• 13 Windows updates fail to configure when installed manually, one at a time

  I just bought this gateway DX4375 a couple of weeks with pre-installed Windows 8 and had 86 important to install updates. Whenever I tried to run the update, they could not set up and took hours to undo changes.

  I've refreshed the operating system reset a couple of times and even including erase the disc without success after trying to fix the problem with all of the recommendations of Microsoft.

  Finally I tried to install them all manually one at a time. 13 (attached) of them would not move because he could not set up and kept breaking the updater. Some of them even caused the update history to be wiped and all downloaded updates deleted.

  I ran to the resolution of the problems of updating to correct errors, but they would still not set up. Even with the updates that are successful the updater is often broken and requires repair. Components Updater tool finds errors, but is unable to correct all automatic reset of Microsoft running. (attached)

  DISM.exe/online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth ran, /Restorehealth Cleanup-image DISM.exe/online and SFC scan does not. I can't update Windows 8.1 because there was no product key supplied with the gateway DX series desk top and updates failed is KB2871389 (the update needed to store) that fails to configure.

  

  Thanks Vijay, but if you take the time to read my post that you will see that I tried many scans including SFC on more than one occasion. When I finally got the 8.1 update win with the help of Microsoft problems disappeared.

• Windows Update fails, laptop breaks down at the restart, Windows 7

  I had to buy a new drive hard laptop to my Toshiba Satellite after the first one stopped working. I reinstalled Windows 7 and did all the required Windows updates. So I wonder to restart, as usual, and I do. The problem is, when it gets to the point where the laptop screen goes black, and it should restart, is not. It is just a black screen, no response to the pressing movement or the key of the mouse. I know that the laptop is still technically because that light on is still green. I let him sit there for at least an hour, but nothing happened. Then I had the power button to turn off the laptop completely, he did and he turned his back. The laptop then turns and begins to set up the Windows updates, but it fails. After that I can log into the computer, and I can see that the Windows updates fails. Now, I have done this several times and sometimes the windows updates will succeed, but every time the laptop computer fails to restart correctly, and when I turn it off and turn it back on, he always tells me that Windows updates fail to configure. The last group of Windows updates I tried to do, they all failed to do.

  I just looked at the history of updates to Windows, and these are updates that failed

  Updates to the title: original Windows.

  That means 'configuration of the Windows updates fail, returning from changes '? My laptop has been updated but got stuck on 12%, and would not go further. It is restarted 3 times and only went up to 12%.

• Windows Update failed - error 0 x 80070643 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 (KB2463332)

  Original title: Windows Update Failed - need help

  Vista 32 Ultimate with all updates, until this one: update Windows failed: error 0 x 80070643 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4 (KB2463332). Update has failed repeatedly.  I tried to restart, remove the update (even by deleting the file so it would download it again) and install again.  Nothing has worked.  Error 80070643.  Since it is not Office 2003, the error seems to mean a problem with the Windows .NET framework.  Don't know what that means.

  Looking at KB976982, I tried to fix MSI software update registration corruption issues (whatever that means) by running the automated Fix It by KB971187. Restarted, I tried Windows Update again.  Still didn't update.

  Then, I waited two days and tried again.  Even that did not help.

  I tried bypassing Windows Update simply by downloading and then run the file SQLEXPR32.exe from Microsoft downloads. Did not work at all. I then tried to run it as an administrator (even if it was already an administrator account, with no other account on this computer at all).  He started to run and then gave me the following error message: unable to run the SQL Server System Configuration Checker due configulation WMI on the computer.  Error: 70347 (0x112cb).

  Now I'm really confused.  On the one hand, 80070643 means I probably repair the .NET framework, which certainly, I hate to do because I need several versions of the .NET framework first uninstall and then try to install the compmonents, and I'm afraid something would go wrong.

  On the other hand, the 70347 (0x112cb) error message seems to indicate the problem is completely different and has to do with WMI, which probably has to do with permissions and I have no idea how to solve this problem.  (And why it all of a sudden would be any problem with permissions?)  This computer is not on a corporate network and has only one user account, the administrative account).  I have looked at Services and Applications in computer management, where there are WMI control, but nothing shown that I can possibly change and not the SQL Server Configuration Manager under it, which doesn't seem to have much either.

  Help!  Please...

  And now I also tried to fix it, just in case where, the .NET framework (Panel > programs and features > Microsift.NET framework Client profile 4 > uninstall/change > fix it), and the Windows Update tried again (including reboot).  Still no.  Everything I try, it is not to do nothing, pardon my language.  People smarter than me, pleasehelp!

  Hello

  As a measure of protection I suggest that you take the precaution to create a system restore point before editing the registry, to guard against unintended consequences. Select Start, Control Panel, system, System Protection, and then click Create.

  Select Start, run, type regedit and press the ENTER key. Navigate to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT

  As an additional guarantee, right-click on WINEVT and select export on the menu drop-down. Name the file and note the folder where it is located. Then, you can cancel the action later by selecting file import in Regedit and bring the exported registry key.

  Now, delete the contents of the WINEVT and restart your computer and try Windows Update again.

• KB3000061 Windows update fails to 98%

  Original title : Windows 8 Windows 7 upgrade (first update of Windows fails to 98%)

  I tried (twice) to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 using a burned DVD of ISO file downloaded from the Microsoft store (a year ago, long story why I do apply now the upgrade), using the option to keep my programs and files and I get to Windows 8 without any problem , but the first update of Windows says you need to install more than 100 updates and downloads all works OK, each of them, don't reboot, and then he said installation fails at startup to 98% applied and starts to recover (delete all updates). How I've frustrated, turn off the computer and restore Windows 7 using the repair CD and my image to my external hard drive backup. Who completes without error, and I'm back on Windows 7 running stable.

  In any case, it is a Lenovo m58 ThinkCenter desktop computer, and Lenovo said on their website that it comes with partition recovery of Windows 7 (which is correct) and that Windows 8 will run on this hardware (which I can't prove).

  Windows 7 is running stable with all the updates of Windows applied. SFC / SCANNOW runs since the prompt Administrator without any problem. CHKDSK /F is running without any problems. So I don't think that my Windows 7 installation is corrupt.

  Should I wait for this upgrade to work? Or do I have to give up the upgrade and return to a clean install of Windows 8, keeping nothing? (Which would have cost me more money, since I did not install media for CD/DVD burning program and other programs provided by Lenovo on the Windows 7 recovery partition). Your advice please.

  [Previous title: Windows updates fail 98%]

  OK, my Lenovo desktop computer is running Windows 8 Pro 64 bits. All Windows updates are applied.

  The only update that failed was KB3000061. According to Microsoft TechNet "KB3000061 configuration windows updates failed, returning changes", this update has no other people who (like me) upgraded a Windows 7 computer to Windows 8. The solution is simply to export and delete a single registry keys, restart and re - apply KB3000061.

  https://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/33f2c4bb-85D5-47F3-80dc-101158fd34bf/kb3000061-failure-configuring-Windows-updates-reverting-changes?Forum=w8itprogeneral

  A lot of my time spent in getting this computer updated from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Personally, I wish that Microsoft would update KB3000061 so that it deletes the registry key which should not be present, rather than 'failure configuration windows updates, changes the way back '.

  Thanks to Chandrashekar.K.B and the XP ROCKS! for the suggestions, I have taken during execution of this update.

• 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.

  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.
