• Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

  Hello, everyone!

  Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

  For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

  Thank you very much!

  Hi EvanaZgb,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

  I would say to first disable the anti virus and other security software. Then proceed as follows:

  STEP 1
  ------------
  Download and install the latest version of Windows Installer
  To install the latest Windows Installer, visit the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

  Step 2 now try to update again and post back with the results
  ------------
  Cleanup, utility to download and install the Microsoft Windows CleanUp utility. To do this, see the Microsoft Web site: http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

  Now try to update again and post back with results

  Thank you

• Check Windows updates never finished. Laptop Asus X58C (Windows Vista Business 32-bit)

  Hello

  I have trouble with this and maybe someone can help you. I already tried a number of thigs, I'm still having the same problem. Any help much appreciated.

  Question: Windows Update constantly looking for updates.

  I already tried the following:

  1. Windows Update left to run for 7 hours check updates
  2. Microsoft it Fix tool (scanned for errors - detects the error - corrects all errors except "Recent updates installation problems")
  3. Count - manage - computer Management - Services - stopped Background Intelligent Transfer Services - order Windows Update - deleted items in C:/Windows/Software Distribution.

  I would have reinstalled Windows Vista after I put a new drive hard in to the laptop.

  Kind regards

• Slow/svchost.exe constantly running Windows updates.

  What is going on? It's "Patch Tuesday/Wednesday" and updates are not just downhill. By clicking on "check for updates" some results in an endless search for updates and svchost.exe runs constantly on my computer this morning and continues to despite several reboots.

  It is obviously something to do with the Windows updates, as they are supposed to nd today I'm worried how and when this will be looked at in / fixed.

  I suppose that decisions to accumulate all of the updates in October and prevent users from having a choice in what they do/don't install has something to do with this current problem?

  (Have not changed the settings / installed what either, and I did not install W10 either.) The OS that is on my computer, now, is what was on it when I bought it so bar regular update via windows nothing has changed.)

• Searching for installed Windows updates

  I quickly to query for updates to Windows that have already been installed.  I use the Windows Update Agent API to do this, but it takes entirely too long to run.  The query I use within the theIUpdateSearcher.Search (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa386526 (v = vs. 85) .aspx method) is as follows:

  "IsInstalled = 1 and IsHidden = 0".

  This request takes between 15 and 20 minutes to complete.  It's too long for my application.  I was not able to find any useful information as to how I can speed or another alternative.

  I noticed that "Control Panel-> programs-> programs and features-> installed updates" is able to get a list of all the updates that are installed in a few seconds.  This was done on 64 bit Windows 7 SP1.

  Finally, is there a way I can speed IUpdateSearcher.Search for a list of the installed update?  If not, do you know how Microsoft Gets the list of the installed update in "Control Panel-> programs-> programs and features-> installed updates"?

  In addition, the code I use to run my query will find at (I'm doing only part of research then stop at about line 22):

  https://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/Windows/desktop/aa387102 (v = vs. 85) .aspx

  I suggest you ask these questions to MSDN or Technet because they are too complex to solve here

• Windows Update, error: "Windows Modules Installer has stopped working and was closed".

  Whenever I run windows update, and try to install an update for Vista, I get the error message"

  "Windows Modules Installer has stopped working and was closed"

  . This has happened for quite awhile and I tried many suggestions on the web. If you do an internet search, you will see this seems to be a fairly common problem, but I can't find any official solution of Microsoft. I am afraid that I do not receive the latest updates and security patches so would like to help with this question.

  Hi guys

  I had installed up-to-date antivirus software and my problem seems to start after an update from Microsoft. Do a search on the web and you will see similar stories. I spent so much time trying to solve this I think it's better just to do a re-install. Certainly not the resolution I had hoped, but appreciate this type of questions are almost impossible to solve the problems through intermittent mail such messages.

  Thank you

• Cannot search for windows update, error800700B7

  Original title: Vista 2. Windows Update says first major update but cannot search updates. I get error code 800700B 7.

  I fight with my laptop Acer Aspire 5313 since before the new year, trying to get my Media Player to work... trying to get my updates to load and I finally did a restore disk in desperation. I noticed when I did restore the Version of Windows Vista Home Premium it restored to was that for Service Pack 1, it should have been 2 Pack and registration of license # is different from that on the Windows label on the bottom. I downloaded the Service Pack 2 of MicroSoft.com as my laptop came with ANY disks and I thought I'd finally be able to perform the necessary updates and get at least my laptop up and running again as it was before the problems started. When I try to get the updates, it says I must first update Windows Update. I try to update, update and get tells me it can not search for updates. error code 800700B 7. Help! Please...

  Hello
  You can follow the steps and then check.

  Step 1:
  You can try to disable the antivirus installed on your computer software.
  You can see the following link.
  Disable the anti-virus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  NOTE: 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.
   
  Step 2:
  You can try to reset the Windows Update components. Read the following article.

• New error causing the Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 80246002 during the search for updates

  I use Windows 7 64-bit with Service Pack 1. Windows Update worked fine until the Windows Update Agent is automatically updated to 7.6.7600.320 in August 2014. Now, when Windows Update tries to search for updates, it reports "Windows could not search for updates" and indicates that the 80246002 error code was received.

  [UPDATE]  Since posting this query, I think I solved my problem by following the instructions described on the page "Update tool of the system for Windows 7 for x 64-based Systems (KB947821) [may 2014]."   I downloaded the file (Windows6 1 - KB947821 - v33 - x 64.msu) and then let it settle. He describes himself as "Fix for Windows (KB947821)".  The installation took awhile, with a lot of disk activity.  When he finally finished, I rebooted my machine and tried an update of Windows. It seems to work fine; He even found a significant update that I then installed successfully.  So apparently my problem the hotfix for Windows (KB947821) provided the solution.

  [UPDATE 2]  After seeing the messages on the change the DNS to resolve the problem, I thought I would add the following information where it is necessary:

  • I use the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer 11 and confirmed it works in 64-bit mode by inspecting the user agent of the browser.  You can check the user agent of your browser by visiting http://user-agent.me/
  • My Internet Protocol properties are set to 'Obtain DNS server address automatically'.  It works with my wireless router, and I've never tried to change it.

  [UPDATE 3]  After thinking I was safe, after doing several searches for updates, the returned 80246002 problem on my machine!  I rebooted my machine and my wireless router, but it did not help.  So, I advanced and tried the DNS thing: I changed the favorite 8.8.8.8 DNS server and another server DNS 8.8.4.4 and then rebooted.  Search on Windows Update is now successfully!  I am humbled and grateful!

  In my case, I got the window update 80246002 error code after I uninstalled KB2982791 according to the https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS14-045 and then tried the updates.  I have nothing clears the error (ipconfig/flushdns, rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, a few MS Fix, etc...).  KB2993651 being the replacement update I was trying to download and install, I decided to manually download the update from the windows update (http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=KB2993651) catalog.  After you downloaded and installed KB2993651, I rebooted the PC and then I was able to check Windows updates again without entering the 80246002 error code.

• Launch of Windows updates is no longer automatically search updates

  Original title: Windows 7 updates

  About 5 months ago, updates of Windows 7 has worked like a charm. I could reboot a computer, install SP1 from the cd and when I launched Windows updates he would find them and there we went. But for the lst 4-5 months it was harder to get updates and for several weeks, it is almost impossible. When I run the application updated Windows he's looking for is no longer automatically updates, I have to say it looks like. Then, the computer can settle there as long as two days before finding the updates. I have two computers with own loads on my bench right now doing so. Once has been looking for updates since Monday afternoon. The others finally fond some yeaterday late but now still looking for more. I tried the tool of Microsoft 'fixit' without change.  What happened to windows update to windows 7? My only guess is that Microsoft has run on a machine Win 98 486 trying to force everyone to go to 10 Windows. It is a totally unacceptable process that needs to be repaired.

  It is expected by M$, now we have to go through hoops

  If you are looking for an update lock on to a current install

  Switch your windows update setting to never check the updates temporarily

  Restart the machine
  Then you download this from your download folder run from there.

  Hello

  I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 7 Premium Edition on a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop after changing the hard drive failed. My first attempt at the time. After installing all the drivers I could find on the site of HP, I was up and running, but done Windows Update always looking. I tried all the advice, suggestions and driver downloads, I read it, but nothing works. Windows Update Standalone Installer cycles constantly as well. Almost everything I download to fix this problems requires stand-alone Windows Installer for installation. Coincidentally, Windows Defender does not update either.  Can someone help this newbie?
