Windows Update: Verification of updates

• Windows Update stays in forever fixed verification of updates - see the messages below

  This started happening a few days installing updates some was interrupted by a power failure.  When the computer has been restarted, updates has not started again.

  Now, it checks only the updates for hours. I let it run for about 4 hours now.  I tried everything I have seen posted here.  I ran twice the resolution of the problems.  The first time he said it fixed some registry problems but could not solve windows update.  The second time that he claims to have fixed problems with windows update, but it still does not work.

  I had the same problem since a month. I am running Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit. I tried every day to get the update of Windows to work even leave overnight.  I tried all the fixes to the closure of services and their registration, the use of the patch you have.  I was resigned to redefine my PC or having to buy a new (or a Mac) as my laptop does not Windows 10, then I came across this in a thread Windows 7 and I thought I would give it ago, and it WORKED!  That's what I did: first download manually KB3145739 starting from Microsoft Download Center. The link is listed in method 2 or use this link: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS16-039 make sure you download the package appropriate for Vista.Go in Windows Update and disable automatic updates by selecting never search for updates. Restart the PC, this will ensure the update services have stopped. Manually install the update that you downloaded.  Install it even if your story shows that it has been installedReboot the PCThen try Windows Update by doing a manual update, this worked for me and now I can download updates for Windows and Microsoft Products.  It seems to work for many users of Windows 7, and it seems to work for Vista. I have no idea why we do, but its rather pathetic.  It is perhaps a way to force users to upgrade to Windows 10.

• Why did my window Windows Update... what verification of updates... States NEVER checked?

  Why do my windows update see the window never checked for update... when every day I get 5 or 6 downloaded and

• Windows updates... verification of updates can operate for 30 minutes to 1 hour or more... How to fix?

  Operating system: Windows 7 Professional

  Updates Windows runs for an excessive time.

  How can it be fixed so that it takes less than 5 to 10 minutes instead of 1 hour?

  SFC/scannow shows no breach of integrity.

  Had clicked on the updates windows with CPU 23% and 30% of physical memory.  Updates Windows is still ongoing and spent 45 minutes.

  How you work up extensive delays in windows updates?  And how to fix this?

  If Windows 7 have problems to find updates, causing heavy CPU or RAM with the Svchost.exe process, use the reason that Windows Update could not automatically update the Windows Update Client.

  in this case, you must download the update manually, it's the latest version at the moment: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3138612

• Windows update error 80072EFD

  Hello
  I have a laptop of old P750 for 2 months, after they need to do a restore to a disk upward, I now get the above error.
  I then decided to do a cover of toshiba with a clean install and still get the same result of windows update is not not able to connect to the server.

  I tried everything I can find this error, including the verification of the proxy settings for WU, reset the proxy via CMD prompt settings.

  I noticed something interesting while control validation using microsoft MGA diagnostic tool, where windows has been listed as a hat, but note some reports as:

  Validation code: 0
  LegitCheckControl: N/a, hr = 0 x 80070002
  signed: n/a, hr = 0 x 80070002

  My understanding is the way to 0 x 80070002 he couldn't connect identical to WU or that files are missing.

  I have rebuilt that recommended such c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution records, turned off all firewall, removed antivirus / software malware but still no luck.

  It seems funny how the same thing happens even after a clean drive toshiba recovery.

  Any suggestions?

  HP Z800 refreshed win 7 pro 64... do not finish the windows updates...

  Newly installed OS - everything seems to work fine, except for the shot without end to WIndows update... Verification of updates. Apparently, this affects the update of Windows 10 as well. Someone at - it ideas? I tried all the options via the site help MS. Merci.

  Greetings,

  Please read this.

  You can wait patiently (updates will appear later) or there is a problem in the article.

  You need to reinstall Windows for the fix. Your PC must be isolated from the network when reinstalling windows. You need to download both updates and install before connecting your PC to the network.

  I used the fix of Ed Bott and it works. But I reinstalled Win 7 again. I wasn't going to wait for hours and hours to get the security updates.

  You can try to install these updates on the problematic installation of Win 7:

  1. apply the Microsoft patch found here. Disconnect from the network.

  2. install the two updates in offline mode and cross your fingers.

  3. repeat on Windows Update.

  See you soon!

• 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.

• On Qosmio F45-AV411 errors Windows Update

  Hi all

  Below the discussion with me and the microsoft support on the problem to my laptop.
  What can I do next? Thank you very much.

  Hi Jon,

  Thank you for your response and delayed apology.
  After that I will review the outcome of the System File Checker, it shows that there are corrupted files in impossible to remedy Windows and Windows system files. So the next step is no choice for the repair of Windows and if you have a computer of OEM manufacturer I'm afraid that you do not have to have.

  You should ask the manufacturer of your computer to this Windows repair. If they're going to ask you to make a Windows Recovery please backup all your important files, as he'll recover your computer originally manufacture settings.
  Thank you for your cooperation.
  Your patience is much appreciated.

  And I can see that you can not run the System File Checker and verify the disc because that do not have enough privilege to perform these actions. Now you can try to run the System File Checker and Windows safe mode disc, check

  1. turn off your computer.
  2 turn on the computer and when the POST (Power On Self Test) is completed, press the F8 key until you see Windows advance Options menu.
  3. select Safe Mode, and then press enter two times.
  4. connect to your administrator account.
  5. run the System File Checker, and check the disc.

  May I know the results updating form new account?

  Please let me know the results

• Code 80070241 in Windows update and "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file" when you try to run any program.

  Windows Update has appeared today when we started one of our machines, informing us that there are some installed updates. After reviewing the updates, we clicked on the "Install now" button, and immediately, it failed with the above error code.

  I tried to run regedit a reason unrelated, and it came with a dialog box error with "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. »

  After researching here and elsewhere on google and did not find anything suitable, put us in the Win7 disk, recovery tools and tried to go back to a previous system restore point (3 days).

  The restoration went well, restarted, but the problem persists.

  Then, we just tried to install anti-malware software, but when trying to run the installer, we get a different error message indicating 'ShellExecuteEx failed; Code 577 "and then the same message on the verification of the digital signature.

  The computer is running fine all yesterday and has worked very well since just after the new year when he has been upgraded to Windows 7. No material changes have been made, and no software changes were made by users in the course of last week.

  The computer is an AMD Athlon II X 4 with 4 GB of RAM on a motherboard Asus M4A78-EM, linking a 64 GB SSD, with a 250 GB drive SATA data/programs. GPU is a Nvidia 260, and it has a CD and DVD player as well. It is connected to our router using the gigabit ethernet interface motherboards.

  It was under windows 32 - bit XP SP3 up just after the new year. When we put in place the new SSD to replace a hard drive older than we have did a new install of XP (slipstreamed with SP3) and then used the upgrade 32-bit W7 Home premium DVD version to upgrade the system. Since then, the system runs flawlessley.

  On the machine is MS office XP, Firefox 3.6.3, AVG 8.5 and a few games such as the Turbine DDO.

  The main user account used to try to solve these problems and to run Windows Update and try installing programs is a member of the Administrators group.

  Firefox works fine, serve, and he plays the games installed very well also. AVG reports to date, with no problems and has detected no threat.

  However, try to view the registry with regedit, or start Viewer event or compmgmt.msc that all do appear the message "cannot verify the digital signature.

  ***************************************************

  Can anyone offer an opinion on what might be wrong with this facility please, and how we could do to solve?

  Cannot run chkdsk/scandisk as he bought the message "cannot verify the digital signature" etc etc.

  This morning, the machine began to behave differently - stop playing back badly, refused to start Device Manager, open Control Panel correctly etc.

  So, I reset the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, slapped XP SP3 in reinstalled, then upgraded to Win 7 again.

  Still have no idea what caused the problem, but it seems to be gone now - reinstalled the same applications, AV / programs anti-malware, games, etc and everything seems to go fine now.

• Question about Windows Update in Windows 7 links.

  Whenever I have run or click on the links to Windows Update to update my workstation at work I usually click the links on the left under the heading Control Panel home.  When I click on it it says "Windows is up-to-date.

  This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.  My question is, what is the difference between checking the updates link in the Control Panel Home section and check online for updates from Microsoft Update?

  Verification of updates link goes to a SCCM server only?  Just curious.

  Brother and sisters all the place!

  This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.

  After doing the above, you have now "reversed" your source of default update from Windows Update to Microsoft Update.

  
  What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

  While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other software from Microsoft, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

Should I download the version + 400 MB of site or there at - it another way to download smaller files for my PC only? Any help appreciated. Thank you! Here is the text I copied and pasted pop up I got.

  A problem with Windows Vista
  Windows Vista has stopped working properly.

  This problem has been corrected in Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1).

  What is a service pack?

  An update to software that combines new security and performance with existing updates improvements. Service packs can contain new features or changes to the design of a product.

  To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  Determine if your type of operating system 32-bit or 64-bit.

  How will I know if my system type is 32-bit or 64-bit?

  Click the Start button, right-click computer, and then click Properties.

  Under system, you can view the system type.

  The average of 32-bit and 64-bit?

  Both 32-bit and 64-bit refer manner that your computer (CPU) CPU processes information. The 32-bit versions and 64-bit Windows are designed for use in computers with 32-bit processors or 64-bit, respectively.

  For more information, go online and read this article for Windows Vista online help:

  32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions

  Check online at Microsoft Download Center to download and install Windows Vista Service Pack 1:

  In the end, P.S. - know what long and thank you in advance for taking the time to read and respond.

  In addition, unrelated question. Does anyone know why my computer would always have an icon in the lower right shows a storage device mass that I did not and when nothing is plugged into ONE of my USB remove locations?

  Ralleny,
  Regarding mass storage disks that appear, you have housing of memory card reader on your PC?  Usually they will appear like this.  I have a HP at home that has a Bay of 5 card reader to the front and I see the same type of items that you see. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• (this is the 2nd attempt) I have SP1 with first Home Ed. I have received no Windows Update since 11/11/09. I have no error reporting and no problem, I just get a response that my system is up to date.

  I changed my apartment av 11/5/09 and turned on Windows Defender because it was not find cookies to follow up on my system.  I also installed an add-on for Iex 8.0 two days ago that I must not turn on InPrivate browsing software each session.  I have run scans and run Mrt.exe and found without spyware or virus. I ran the event viewer, and there are problems, especially errors on start-up and shutdown delays and the fact that the security guard verification Center to see if I have an AV program installed.  But when I go into Security Center it tells me that my

  That's all the news I can think are relevant-thanks in advance!

  Redshift905,
  If you know if you're missing the updates?  Usually if you run Windows Update and it says that your system is up to date so that means that he has not found the updates apply to your system.  If you think that you get the updates, then you can reset Windows Update components and test again.  Here is a link with instructions if you want to do.

• Problems with Windows Update on Vista SP1 32 - bit Error: 0x8007000D

  Two updates have been failing install for me for several weeks. I finally decided to try to understand what is happening, and I'm stumped at this point.

  The updates are:
  Update cumulative security for Internet Explorer for Windows Vista (KB969897)
  Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Vista

  These two with an error code of 0x8007000D

  I tried almost everything I can think of, scanned for virus/malware, scandisk, verification of the SFC, several difficulty different sound of Microsoft, I even cleared out / reset Windows Update with several different methods and has run the system preparation tool.

  Then, I tried to install Vista Service Pack 2, perhaps thinking that might help - would not install either.

  I tried to remove the KB944533 and get an error. I have also tried to install a copy of the KB944533 but told me that it wasn't the version appropriate for my version of Windows.

  I am at a loss and no longer know what to check. I guess that there is a corruption in the registry (or system files) associated with KB944533, but I can't figure out how to get the installation routines for give me more detailed information.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. While my PC is functional and I have no other problems with it, I would like to be able to try IE8 at a given time.

  Thank you

  Success!

  I finally understood what was going on. This is a damaged registry entry.

  The registry entry for the key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component based Servicing\ComponentDetect\x86_microsoft-windows-ie-setup-support_31bf3856ad364e35_0.0.0.0_none_e9aaaad1a6a385a4

  content, which was supposed to be a string value entry for:
  Package_1_for_KB944533 ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ x 86 ~ ~ 6.0.1.1.944533 - 4_RTM_neutral_GDR

  Unfortunately, it was not of type "REG_SZ" but altered with a type of
  0 x 40000001, which was identified as a binary key.

  I could not initially remove/change the key, therefore, found some instructions on how to reset the permissions on your registry using a Microsoft tool called: subinacl

  After the race I could rename the bad registry entry and add it back in manually, by giving the appropriate string value.

  Now, I was able to install IE8, so I think everything is resolved. Going to update to Service Pack 2 for Vista soon.

• Windows Update error 80070246

  Hello

  I have recently upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1, 32-bit). Once installation is complete, I did the normal thing to go to windows update to get all the updates. After validation, it started to download somewhere in the order of 1 million updates (which is normal) and installed most of them without problem. However, these few finals refuse to install.

  .NET framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update - KB 951847
  For updates: KB850974, KB952004 KB953733 KB956802, KB957097, KB960803
  Update for Windows Vista: KB959108 KB952709, KB957388.

  Trying to install, I get the:

  Code: 80070246 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

  Things, I tried that did not work and why/how they do not have to work:

  1: Download updates manually and install them with the Setup program to update windows on the local system (from windows update program) I just get the result "missed" without any explanation.
  2: started 'clean' and tried both (1) and the windows update with the same problem
  3: installation of each of them individually (both in the release order and random order) as well as a couple at a time groups, similar (updates security, updates, vista, etc)... nothing.
  4: I went to the site of support here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942968 and followed the instructions verbatim, including the download and installation of Windows AIK... no change.
  5: I tried "sfc/scannow" in an elevated command prompt (I also tried to take 'ownership' of my windows directory). I got the following results:

  Start of the phase of verification of the scanning system.
  Full check of 11%.
  Windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation.

  6. I run Trend Micro Internet Security for which I completely from the program (not to mention the 'clean' boot) and tried without success.

  The only thing I can think to do then (apart from reformatting..) is the option 'fix' on boot from the installation CD but I only am not 100% sure who would fix.

  Someone at - it suggestions? I'm puzzled.

  Thank you

  W1ReD

  Hi W1ReD,

  Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

  To successfully install the update, uninstall all versions of the .NET Framework on the computer, and then reinstall all the versions of the .NET Framework on the computer. You may need to work through more than one of the following methods.

  Follow the steps in this KB article

  When you try to install an update for .NET Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5, you may receive Windows Update error code

  I realize that it is not specifically the error received, however, the determination is essentially the same.

  Publish on us and let us know if this does not help or if assistance is needed.

  Kind regards
