Administrators AWS Posted March 14, 2013 Administrators Posted March 14, 2013 When I check for windows updates on my Windows 7 x64 it gives me a message that says "To check for updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update. Your automatic updating settings will not change." Then I hit Install Now and it gives me "Windows could not search for new updates. An error occured while checking for new updates for your computer. Error Code 800B0001 Windows Update encountered an unknown error." I tried using the Microsoft Fix-it in the windows update help AS WELL as the separate one from the microsoft website, however, neither one has worked. They say that there were errors and that the program fixed them, but then it still doesn't work and I get the same messages. I tried installing the Hotfix for windows update, however it says successfully installed, however once again I get the same messages. View this thread
