  Original title: Windows Update problems

  I just got a new update for Windows 7 and got all my drivers installed. However, Windows Update is stuck on the screen check updates for more than an hour. Everything works except that, and I don't know how to fix it. It has updated two things: the Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 and update for Windows (KB958488). He continues to seek constantly and never find anything.

  Windows XP sp3 with IE6. All updates applied excluding this last batch with the numbers you mention, except for two of them.

  I can tell you that, just as usual, the yellow icon was present when downloading these updates were. Then he disappeared after that that they have been fully downloaded.

  Interestingly, I went to Microsoft Update to check to see the new updates and found downloaded after checked for updates, BUT when I dropped down the details for them they all showed 0 KB!

  disappears once more. I tried to quickly click on it but it does not.

  Thanks for your suggestions.
  I wanted to post back to update everyone on my current situation.
  I was going to ask your manual correction of the WSUS... when I got home tonight. However, at the start of my PC tonight the Automatic Update icon (yellow) was actually download updates once more and things work like they are supposed to. After the download, the icon shows the balloon which informs you that you have updates available and when I clicked on the icon it was admissible and that it took me to the menu as usual at the.
  Then, I tested several updates in the menu of the AU and downloaded. They were installed properly and allow them left unchecked the icon stay in the tray as usual.
  I don't know what happened, but things are now correct.
  You have an overview on why things "fixed", I would be interested to know the why of it. !!!!!!! It is interesting to me.
  Maybe the MS is really followed this site and or you guys relay these flaws in MS for the correction.
  Thanks for your suggestions, I've forgotten to be able to reset the update components!
  Finally, Syed:
  If you can relay the suggestion to MS. I always liked Windows and like the superior ability I have to control aspects of it unlike OSX (Apple MAC) however the link low is a win (including 7) WIndows update mechanism. I was lucky for me and my family, I'm enough common sense to know how to apply updates to avoid the problems of the operating system, but not everyone has this education and too many times same own OS Win with very little in option programs/software and hardware drivers downloaded) have more up-to-date flaws then seems reasonable.
  I would like to see MS improve WSUS and also more importantly still provide and ENCOURAGE users to take and the advantage of teaching material that MS can offer users to consumers.

• Windows Update error Code 80070005 - unable to check updates

  original title: Windows Update 80070005 error Code

  When I start my computer I get a message at the bottom right, saying "Windows cannot check for updates. When I go to Windows Update and click on "check for updates" I get error Code 80070005 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.   I read some of the threads here, but I can't have things work as they should be.  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  One of the reasons for the error 80070005 is caused by software running on your computer security.

  Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.

  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.

• Upgraded to 8.1 Windows update 80242006 on G500 error message

  Hi there hope someone can herlp me. I have 12 updates, showing as needing to be installed in my windows update to go on my new lenovo G500 but every time I try and install it, I get the error message 80242006. I Googled it and tried the suggestions with no luck, even if I still have one for windows 8.1 which I updated this notebook to spot.

  The missing updates are Ko 2987107, 2968296, 2972103, 2979573, 2978041, 2979576, 2977292, 3000061, 3000869, 2989542, 2998174 and 3000988.

  The problem would be because I upgreded laptop for windows 8 8.1? Thanks for any help, Peter.

  To reply to my message, I seem to have fixed. I went to control panel, troubleshooting, system and security and ran solve them problems that prevent you from updating windows, restarted and run windows update manually and have now installed the updates that would not install previously.

I get no error and when I click on "check for updates" it starts to check, but finally said «no important update available» Is it because there is no updates since July 15th or is there something wrong with my system to check updates? Please notify. Thank you.
