Windows can't check for updates


Recommended Posts

Using Vista Home Premium I am getting a taskbar notification that 'Windows

can't check for updates'.

 

The 'Check for update' button in the 'Windows Update' window reports

'Install new Windows update software' and if the 'Install Now' button is

clicked the message 'Windows could not search for updates. Errors found Code

C0150004' is displayed.

 

Any suggestions how to overcome this issue?

 

TIA

I, as well, am having the same issue. Code C0150004 on Vista Ultimate

32-bit. Event ID 25, WindosUpdateClient. I wonder if there is a way to

uninstall Windows Update and reinstall it?

I have this problem and I finally found the cause.

 

Looking in the windowsupdate.log I saw

I have Vista version 6.0.5840.16384 which turns out to be a pre-

release version. Thinking back, I got this install disk at the

Windows Vista Launch Preview and I didn't realize that it is beta

version. My question now is, if I buy a retail version how to I

install the new version but not change any install programs etc.
