  • In the search box, type command prompt.

  • In the results list, drag down on or right click command prompt, and then press or click run as administrator.

  • In the administrator: command prompt window, type the following commands exactly as they appear. Press the enter key after each command:

    • DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    • DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

  • To close the administrator: command prompt window, type Exitand press enter.

  • Run Windows Update again.

  • Windows updates will not download/install

    I have an Asus laptop that is about 2 years old.  I am running Windows 8 on a 64 bit system.  The laptop only periodically adjusts and downloads from previous update failed.  Now, when I start it tells me that there are 115 updates to download.  After leaving try and download these all day yesterday, he stopped, display of the progress bar on 99% c, but it will not go further.  I tried the upgrade to 8.1, but will not proceed until the updates are complete.  I had hoped that the 8.1 installation would simply replace previous updates that were needed - apparently not!

    I don't know what to do next - any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    [1] another option is probably just to let off Windows updates and continue to use it as it is.

    [2] of course, I'm protected by Norton...

    A1. Yes, if the computer will NEVER be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers).

    A2. I suspect your Norton application is not installed or working properly.

    Note: The computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  • KB978601 and KB979309 - Windows Update would not download

    Hello

    I'm trying to install all of the updates for my Windows 7 (x 64, PL), but both of the subject do not want to download. Windows Update all the time to see the "0 KB 0%. On my second PC, I also have Windows 7 (x 64, EN), but here all the updates (inside these two topic) were downloaded and installed successfully.

    Do you have some advice on this?

    eckko,

    The 'Ko 0% 0' indicates usually that updates were downloaded already in the system or that they are regulated, and the system is in a Quebec awaiting their download. Because updates are from April of this year, then it must be assumed that it is a new installation or reinstallation of Windows 7.
    Updates are intended to solve the problem shown here-
    Microsoft MS10-019 - critical vulnerabilities in Windows security bulletin could enable Code execution (981210) remotely

    When the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Try to install now.
    If they still won't install, and configure the system to boot from a clean state and see if they install.

    NOTE:
    in start-up mode minimum state all the 3 third party programs will be disabled. Unplug the network connection system it is or open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

    If updates are not always install after doing above, then contact Microsoft for assistance to get installed.

  • Unable to use wireless internet. In addition, my windows update will not be installed.

    Original title: extended error code = Oxfof4

    I have a couple of different symptoms. My laptop acts like it doesn't even have wireless capabilities although the exact model the same sitting next to her was a strong wireless signal (I still had internet capability on this laptop also). In addition, my windows update will not be installed.  I checked "Event Viewer" in system tools and have all sorts of errors. Error service Control Manager, "Warning b57w2k", code error Windows Update Agent and more. Still, the laptop doesn't move and accesses files, but no internet. I scanned with AVG and Malwarebytes 0 infection. Uugh!  Any suggestions?

    Many laptops have a switch that turns on or off the wireless radio.  This can be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  Read the user manual for the laptop for more details.

    The warning includes "b57w2k" seems to be linked to a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller (not wireless, wired).  You can click the copy (just below the up/down arrows) on the property sheet for the event and paste the content in your next post here.

    In general, the report that you have 'all kinds of errors' in Event Viewer is not very useful.  We do not understand what you're watching.

    Suddenly none of the printer Co. provides always the downloaded drivers more! And they all quit working, pilots didn't is more accepted, after problems with the Windows updates in general, seem to be fixed now.

They are too recent to have discs and HP and Lexmark refer to Device Manager find but none will install because they are not digitally signed.

  • kb2539636 security update will not download/install automatically

    Download Vista security
    I have a laptop with vista family premium, sp2, 32-bit windows. I need to download kb2539636 security update. It will not download/install automatically. The MS website shows three different files for this download. They are: a 64 x, an IAH64x, an x 86. Since I was a 32-bit system, no sounds just. Which one should I download?

    Hi Ranchman,

    x 86 is commonly used instead of 32-bit (and no, I don't know why)-if it's one you need for a 32-bit system.  I looked up the update here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2539636.  Then I went to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27017 and I think that what you want is NDP40-KB2539636 - x 86 .exe.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck.

  • Important Windows updates will not download

    When I checked yesterday for Windows updates, I see there are 11 important updates and 1 optional.  However, after I check/select the updates to install, nothing happens.  They do not download, so they cannot be installed.  I put my updates is installed by me and not automatically because I did once.  What is the problem here?

    Ensure that the Service "Windows Update" and the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" are running and not registered in the Services window.

    in "search programs and files" type "services" (without the quotes).

    In the results, click on 'services', should open the services window.

    Check BITS and Windows Update are listed and started.

    If the services are listed but not started, try to launch by right-clicking on the service properties, [general] tab, then click . You must be in a session of admin account to start or stop a service.

    If they are listed and started, then try to manually select an update by itself and see if it installs ok. If it is not always download it, then deselect and try another. None of them download ok by themselves?

    How long have you waited? There has been some recent reports that updates take longer time to download that in the past.
