My computer kept trying to install updates and restarting until it gave up and rolled back. I was able to install some one by one, but in doing troubleshooting it seems there are deeper problems. CryptoSys is not started and will not run when I try to start it (everything including msconfig show up as "Unknown Publisher", none of the Microsoft Fixit programs will run, when I try to update 3rd party drivers many will not run, and install type programs and also task manager takes many minutes to finally pop up. Windows Defender does also not start with 0x800726, but I'm not sure if that is due to multiple failed security updates. Finally, I tried system refresh and it wou…

Hi, Windows 8 Pro. I've noticed that even though I can download the stand-alone updates from Windows download center, and even though it will install regular automatic updates, it will not open/run/install any downloaded stand-alone updates at all. I've also checked the: Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsDefault ProgramsSet Associations and the msu file extantion is set to be opened by WordPad instead of via windows installer (probably). I've tried to associate it with the Windows "stand-alone" installer module (Wusa.exe) but the msg I get is: " Cannot associate file type with this program "... " The program you have selected cannot be associated with this …

I have been plagued with this error for months and cannot find a solution that will work. I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 SP1 32-bit. Windows searched for updates and they all installed without problems. I made windows search again for updates to see if there were any others and now I get the 80072EFE error. I have tried all of the fixes I have found on the Internet. There is no virus protection currently on the machine to interfere. Windows firewall is turned off. Other computers have no issue updating so there should not be a problem with the Internet filter or the router. I have had this happen on multiple machines from different vendors. I have tried both…
