  Windows could not search for new updates and gives the error code "80004002" I tried to reinstall UpdateAgent (fatal error encountered) and I tried the MSFixIt and the automatic troubleshooter. Also tried everything to this forum and nothing helps: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/460975/windows-update-code-80004002/

  When I try the "sfc/scannow" it gives me that he can't sweep.

  I have looked everywhere and tried everything. Help me the microsoft community, you're my only hope.

  Hello

  Thank you for your update on the issue.

  Since you have already done SFC scan, I suggest you perform a repair installation (upgrade Inplace). There seems to be some corruption of system files and the repair facility should be able to fix them.

  Note: before proceeding with the installation of repair, I suggest you make a backup of all your data.

  Backup your files: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-your-files

  I get the message above for about 6 months, really since I tried to install updates including IE9, it went to the wall. It seems that the history of all my previous updates have the problem dissappeared also.

  I searched in different forums and tried several solutions but no evail, but some people do not seem to have been lucky enough to rectify the issue even if I do not deliver hope immediately.

  I am running Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1720, but I don't have any software recovery to help me as far as I know that I'm running as the administrator should therefore not be permissions issues, but please also no matter what advice would be welcome.

  If everything fails to buy Vista or a version?

• "Windows could not search for new updates" error Code 80041054

  Almost SIX months to find a solution to this problem.  Countless emails, phone calls, try this and try that.  I bought this laptop in May and was NEVER able to perform an update.  I tried everything I can think of and everything that has been proposed in e-mail from Microsoft.  I gave up any type of phone support - repeated "disconnection".  I can't reinstall Windows Vista because it came pre-installed.  I'm really just fed up.  I bought Office and Outlook - or work correctly.  I bought some software today (Roxio VHS to DVD) and I am unable to use it because it requires an update of Windows!  I did some research on this and found others with the same problem that dates back to 2007 - not answers on the Microsoft forums!

  Any ideas?  I tried Mr. Fix - it.  I downloaded the standalone installer - took about 45 minutes of so-called 'install' - and then nothing!  He never did any kind of scan and now I can't even find it on my computer.  I'm ready to make the leap to a Mac.

  It comes with Vista, upgrade install and activate Forum.

  5. click on the button 'Start' in the 'Search' box type " %windir%" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  6. in the opened folder, find the folder named "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution".

  7. right click on the folder, select "Rename" and type " Sdold " (without the quotes) to rename this folder.

  8. still in the window "Administrator: command prompt", type the command " net start WuAuServ" (without the quotes) in the opened window to restart the service Windows updates.

  Hi Discopossum,

   

  How long have you encountered this problem?

  Method 1: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try
  Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

  Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

  Method 2: Try to install the program as an administrator do a right click on the program installation files and select run as administrator, click on continue if you are prompted to confirm.

  Method 3:  Clean boot the computer and then try to install ITunes

  Follow step 1 in the link below,
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  Method 4:  Run the fixit available in the article below to reset the Windows Update components

• Windows 7 could not search for new updates code error C80003FA

  I just activated Windows 7. When I tried to update, I have "Windows 7 could not search for new updates C80003FA error code".

  Tried three times with the same result. Could someone, please?

  C80003FA ReadVerifyFailure - a read verification error occurred.

  1. What is the suite of security/antivirus installed?
  2 is a 3rd party firewall installed?
  3 - is an upgrade to another edition of Windows?

  Please click on the round of departure. In the search field type programs and files in wups2.dll

  Under programs right click wups2.dll and choose Properties, when the Properties window opens, click the Details tab.
  Version of the file and the product should be showing 7.4.7600.226
  Now do the same for c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
  He, too, should show file version and product like 7.4.7600.226
   
  If the version is earlier than that, you will need to install the more recent Version of the Windows Update Agent.
  The easiest way to do this is therefore download and Save the Fixit found here - How to reset the Windows Update components?
  Once the download completes close all open programs and browsers.
  Run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.

  BUT, if the installed firewall antivirus/security suite or a 3rd party is causing the "reading check error" then the Fixit may/does not work.
  If this is the case, then Configure the system to boot after download and Save the Fixit.
  Then, run the Fixit after the reboot to clean boot state.
  Restart and Cancel the clean boot steps, restart again to normal Windows mode.
  
  NOTE: in the boot minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. When you run the Fixit either unplug the system from it is the network connection or make sure the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on by opening the control panel > Windows Firewall.
