• Windows updates won't find updates for Office or any other Microsoft programs I installed and there is no option to enable it in Windows Update settings.

  OK, so I just had to re - install Windows 7 on my laptop due to a disk failure (Windows 7 Home Premium SP1) and hit a brick wall with trying to turn on Microsoft Updates instead of Windows updates.

  I try to click on the link "Learn more" on the bottom of the page to update on the line "Get updates for other products Microsoft." and it opens just a web page with a graphic telling me to open my Start menu and click on Windows updates.

  Catch 22 is that Windows Update has no options for anything other than Windows. He won't find the updates for the office or any of the other Microsoft programs I installed and there is no option to enable it in Windows Update settings.

  Exactly what I am missing, and where has Microsoft moved the activation of Microsoft Updates page too, because when I click on the link need me to http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/thanks.aspx?ln=en&&thankspage=5 that makes a whole lot of nothing.

  Thank you!

• My Windows Update won't let me install an update. It gives me the error: 80072EFE.

  Also messes up my taskbar, it mainly turns white, which is not supposed to happen... I tried to turn off Spybot S & D and who didn't help (I'm not sure it would have helped anyway.) But I don't know what else to do, my firewall is odd.

  Edit: Also, its 3 updated. 2 of them have not been installed so... not sure. I have a Windows Vista.

• Windows Update won't update

  Hi all

  I have a computer with a new installation of Windows 7 SP1.  Unfortunately, Windows Update seems to work forever and never gives no results.  So far, I tried the following which seems to be often recommended for problems such as this one:

  (1) install KB947821 update

  (2) install update KB3102810

  (3) execution of the utility to 'fix' WindowsUpdateDiagnostic

  (4) restored to a previous restore point

  (5) installed the driver for my monitor is added towards the end of newspapers

  (6) Ran CCleaner

  Here's the log of update of windows.  Far as I can tell he's waiting for something else to happen before she continues to update, but I am unable to say what he expects.

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

• Notification of update won't go away

  Periodically, I find a text window small white small (approximately 1.5x0.5 inches) in the upper left corner of my screen, saying: "Dell Update / day/Last is your system scan (date) / Next scan (date)."

  The last scan date will be the date of the day, the following analysis will be three days away.  The little window has no border or anywhere to click on it to get rid of him and behaves as if she's not here - if I hover or click it activates everything underneath.  However, because I can't move or do disappear, I can't tell what IS underneath.

  As usual, just now, it is obscuring the first 1.5 inches of my Firefox address field, so if I want to see what's there / what I'm typing I have to resize/move the window of my browser (not a negligible amount of screen to lose on a laptop).  This thing will end by itself, but I have no way of knowing when this will happen.

  It's really annoying and seems to be a kind of fault in the program, PROBABLY, nobody wanted it works this way.  You can help me find a way to make the thing go away?  When I open the updated Dell and recovery program, it has no useful information, not even a way to follow the updates that I see, I'd rather widely this obstacle little annoying and useless.

  Thank you.

  Hello Mary,.

  I know that I'm probably too late to help you solve the problem, but I'll still answer my solution for people coming through this forum with the same problem. This solution was found on my Windows 10 operating system and may not apply to the situation of each.

  Here is a quick procedure to solve this problem:

  1) click on the button 'start '.

  2) click on the 'Settings' option in the bottom left of the start menu

  (3) in the search box (top right), enter "select icons appear in the task bar" and choose only the search result

  (4) you will see a list of programs with a toggle switch On / Off next to them. Scroll down the list and find "Dell Update", then assign the switch toggle on. (An icon corresponding to the thumbnail next to "Update Dell" will appear to the right of your task bar)

  5) click on the newly appeared icon and select "exit Dell Update. (Small annoying white box should disappear)

  I understand that this does not stop the box to appear, but it should allow you to remove it when it seems.
