• Windows update error: Windows cannot currently check the updates because the service is not running

  Original title: Windows Update No. Longer - Vista business functions

  Last month my Win Vista will not update, little matter how many times I try to do. I always get the error message "Windows cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running." You may have to restart your computer. "Control via msconfig reveals that he is ticked as"running ".

  I run Microsoft Fixit has several times. It is said he has "solved" the problem, but it did not work. Of course there is a corrupted somewhere file that needs to be replaced.

  Please don't say no "update for Win 7" or "Reinstall Windows" because it's not just going to happen.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  2. what anti-virus software is installed on your computer?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update.  You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

  Disable the antivirus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

   

  Method 2: How to reset the Windows Update components?
   http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
  Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

   

  Method 3:  If the methods above do not help, I suggest you delete the edb.log file and check if that helps.

  Follow these steps:

  a. click the Start button, click computer.

  b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log

  c. delete the log file, and then restart the computer and check the issue.

  Well, it's going to be a long Chronicle, but in the end, the problem has been resolved. Please bear with me:

  Running the program MS Fixit in the past without success, I tried to run the update after you temporarily disable AVG, my program AV. no joy.

  I then ran CC Cleaner to get rid of some of 'dead weight '. I even used its registry cleaning option (which included saves).

  At that point, I did some 'household', & began to defragment my HD with Defraggler. But since it seems to take forever, I went to My Defrag, who finished the job much quicker.

  Although I tried to delete the edb.log file using method 3, I kept getting a message system which was unable to complete this action because the file has been opened in another program.  In the end, I was able to delete the file, but fact directly through Explorer. There also seems to be a sort of small file edb.log, indicating that it was a "recovered" version I deleted that one as well.

  At this point, I ran MS Fixit, who States that the Windows Update components needed to be fixed and proceeded to do so again. Because he had allegedly "fixed" my Updater in the past, I was not holding much hope that this time would be any different. So, after that what he has done, I was pleasantly surprised, I might actually start updating!

  However, the update message that a new version would be dl before I could go any further. So I did it.

  When the new version is started, it ran for about 10 minutes, coming with about 50 updates. According to flush out those who were of no use to me, finally I had dl and installed all relevant updates. And now, the update seems to work fine.

  Once again, my apologies for the long answer. But I wanted to tell the whole story, as I did not quite plan of RajithR.

  Thank you!
