Outlook, same thing then when I email even Windows Installer box.  Tried to restore, only goes so far after this update, I have dealt with this during more than a week and have tried to install a variety of way with no luck.  I don't read a thread here on the 'Office Source Engine (OSE) service"made sure to start which then tried update again once no good same error.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Ed

  On the first screen, select select other options.  It will then bring up a screen showing only the last 5 days of restore points (with a box at the bottom left away from check to display more than 5 days of restore points).  It's the same in all versions of Vista.  I don't understand why you didn't him are not see unless you have not more than 5 days old restore points (but I think that it would always show the box and the option anyway).  Try to run the system restore disk instead of from the computer to see if it works better.

  Good luck!

• Compatible Windows XP & Windows Update issues from July 2010

  I am a technician in a company working with point of sale systems, and we quite regularly do the format / reinstall of Windows XP on different computers.  Since last week, every time the update to a new installation of XP SP3 using Windows Update, Windows and Internet Explorer have errors after the first batch of updates and reboot.  When Windows starts, an error box will appear that says something about an advpack.dll error.  Then, when you open IE, it loads the homepage correctly, but if you try to navigate to another Web site he returns the error "the requested lookup key is not found in any active activation context". I googled both of these errors and have found at least a partial solution to the latter; by setting the IE on the Windows Update home page, you can get the rest updates needed to make IE working again.  However, this always leads to problems with the software that we use, it is based on IE for some of its features.

  Someone met these issues with Windows Update recently?  And are there solutions?  This makes my job extremely difficult.

  Before anyone asks, I have experienced these problems on several computers (4 or 5 so far), and using at least two different copies of XP, it a regular retail SP3 install disk and the other an OEM SP3 disk.

  I realized that if I download IE8 with the first batch of updates, I avoid the problem.  IE8 has apparently struck in the queue of priority on Windows Update to where he tried to install IE8 first, then a few fixes for IE6, which crushes IE8, make a mess of it all.

• Windows does not load after Windows update on January 8, 2010

  Basically, I've updated windows last night and is gone to bed and after I myself woke up and turned on the computer, windows won't load.

  There was an option to repair, but he says "Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically.

  So I ran the hardware test and everything was fine.  I tried to do a system restore... but it is come to the same, exact screen stating that «Startup Repair cannot...» ». I tried to run in safe mode and exactly the same result.

  I don't want to try to restore the computer to factory settings and lose everything I have.

• Windows Update crashes

  Running Windows 7 Pro (x 64)

  When I try to open Windows Update in Control Panel, it will not open. A "flag" Windows Update window will appear in my taskbar, but clicking just above brings the control panel.

  I was able to open Windows Update before I tried some things to fix this (edit: when I was able to open Windows before Update, it would freeze always upward after I clicked the button to install the updates - the rest of the system would be, but the Windows Update window was insensitive). What I did was run services.msc and tried to place the automatic Windows Update service (delayed) automatic - this change does not appear to have taken, however, as it is always set to automatic (delayed). I also tried to stop the service, but that has expired.

  The BITS service correspond to the following description: maybe I changed the startup type to automatic (that's what it is now worth, I remember more than the default value). The status of the service is listed as stopped, and when I try to start it, it gives me error 126: the specified module could not be found.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  EDIT: actually, maybe it is not frozen - instead, it's now fair to really take a long time to open, and each selection (like click to get information on the updates to install) takes more than 30 seconds or more. I'll try to update again and wait to see if anything changes.

  Also, I checked the history of update. The last update must be installed with success was the definition update Windows Defender (KB915597) 24/06/2010. All since then (and slightly before this date) failed. I can't give more details on what is the system may have changed because, apparently, the problem started months ago, and also because this is my girlfriend's computer; She did not notice that there was a problem until now.

  EDIT: OK, he supposedly started updated, but after the download/install progress window opens, it now seems to be frozen - it does not (the window cannot be moved, and the progress indicator is not animated) and downloaded/installed is stuck at 0 kb total/0% after several minutes.

  EDIT: I clicked back to the update of Windows and, for a while, the progress indicator was lively, but then he stopped again. Progress are still stuck at 0 kb/0%.

  I agree with my colleague MowGreen.

• Windows Update does nothing...

  OK, so the title says it all. However, iv looked at several posts and threads within those.

  my system is former general... Originally installed was the beautiful Vista, Ahhhhh... OK, enough, around 2009. I finally take 7 (toward 2014) things are going well until 3 days ago. I have had DRASTIC drops in FPS (frames per sec.) 90 > 10 instantly and jumping continued... Then I talked to a lot of personal technicians close and all bouncing ideas back and forth, I get voids with a any hope of fixing (process control, RAM, covering even the files that could have been removed by an unwanted program and unwanted programs themselves and last but not least by ensuring that all my drivers are up to date... At this stage iv installed a program called DriverMax (bad idea) he told me everything was outdated and I've updated everything. Still no solution... but worse, physical memory starts to jump, and CPU utilization go down 95%. This point! I'm at my end "whits"... new "clean" Windows 7 installation... everything is back to 100%, except for one huge thing... After I downloaded AVG I start windows updates... She will continue the search for updates and stops after 15-20 minutes (the window just closes) without finding updates.

  IV tried everything iv seen so far on these forums and can't fix it. Nearest IV seen is a guy saying to download the REQUIRED files (2 I think) and install the next clean installation WHILE the Internet is disconnected from the tower so on startup/system configuration download manually the files causing the locking...

  If a technician has ANY info at all to give me more help, please just ask.

  A new feature has been added to cleaning disc in October 2013, which is not available in cCleaner. You must change the existing settings to take advantage of the new feature. Type Disk Cleanup in the search above the Start button box and press ENTER. Click OK and after the calculation of space, you will see a window with a list of files to delete. Use the right-hand scroll bar to see the entries hidden further down the list. Check the boxes in front of the backup of the Service Pack files and cleaning of Windows Update and click OK you will see savings every time after Windows has been updated, but they are not as important when it is run after the first time. You must restart the computer to complete the process.

• DJ 6122 installation: Windows could not get a list of devices from Windows Update

All online sources, including HP say is another driver for DJ 990c driver required and is available by clicking on "Windows Update" in the dialog box, install printer driver. In doing so, always get message "Windows could not obtain the list of devices from Windows Update, please try again later".

  These steps solved the problem:

  3. under the name to find "Windows Update".

  4. right click "Windows Update" and select stop. do not close

  7. go to Manager tasks then Services, right click on "Windows Update", then select start.

  Then, return to the add printer function.   Be patient, it will take several minutes.  You will find that the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder has been rebuilt.

  I don't know if that helps, but initially I think downloading an update, then remained in the thing of locking system, to the "installation 1 of 4 do not unplug the computer" for 8 to 10 hours, so at that point, I had to disobey microsoft and reset the computer.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

  This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.
