• A strange question Windows Update (Vista HP x 64)

  I need assistance with a strange:

  My system:

  -Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit) digital cable tuner
  -Processor of Intel (r) Core 2 Quad Q9400 [2,66 GHz]

  -ATI TV Wonder external cable digital tuner + TV tuner internal

  After a few months everything works well, the other day, I could no longer use "Windows Update", which failed with various error codes.  (Will post a final later with update log because I'm away from the computer at the moment.)  However, I'm looking for a general hypothisis here, not a specific solution.  So Far, in any case.)

  So I tried all the usual remedies, stop services, rename files as C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, restart services, re-register all Windows Update DLLs, no joy.

  Try restoring the system to a point where I know that updates were working.  No joy.

  OK, I have a disk image (Macrium Reflect) which will restore all (including the MBR) up to a point where I know the updates have worked.  Reformat the active partition, restore disk image including image MBR, Windows update STILL does not work.  Of course Windows Defender does not update definitions either because it uses the update services.

  Then, I tried a complete restoration of the partition of the hard disk system restore then system restore disks.  Don't agree.

  So HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?  Restore the PC with a system restore disc image disc not back to the point where Windows Update works?  What is the assumption here?  What type of virus/spyware could survive a restore disk sector by sector, including the MBR?

  Is there some sort of a BIOS virus that could do this?

  What are the possibilities here?

  As I said I can post newspapers and specific error codes, but I tried all the solutions, I found online for these codes (and others) without success, until I'm looking for a general assumption of what kind of trouble could survive the new image and restore.
  
  I have disabled all virus, firewall, etc.  I've even around my router directly connected to the cable modem.  I ran hardware tests, no problem.  There is the HP Advisor software that is currently running, but he was executed before the start of the original system and at the time where I saved the disk image, and it does not interfere with Windows Update then.

  Add information - I ran at least 5 different virus/spyware packages to see if there is no virus/rootkits etc. detected and everyone was negative.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hi John94062,

  Thanks for the posts on the community forum.

  Reading this post the words "datastor" was what initially was out of me.  For now, however, each log placed in this thread of community reflects a date and data which seem to be some time long ago in the past.  The first was 27/03/09 and the second shows 16/04/09.  In my opinion, he must make a good backup, a clean format and reinstall - without using any Marcurim or any other image software needs to be done.  I also recommend taking off from USB keys or any other external media, as this takes place. Reinstall using the true authentic Windows discs.

  John94062, the image stands out as if it keeps the installation that causes the error.

  Be sure to have all disks in Windows, all product keys and all the software manufacturers, third-party CD/Media and their product keys before proceeding with this action and all data and important files backed up on external media before performing this action.

  Also, if you use a HARDWARE RAID configuration, be sure to check with your hardware vendor for any band perforated or any error causing corruption data.  Those that can be replicated to the backup.

  I know that it is stated that a new facility took place, but the dates don't seem to reflect a clean install.  After installation, backups that are restored on the system may have a bad file that can replicate itself on the system so try all updates with only the operating system on the System and before you install other software or backup on the system after the CLEAN install.

  Sounds drastic, but something is not reflecting more correct when all dates appear as some time before that happens the clean install.  We will therefore try a Clean format and reinstall using the genuine Microsoft discs, and not just any what imaging software then try the updates only to the operating system on the system.  Let us know if the updates install then.  If they then this is something which is being restored from the backup, you can restore a data segment at a time until the culprit is isolated.

  Please let us know if this helps you or if assistance is needed.

• Strange behavior of Windows Update

  Windows Update prompted me 4 updates of today, marked 'important', so I gave the OK to install.

  Then she appeared a EULA I had clicks before it would install them. I've NEVER been asked to accept a EULA for Windows Update before, so I'm not sure that its 100% authentic.

  The "update" which seems to be spawning EULA is "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x 64-January 2016 (KB890830)"-If someone can confirm if it is a real update?

  I had Malicious Software Removal Tool in updates before, and none of them have EVER prompted me to click an EULA. It's what makes me so suspicious of it.

  Thank you

  Allan

  Malware removal tool is safe to download the KB number is correct.

  He might invited you for EULA for a new year or they may have changed some things in this. However, in windows 10 I was not asked.

• Windows update fails-G62-225DX - bad startup a factory?

  My nephew came to me recently with a G62-225DX HP, concerned about safety.  Given this machine is several years old (recently handed down from his father - I quickly understood why), I was surprised to see she was always being basic Windows 7 Home Premium.  Without SP1.

  My first attempt to resolve this was to run Windows Update - no luck - immediately fails with "cannot run - services is not started.  Of course, verification services, yes I see WU and BITS running.

  So, like any good tech person, I check in the case where the logs and see various errors, including the constant complaints on the Crypto database being corrupted.

  Then, up to be Googling for these symptoms/messages.  I see many people with the same problem and a lot of suggestions on how to fix this (re - reg WU, STRANDS of clear/reset, flush/empty C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, catroot2 flush/empty, etc.).  Even seen one on the Intel hard drive problems due to replace it with a drive of more than 500 GB (this unit still has the original 320).

  Spent hours trying all the suggestions there, especially when people said 'Yes, that fixed', nothing helps.

  Since it was not something of value on this machine, I decide backup and restore "factory".

  Imagine my surprise when, after reset of the image 'factory', it has exactly the same problem - Windows Update fails, out-of-the-box on the right!

  I think to myself, it's crazy.  The machine is faulty from the start and everyone was naïve to not get Windows updates, AT ALL!

  I even decided to try the Windows Update Checker (supposed to perform before installing SP1) and it fails with ' Windows Update Standalone install encountered and error - 0xc80000247 ".

  So, I decided to run through the suggested fixes (from M$, no less) and all of a sudden, that Windows Update works.

  I thought, it's fantastic.  He immediately calls to > 130 fixed critical.

  After a few hours of download and installed, I restart only to get a BSOD - STOP 6 b - AAARRRGGGHHHH!  Tried to go through Windows restore previous checkpoint but that too fails with a mysterious error.  In addition, many Google hits on the 6 b says that it's a hardware problem.  But he was executed until the Windows update, with nothing in the case where newspapers to indicate hardware problems.

  Then, I decided to do a restore from the image of what I started with.  At least it ran, even though she could not be updated.

  I no longer dig and see a bunch of updates to the firmware/software for this machine, including the BIOS.  Even saw some strange 'Windows updates' HP.  I thought maybe it was something like the fiasco when the power management update for Intel processors had on machines AMD, thus paralyzing them!  Still nothing - WU still does not work!

  Tried again to return to the original image, hoping that maybe to install all updates of office/hardware/driver on a virgin machine solve the problem.  Nope-WU still does not work.  Even went back through all the suggested fixed (saved as .bat files everthing).  Nothing, nada...

  So, I'm posting here in hopes that someone has a miracle cure that I missed.

  Hello:

  I don't have a magic bullet...

  The same thing happened to me while working on a friends HP 8100 Elite CMT, Windows 7 Pro, HP original image.

  Would not install SP1 or Windows updates. I tried every trick in the book and after spending more than two hours, going nowhere, including restore from the recovery discs, I decided to install a plain OS W7 clean add drivers myself using the product key for W7 on the PC.

  It has worked well.

  You can do the same thing if you can read the product key of W7 on the bottom of the laptop, and your nephew can't live without programs that was shipped with the PC.

  In addition, if you format the drive and just install W7 on current partition, you can probably find the program of the installation files for the programs supplied with the PC in the SWSetup folder.

  Here's how to do when you don't have installation of W7 media.

  Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.

  Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.

  http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply.

• Satellite A200-10W: I lost dual-mode Touchpad after Windows update

  I got a satellite A200-10W. The touchpad worked well at the beginning. Then, an update of windows has been installed and I lost dual mode on my touchpad.

  It is for me a normal function as a touchpad, but the mode button does not work. It lights, it do give me the button options, volume control does not work it did not scroll even in normal mode either.
  I reinstalled the drivers both synaptics and alps, but nothing helped.

  How can I ever use dual-mode again?

  Thanks for any help!

  Hello

  Very strange I didn't noticed any problem with the touchpad after the windows update.
  I have updated my windows and then lost the sound. After restarting again I ran the update and the Øresund back

  But if you, it seems that the MS updates could be a bad influence on the functions of touchpad.

  Have you chosen the touchpad drivers just for the PSAECE series?
  The Synaptics Touch Pad driver to set the properties and the touch pad control functions.
  And the Alps Electric Touch Pad Driver allows you to set the properties and functions of mouse control.

  Perhaps you need to configure the settings again after the new installation of drivers touchpad?  :|

  But have you tried to update to Windows Vista again? Sometimes, you have to restart the laptop to get all the necessary updates that will fix the problems.

  In a value of the case, recover the laptop and does not perform the updates of windows

  Operating system: Windows Vista SP1

  Johnny,

  This fix is a little strange, but it works.  There is a patch of mshelper.de which I think is the Denmark.  In any case, the solution is in Danish or in another language.

  The link is:

  http://download.mshelper.de/mshregs/winUpdRestore! v27.exe

  When you open click on the button marked "be."
  Then click on Installieren

  A screen gray pop up, begin to reset all the settings of windows update.

  At the end a green screen comes press the letter 'J', and then press ENTER.  It's asking you if you want to open the windows updates.  I always say yes/Ja.

  As I said this is a weird solution but it worked every time I've never used it.

  Let me know if it works for you

• Windows Update 0% progress - need help!

  Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could be kind enough to help me solve this problem with my computer oh. I have a laptop HP with Windows 7 and it happened for a few days to a week about my Windows updates. Whenever I closed my laptop, the screen always says 'do not turn off your computer, Windows sets up' . After 2 hours it is when she finally stopped, but when I turn it on again the same statement appears briefly.

  I checked my Windows Update in Control Panel and it says I have 6 important updates regarding the improvement for Internet Explorer and my windows. So I tried to install these updates, but the progress remains at 0%. So what's the problem here and how can I solve this problem?

  Also, whenever I try to open Internet Explorer, it will still not open because it just freezes there. Firefox works fine and I have access to an internet connection, but I find it strange how my Internet Explorer does not work.

  Please and thank you for your help.

• Cannot verify the Windows Update. Error: 800700 C 1

  Original title: 800700 1

  32-bit Vista SP2.  Impossible to verify updates and cannot be verified manually either. 14.10.10 like that since. Can update Windows defender from microsoft site manually only. Run Avast anti virus.  The system analyzed with Sybot - no problem. Computer works well otherwise.

  Thanks for your reply. A strange thing happened! I turned on this morning with computer and Windows updated successfully! I'll see how things go in the next few days and get back to you.  Mystifying!

  WU, MU will not install the updates downloaded or optional updates selected. No error code is given, it remains at 0% for as long I leave or I cancel installation. I tried to install individually in MS catalogue still will not be installed. This is a new computer that I built in July and punishment, it has not been used. It's strange because for the first three weeks of this computer, I had no problem with the installation of all available updates, or anything else. Then when the updates of August were available I chose all security updates and install optional updates that have already downloaded click on the button and nothing happened, it remained only on 0%. My question is, is there an update that was given earlier that caused these updates not installed? I really want to use my new computer, but I don't like to run without new security and the latest updates. I had trouble before what do.

  I used all the security software listed above on all my computers for about 5 to 10 years and non of them are set to prevent windows update from working.

• Windows Update error Code 80072ee2__

  System - Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit, no service pack, Vista SP2 upgrade

  Cannot download updates.

  Before the upgrade, I removed McAfee then there is no antivirus, never any other summer friendly on the system.  Tried of the workarounds of the forum but no luck.  Cannot download Mcafee of McAfee.com but can download almost everything.

  Find it very strange.  Summer of construction, repair and modernization of the PC for 20 years and first became puzzled.  I'm a trained technician but can't for the life of find out me.

  Before the upgrade, I removed McAfee then there is no antivirus, never any other summer friendly on the system.

  I see. Here's what you do to remedy this:

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

  HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section ofhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

• Windows Update crashes frequently; requires restart

  I run Windows Update a bit now and then to stay up to date. However, WU was strange behavior for a while (months): sometimes it freezes with the window simply stay white and the cursor being the circle of waiting and sometimes it crashes when you click on the updates button control (once again the window is all just white). When this happens, I have to restart Windows - otherwise, I can't WU to work.

  The problem is that there is no error message and nothing in the newspapers - WU just freezes.

  I installed all the updates and keep my computer clean by regularly running anti-spyware and antivirus. This problem has existed for a few months now and I was not able to identify if I installed an update etc that might have caused this.

  I run Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, as an upgrade of Windows Vista Business. The problem WU is the only problem that I have.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

  PBylund,
  I would recommend that you go and try the option boot than dmw86 recommended.  After a clean boot, run WU and check that it works, then put your PC to sleep for a few minutes then wake him up and try to WU.  Also, before you try this, you must restart your PC and WU before testing and then talk the PC to verify that the problem is after coming out of sleep.  Let us know the results.

• Black screen of death after allowing the download of Windows updates

  If I turn off the Windows Update (never check the updates), everything works fine. If I put "Download updates but let me choose whether to install" I have problems. The PC continuously restarts itself just as the Windows password box appears.
  I find that even if I said not to install updates, it does not account for this and will forward any how. The stop button indicates that the fixes will be installed (kb973923, kb973525, kb936514 & kb956828) after some difficulties, I can get it to boot. And then, during the stop, it install another patch kb960003. Then again, at shutdown, it install another patch. I can't tell which one is installed at this stage because it is impossible to get it working again. Safe mode does not help. I have to go back to a restore point before I set windows update to download the patches use the ERD.
  Why it installs fixes when I told explicitly not to do so?
  How will I know what is\are the origin of the problem patches?
  I have to run my PC without updates, which is obviously not a good idea
  The problem began in late December, front, then it worked OK.

  Hi Mike,.
  Thanks for the reply
  I tried your suggestion without success
  But I think that I managed to solve the problem by updating the BIOS of the motherboard - it has not occurred since.
  Very strange, I would not have thought there could be something in the BIOS that could cause this
  Thanks a lot for your help
