I can't receive Windows Vista updates on my Dell PC. My settings indicate I have automatic updater on but then I don't get the updates. My setting indicate I am able to receieve the updates (Updater is turned on) but when I go to MS Updater, my PC says to NEVER update. I have tried everything to correct this and can't.

Whenever - I get notice that new updates are available or - I start Windows Update on my own it always takes so endlessly long, although I have a normal internet connection. Therefore, when I try using a new USB Stick that has to download the appropriate driver it takes long and finally end in the USB Stick not being recognised by my PC. Sometimes the updates for Windows only appear on shutting down the PC. All other download (files, videoas etc.) work perfectily. Who knows an answer to this dilemma? Jean-Claude View this thread

Windows updates fail with Error Code: 0x80246008. Windows troubleshooter fails to start! Following things back as far as I'm able it seems that I lack .net framework 2 but that won't install either. I'm only an enthusiastic amateur here and I've no idea what has caused whatever has gone wrong. The PC is running XP sp3 and while's it's old it's fine apart from the lack of updates. Any help, ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, View this thread

So this is probably the 6th-7th time trying to do this. But to be honest I am having absolutely no luck trying to get desktop experience on my system.I've tried all the generic solutions: I tried doing the "Install via powershell" but with no luckI've tried installing Database via SQL, (Which the role actually installed properly) but that too didn't get it to work.Tried looking for the manual update, but I couldn't find it for this specific one. I tried using the update fixit tool, but it also failed, saying that it "fixed it" when it actually didn't.Here is my cbs.log file2013-04-16 11:57:51, Info CBS TI: --- Initializing Trusted Installer ---2013-04-…

HP is dependent on Microsoft to push their drivers now, very annoying for me, a help desk technician, to find drivers for HP for people that need to load drivers for their home printers. We have group policies in place that force updates to come from our servers which filter what updates are allowed to pass through. we found that if we have the printer we can drop the system off the domain log in as a local admin and get the drivers. However, most times the end user cannot bring their home printer into work, and even if they can bring it in, it is a huge hastle. Does anyone have a website where I can just download the HP printer drivers for windows 7 and XP? V…

Since several weeks I have following message: "The new updates couldn't be found automatically (important)". When i tried the manual update, there comes the following error code: "8024800A"! Have found no solution so far. System aktualisieren Updates Microsoft Windows. Ich erhalte seit längerer Zeit die folgende Meldung: "Die neuen Updates konnten nicht gefunden werden (Wichtig)". Beim manuellen Update-Abruf kommt der folgende Fehler-Code: "8024800A"! Habe bislang keine Lösung gefunden. View this thread

I can connect to the internet using a hotspot and my home connection does work on other devices (my husband's computer, smart phone connection, etc.) The only way I can get it to connect is to remove the update (I believe it had changes to Security Essentials which I do run). Once removed I can connect just fine. I have an HP 64 bit laptop with Windows 7. Since it's a critical update I want it on my computer but not if I can no longer connect to the internet. I've restored all security setting to the defaults and turned off the firewall for my home connection - still didn't work. Any idea what settings I should check? View this thread

Within the past week, something happened to my Browser. There was some type of Microsoft Update that changed my Brower opening page from Comcast XFINITY to MSN. At the same time, the favorites bar on the left side of my screen disappeared. At the same time, My wife machine was upgrade somehow and she can no longer access her mail account at work. I am not sure what other change might have been made. I am attempting to find out if anyone else has/had the same problem. Someone suggested that I look to see if the most recent updates completed successfully completed. We can get to the Webmail long in screen. We enter ID and Password but the system just gives us the mess…

Recently cannot install various "important" security updates - all repeatedly fail with error code 8000FFFF. Tried fixit but the relevant files do not exist in my registry. Read that installing KB947821 may help - system update readiness tool for vista. However this does not install. Package initialises and then just sticks on 0 progress. Have left for several hours with no movement. Also tried from a clean boot with no better result. I attempted to unistall service pack 2 last night having read this worked for someone, but on startup this morning messages came up saying this had failed and the system was being restored to previous state. Have installed Malwarebytes b…

Just brought a new laptop running windows 8. Whenever I attempt to get into windows update in the control panel, the entire window freezes and is impossible to exit out of. If I try to use task manager and end the task, the entire computer goes to a blank screen and I have no choice but to log off or restart. I have tried to troubleshoot problems and it found error 0x80070490, which it repaired but I am still having this problem. Any help would be appreciated as I just brought this product and am very distressed about it not working. Thanks. View this thread

I recently purchased a jetpack from Verizon to which my Samsung Lumia and laptop share the data quota. Last night I downloaded quite a few Micro. updates after being off the computer for a few weeks and this morning got a nasty email that Id already gone over my data quota. Of course I didn't even take into consideration system updates into how much data Id need each month but now Im glad I didnt set my computer to automatically download. (Of course, Verizon Wireless didn't take system updates into account either)My question is how much data should I anticipate with monthly system updates, Win 7. I realize this is next to impossible to answer but a guess is better t…
