• Code 8E5E0147 Windows Update encountered an unknown error

  Hello

  
  

  Vista has got an automatic update every day for a few days ago but every time the update starts finally fails with this error: "'Code 8E5E0147 Windows Update encountered an unknown error" "

  
  

  What should I do? Vista Help did not help at all. I got the same error.

  
  

  Thank you.

  suiobo,
  Go to Microsoft's download page and select the download appropriate for your operating system, then save it on your PC.  Then, run the update from your PC and see if it will install manually.  If you still have the error and then perform a clean boot and test again.  Let us know the results.

• Windows Update encountered an unknown error code 6b 7.

  What is said for the most part.  I am running Vista Home Premium x 64 on a machine rather top of range (Q9550 processor, 16 GB DDR2-800 RAM, fast hard drives 1.5 TB each, etc.) -specs factory, not overclocking, or something like that.  When I try to install the updates, Windows meets an 'unknown error' (Code 6B 7).  It usually happens when he tried to update .NET - and that's why I can't use Windows Live Messenger or all the other Windows Live programs, in addition to a lot of third party programs.

  I am really lost and don't know what to do.  I asked before and told to uninstall and reinstall all the old versions of the .NET, but also warned that the process was dangerous and could cause trouble.

  Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.  If you need more information, please ask and I will answer as best as possible.

  * Title *.

  I suggest that you run the following tools:

  In addition, the tools above do not correct the problem, you should look at thisarticle.  If it applies to your version of Vista so I suggest try download it see if it will install.
