• Windows 7 update problem. 0 x 80070057

  Recently, I tried to run updates on my PC and it initially had issues where the download would be stuck on 0% and never download anything, if the download would be 100 MB or a 1 bit is important.

  I ran the update of Windows Diagnostic Toolkit and constantly got an error/problem with code 0 x 80070057 and now since then I can't even check the updates of windows. When I run the windows update tool from the system setting it'll just "load" at all times and don't get any where...

  I am very very frustrated by this issue and would really help if someone else encounter similar issues, or a team em directly since it is a question of bad that I can't even run a check for updates when they are meant to be so important for the safety of my OS...

• Downloaded the latest Windows 7 update yesterday, November 3, 2009 and lost all my "Favorites" in MSN. Also, when I do a reboot, the Verizon FIOS Media Manager starts. Only the downloaded last update - has nothing else. Please notify

  Downloaded the latest Windows 7 update yesterday, November 3, 2009 and lost all my "Favorites" in MSN. Also, when I do a reboot, the Verizon FIOS Media Manager starts. Only the downloaded last update - has nothing else. Please notify

  Yes I have FIOS Media Manager installed, but I've done since the start of Windows 7.  For the first week or so it does not start on my download restarts.  It started with this Nov 3 update from Microsoft.  I went to downloads and there were two of them; Update for Internet Explorer 8 for x 64 based and updated Windows Defender definition.

  After you install these two updates on restart FIOS M.M. was live at startup and my favorite MSN have disappeared.  I disabled FIOS M.M., but somehow, he has been activated with this download.  I went on my drive external backup and recovered the Favorites but am always intrigued by this phenomenon and how it changed my registry.

• Vista - Windows Live Update problem

  I have a problem installing the components of Windows Live Essentials.  I managed to install by email.  Now, I try to add a few other components.  I get a window saying: "We must take care of some things first" - "install Windows Platform Update.  I thought I already did.  In any case, I click on the link 'get Windows Platform Update' and am presented with instructions that tell me to go run "Windows Updates" and view the updates available.  Because I am running Windows Vista, he said I should run "Update platform for Windows Vista (KB971644)".  However, there is no update platform listed at all.

  What should I do?  If anyone can offer a suggestion, would you also send me an email with your suggestion (s)? E-mail address is removed from the privacy * thank you very much.

  Some how Windows Update has been extinguished. I went to control panel - automatic updates and it won't allow me to select automatically download the updates. I then went to the Security Center, and still I am unable to change the setings to auto-download?

• Windows XP update problems: need to install before April 8, 2014, updated

  I have a new PC Dell Optiplex 330 which have been stored since purchased. It was purchased as spare and never fed until last week. I've updated Internet Explorer to the version of Internet Explorer 8. I installed AVG Antivirus from 2014. Then I connected to Microsoft Windows Update to update the system to include all available updates until April 8, 2014 end support.  As of today, I was not able to install these updates including XP Service Pack 3. Is the Microsoft Windows XP update system completely off, or is the pre-April 8 updates always available?

  You will need to update to SP3 to get the updates, I think.

  Go here to get SP3, install, and then I hope that you will be able to get the updates from there.

  And since you didn't say if your computer has SP2, I included a link for him just in case.

  The two links are good for the Microsoft Download Center.

• Itunes and Windows 7 update problems

  Well, I have a question for all of you who are technically gifted with computers.

  About two years my automatic updates for Windows 7 (64-bit SP1) has stopped working. Whenever I shut the computer down it would try to fail to install 40 of updates. I contacted Microsoft Tech that had me working with a level one and level 2 tech with no luck. In the end, I made the decision (finally not wise) just turn off updates.

  Fast forward to today. I tried to buy something from iTunes, but because my current iTunes was so far out of date (I rarely bother the upgrade whenever he asks) it did not work. No problem, I just downloaded the upgrade. Anyway, the installation failed, and now my iTunes does not... After digging a bit it seems that it's because Windows has not been updated in so long. As concise as possible here is what I tried so far;

  1. When iTunes was not installed it is because of the Apple Application do not install it. Everything else seems to be loaded to the right computer. So I extracted the installation individually with WinRar files and tried to install just the Apple Application (64 bit) only. But this does not work, when installing, I get the message;

  An error occurred during the installation of assembly ' policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type = 'win32-policy', version = '8.0.50727.6195", publicKeyToken ="1fc8b3b9a1e8e3b", processorArchitecture ="amd64 ". See Help and support for more information. EDH...

  It is at this time that I read online that people with my problem followed it back to the question of the Windows updates;

  2. I ran a scan disk error checking, run a total of three times, once to automatically challenge errors, then back to search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, and then a third time on the two while in safe mode. No luck. When I try and update Windows manually screen just sits there with the Green infinite loading bar.

  3. I ran sfc/scannow in cmd in normal and safe mode, once again, no change.

  4. I tried to install the Windows Update Standalone (I guess reinstalling the actual update of the program, rises like fix for Windows KB947821) it just sits there once the installation starts and will not be finished.

  5. I tried to clear the cache for the update, enter services, stopping the Background Intelligence Transfer Service and update of Windows and then delete all the files in the update, this at least reset the updater, then when I tried to download the updates again, I got an error (can't remember what it was, but it started with an "eight") and then some so I came back to the Green loading bar of doom...

  6. I also tried to run this Reset_Windows_Update_History.bat in a command prompt, but it did nothing.

  7. He was also something else that I tried to run in a command prompt to a forum, but that no longer works.

  I've probably tried a few other things too... I just want to get my iTunes works again, my laptop is almost eight years old, so I don't have the Windows CD to reinstall it, and I don't want to 'upgrade' to another windows program. Suggestions/alternatives?

  Thank you!

  Hi Petedln,

  It seems that you already do all troubleshooting steps for your concern.

  You can also do the following:

  1. Run the System Update Readiness Tool.
  2. Clean boot the computer.

  If the problem persists, try to create another user profile, and run Windows update from there.

  Let us know how it goes.

  Kind regards.

• Help, Windows vista updated suddenly out of nowhere and now it stops and restarts everytime I turn it on.

  I was online when suddenly windows updated and rebooted on its own. When I signed up in the hour glass repeated "busy", and then it suddenly takes me to this error page. It gives me only like five seconds to read, then it tries to restart. It seems to work only in safe mode. It's a HP dv6 Windows vista I got like a month ago, and the only programs I have installed were firefox, and boldness.

• Windows 7 update problem X220T KB3097877

  After the update to KB3097877, my laptop starts with the connection icons. If I click on the user icon, the screen changes, but after a few seconds is just shows the icons of connection again. Research on the web suggests that the question of the cause is related to the touchscreen. Microsoft has corrected the updated with a revised file.

  My problem is that I can't go past the login screen to uninstall the update. The computer is my son and he had to buy it through high school, that he went. I have no boot disk and there is no dvd drive. Try to restore it does not work because it asks for a disc.

  Any ideas on how I can overcome this issue so I can uninstall it? Thanks for any help you can provide.

  Good news! I kept pressing the Windows key and the R key at the same time because that's what the MS tech told me to do the first time. It doesn't seem to do anything, but after a while, I noticed the shutdown/restart/sleep button had a point exclamation and when I clicked it, it installed more than updated and now it works. Do not know what causes this late response but I'm happy to have it fixed. Thanks to everyone who helped with their comments.

• Windows 7 update problem

  I have Windows 7.  Upward until October 2010, I was able to run Windows Update, receive updates, and install them.  Now when I run Windows Update, the download is in progress, but the status bar remains at 0% and 0 kb.  As a result, no update is downloaded.

  No guarantee Cela will fix the problem but SFC is a good starting point.

  Run the SFC/scannow command. This will check and repair if necessary all of the critical Windows system files.

  Click on start / all programs/accessories then
  Right-click on the command prompt option and select "Run as Administrator".
  At the command prompt, enter: SFC/scannow
