Windows Update process

• What processes are used for Windows Update, in addition to wuauclt.exe?

  I have a request for the protection of the HARD disk that restores the hard drive to a specific point, regardless of changes made during a Windows session. I can set the exceptions folder or process. What I'm trying to do is to allow the Windows updates through this program, but that I need to know what processes are involved in the update sequence, to know what process to define exceptions. At this point, I am running XP, but I would like to know if there is a difference for Vista or 7 (or editions of server, if it's no difference, but I guess that 2003 is the same as XP and 7 2008).

  Thanks in advance, if anyone can help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

  Right now, without any exceptions defined, if I run windows update, after a reboot, the system will be as it was before the update. If the update is made, but rebooting restores the system to the original state (the State when I activated this protection)

  WYSIWYG and excluding related to Windows Update 'process' will not change it.

  Install updates more various & various new versions of the file and update the registry. Unless you exclude the startup any reader (usually drive c :)) and the entire record (don't know how you would do that), using this so-far-unamed "Application for protection of HARD drive" literally "Cancel" all updates you have installed from the system 'image' or 'snapshot' of the disk HARD was created.)

  Looks like you are trying to use this application like Windows SteadyState (which is no longer supported).

• 'Check' updates from Windows Update is stuck after that I have reset my laptop

  I refreshed and reset my laptop but it will always get stuck 'Check updates' and everything works so slow... than ever before.
  Is this a problem with my hard drive?

  OloberSaiko

  Sorry, but your reset laptop reset Windows Update.

  I recently had to do this in one of my PC and it took three days complete (!) for the Windows Update process finish.  One day find updates, one day to download and one day to apply.

  To add to the frustration, during downloads, progress 'freeze' to zero percent!

  So, I had it got stuck - but she didn't - and this is important!  Go to C:\Windows\Distribution.  If there are files and folders, Windows Update works, it is simply not updated status information.

  You can check that from time to time, and while its download yet, he will continue to grow.  As long as there are files and folders there DO NOT shut down your PC!  This will force again when you reboot.

  Sorry... but you just have to leave it on and it will run its course.

  Good luck

• Deliver software in windows update

  We push our installation of the software via windows update. Even if it is related to the firmware, we don't want to prepare it as a 'pilot '.

  1. we deliver our installation of the software and its updates in windows update?

  2. If not, can we deliver our msi with the driver package that is installed during the installation of the driver like windows update process?

  Your question is beyond the scope of this community.

• Windows Update Web site crashes and restores, impossible to get any real updates (XP Pro)

  I recently had a collapse of the system that I was finally able to recover using the "Last known good Configuration" option, which seemed to take me only a few minutes after my initial installation of Windows XP.

  Everything is working smooth now, except for a few hiccups as a result of there being installed yet related programs Windows and trying to work I guess XP think should not be in the State they are currently.  I was hoping that through the Windows Update process causes XP then recognize my (updated) the current versions of Windows Media Player, etc., but there is a problem.  Assuming that my logic is good, that my version of Internet Explorer is not a XP expects to interact with.  I have IE 8.  To after my "Add/Remove Programs" list IE is not yet on my system.

  When I try to go to update.microsoft.com and proceed past the home page there are a lot of Flash and then clicking on and then brings back me to the same page with a small bubble in the tab bar that says "this tab has been recovered.  A problem with this webpage had to close and reopen Internet Explorer tab. »

  Any ideas on how I can get past this?

  Thank you!

  [The WinXP SP2 disc that came with your computer may be named System Recovery but it has nothing to do with the Windows system restore to not mix youself.]

  912812 predates the availability of both IE8 and IE7 so there is no way that IE8 is installed correctly. So if KB912812 was installed on March 13, 2010, the resumption of 'Last good' known Configuration you did (on or just before March 13, 2010) actually had a repair installation.

  Reference:

  How to perform a repair of Windows XP installation, if a later version of Internet Explorer is installed
     http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917964

  Translation: Since (obviously) not uninstall you IE8 before you've done the repair facility, Windows and IE are now in a situation "confusing." This explains why IE8 is not listed in Add/Remove programs and why you are missing so many updates (including security for IE8 was last updated).

  Your only recourse now is to backup your personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this stage) and then format the HARD drive and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that another repair facility (upgrade AKA on-site) will not & cannot remedy!

  HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

• 8007065B Windows Update will not install language packs

  In the past, I have installed language packs. It has been long since I tried, or needed to. Recently I tried to install the Japanese language pack, only to get the error of 8007065B, which I have found no solution for.

  I tried to manually install the language pack download Windows Update, and I said that it's incompatible. The same goes for any language pack.

  I think I can have interrupted an update a long time there, which gives a language pack partially down, or something similar. I don't remember very well, however. Maybe some file system has been damaged which causes all of the language packs seem incompatible?

  However, I am at my wits end here. I have no real understanding of what may be the problem.

  Hi Imrinfected,
   
  1. which edition of Windows is installed on the computer?
  2. do you have any security software installed on the system?
   
  This problem occurs if a previous Windows Update process did not cause the computer to be in a corrupted state. This prevents the installation of any language pack.
   
  Step 1: Check if the Japanese language pack is listed, if so, then remove
  a. Click Start and then click Control Panel.
  b. in the Control Panel, click clock, language, and region, click on regional and Language Options and then click on Change display language.
  c. on the keyboard and languages tab, click install/uninstall languages under display language. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  d. in choosing to install or remove languages, click on remove languages.
  e. under Select the languages that you want to delete, select the language that you want to remove, and then click Next.
  f. click on the language you want to remove and then click on remove.
  g. restart the computer and try to install the package of language manually in safe mode.
  If you are using Vista, so check out http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942903/

  I hope this helps.

• Why Windows Update service does not work on my computer?

  After a few months of not be used, my Toshiba Satellite L35 (Windows Vista Home Basic; Computer laptop Service Pack 2) can not access Microsoft Updates.  Whenever I try, I get a message "the service is not running" and tells me to restart, I did several times without success.  Norton 360, and Spybot, indicates no problems.

  It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

  It's like something has removed or disconnected from all the Windows Update process.  "Update history" produces a blank page.

  Suggestion 1: Get rid of Norton and Spybot Search and Destroy.  I do not recommend Norton/McAfee products, especially the suites (I recommend NO suites - simple is better.)  Spybot has been a good product, but a few years back, he just stopped doing as well.

  Suggestion 2 (cumulative, not necessarily independent - but maybe): cleaning of your Windows Update stuff...

  All the following items in the order shown - no matter what protection against that, you think you have.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

  Reset.

  Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
  How to reset the Windows Update components?

  Reset.

  Try to get updates.

  If it still does not work, try this...

  1. Start an elevated command prompt.
  2. Run the following commands pressing on enter after each line:
     
     net stop wuauserv
     CD %SystemRoot%\System32
     Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
     net start wuauserv

  3. Reset
  4. Try to reinstall updates

  * Important * When you do this, the following problems occur:

  • Updates that are currently downloaded but which have not yet been installed must be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
  • When you remove the Software Distribution folder, your download history is deleted.
  • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and Windows Update, you will need to reselect this option from the Windows Update Web site.

  
  * Note * if the problem is resolved and you can successfully download and install the updates, you can delete the directory SoftwareDistribution.old to recover disk space.

  STILL no?

• Windows 7 Windows Update problems

  I have a generic PC, built on Win Vista Home Basic, 4 GB RAM, 300 GB drive HARD, NVidia 8600 video. I have recently upgraded to Windows 7, but I can't get Windows Update runs successfully. Most of the time it will start and just pouts - Manager tasks does not display a Windows Update process, but has a SVCHOST process that is running the services of WinUpd. I tried all kinds of things of this support site... I checked for malware - MalwareBytes is clean and AVG is resident and happy... I have run fix tools but only get failures or no improvement. I checked the settings of BITS and WinUpd in services, stopped and started all kinds of things. At one point I tried to install Windows 10 but seemingly allows to check things out before you install the Win 7 update...

  Frankly, I have no idea what to do next. I'd appreciate really some guidance as to what then...

  OK, so it was just before midnight when the 209 updates have been made, 155, 54 success failed...

  Return to the mid-morning machine... all that failures and a few new updates were sorted on a new round of updates and restart...

  Had about 3 extra cycles since then, updates less less to find every time. Looks like I'm through it. Thank you very much for engaging with me on this - I have no idea if sting Event Viewer, or what that the impasse will be released or I just got lucky, but I'm so happy to move forward - I even had the icon "get Windows 10' sit on my taskbar, but which certainly can wait!  :-)

  Thanks again!
