Error 80070643 installing Windows Update 2847077

Laptop running Win7 Pro x64 which fails to install update 2847077. I've tried all of the steps detailed in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/kb976982
Still cannot get this update to install - fails with error 80070643.
A separate issue on this machine is that I cannot get IE11 to install, machine is currently running IE9. When running IE11 install it looks to install properly however after restart the machine goes thru the configuring screen
then error out with "Failure configuring Windows Updates, reverting changes”.

Hi,
After reading more about this update, it appears that this update is a hotfix which used to fix the issue in these scenario:
You install Internet Explorer 10 on a Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computer.
You configure the AutoPlay feature so that Windows automatically uses Windows Media Player to play audio CDs.
You insert an audio CD into the CD-ROM device, and then Windows Media Player starts.
In this scenario, Windows Media Player freezes. Refer to this article:
Windows Media Player freezes when you use AutoPlay for an audio CD in Windows 7
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2847077
If there is no such issue on your computer, this update is no essential on your computer, and you can just hide it in Windows update to avoid this issue.
For your second issue about failing to install IE11, please check this article first:

80246002 error after installing Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320

This problem prevents Windows Update from being able to search, download, and install updates.
I am experiencing this issue on machines running Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 Enterprise (I imagine this an issue with Windows Update and not the OS so this is probably affecting other OS' as well).
This problem is becoming widespread quickly.
The proposed fix (method 1) in the article below did not resolve the problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958056/en-us
Note: Method 2 is not viable when applying more than one update at a time especially when you are updating multiple machines.
Several others are posting similar problems:
http://windowsitpro.com/windows-update/tracking-error-80246002-windows-update-problem
http://forums.techguy.org/windows-7/1132320-windows-update-problems-4.html
This is preventing scheduled server maintenance from being performed.
Could this be a targeted attack? Happening at the end of the week before a long holiday weekend is not leaving me with a very good feeling...
I would hope that fixing this issue would be a very high priority.
BTW - There is no "Windows Update Issue" forum category that I could find - If there is, sorry for posting in the wrong area.
Cheers,

My fix that worked...
Reviewed the operational log for the WindowsUpdateClient (buried in the Event viewer here:
Application and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> WindowsUpdateClient -> Operational
After review, I noticed that event 30 "Windows Updates established connectivity" was no longer occurring and that event 42 "There has been a change in the health of Windows Update" was the only thing after the error (Event 25 "Windows Update failed
to check for updates with error 0x80246002")
Even though the machine was restarted after applying the "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320" patch and I had tried restarting the Windows Update service, the service appears to be hung.
Solution:
1.) restart the Windows update service
2.) monitor the operational log for the WindowsUpdateClient (refreshing every 5-10 seconds)
3.) verify that event 30 happens (you should see event 38 after restarting the service followed by (2) event 42, then event 30)
4.) Once event 30 happens go to the Windows update GUI and run the "Check for updates" - yay!
5.) You can go back into the operational log and see event 26 "Windows Update successfully found x updates" followed by an event 40 for each update found.
What is really strange is that I checked the first machine that experienced the problem and it magically fixed itself.
It seems like this may have been caused by DDOS attack on the source for windows updates that the Windows Update service connects to. Or the source location was having maintenance performed.
Regardless, in my case, this was not a problem with the OS or the patch but the inability for the Windows Update Service to establish connectivity.
Hope that helps somebody :)
Cheers,
Jeff

BlueScreen Error 9f and Windows Updates won't install

I just got my new T430 machine on Monday, but Windows 7 is already having issues - as of the first day!
When it goes into sleep mode it ends up shutting down instead, and I get a BlueScreen 9f error after I restart. When I try to install Windows Updates (I looked up this problem and I found information on the biometric fingerprint software causing problems - a problem that might be fixed with windows updates) it keeps failing. While it is trying to update, my computer shuts down.
It's brand new (it's actually a replacement for my last T430 that was having too many issues), and I'm worried. Any ideas what the issue could be? Is this something I just have to contact support for, or can I fix this myself? I've tried searching online for solutions, but no luck yet.
Greatly appreciate any help, thanks!

Hi, cberk
I did some research on the issue and found this document from Microsoft. It seems that this issue can be caused by an outdated BIOS and drivers. Due to this, I would recommend checking that all the drivers and the BIOS has been updated. It sounds like a few parts of your computer aren't communicating properly, which is most likely due to outdated drivers. The latest drivers for your system can be found here.
Hope it helps,
Adam

In addition, would you please let me confirm whether install the Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 via

Server 2012 (not R2) RODC fails to install Windows Updates

Good morning all
Since around October, our 80-odd 2012 (non-R2) RODCs have been failing to install windows updates, rolling them back on reboot. Patches that don't require a reboot are fine. The short version is, please log a call with MS and reference this thread, if you're
having this issue as currently they're saying they won't fix this!!
Our product support group opened an official case and reported this with Microsoft and they've found the cause. PLEASE NOTE however, that this relates to RODC and ALL patches failing, not just 3000061 on non-RODC.
There was some chat relevant to this as originally it was thought KB3000061 was to blame, and a few other people had had the same issue there (see links at the bottom). I think however, that this issue now stands alone as any patch we try to install will
fail.

000113 [gle=0x80004005]
Cause:
The installer uses SAM API calls to manage the group. It always connects to the local SAM instance. The component also handles an uninstall task in the same function. On uninstall the group is being deleted.
So the SAM handle is requested with "Create Group" and "Delete" access.
The error happens because a RODC does not allow any changes and thus returns STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED.
More information about the prevent from accidental deletion feature please refer :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773347(v=WS.10).aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739350(v=WS.10).aspx
Recommendation:
This is a Bug in the RODC running on server 2012, However you may do an in place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 and then proceed with the installation of the patch.
The bad news is this is fixed in 2012 R2 with a hotfix - but it isn't fixed in 2012 and it won't be because.. they've only had one official report logged. And that was by us. So, if you want this fixed, you need to start logging this with MS now.
What I can say just now is that this isn't related to the registry fixes with WinEVT we've all been trying, it's NOT limited to 2008 that has been upgraded in place to 2012 (our product support group replicated it in the lab with a brand new 2012 promoted
to RODC) and it IS only happening with RODC. Possible fix might be to make your RODC RW for a bit and install your patches then.

The error indicates that IIS is returning a "404 not found" error back to the Windows Update Agent. That might mean that you need to specify the correct port that WSUS is listening on, e.g.:
WSUSServer=http://yourserver:8530

SCCM Client PC's failing to download/install Windows Updates

Hi,
Last month I noticed that our client PC's, shortly after they had built (using SCCM Task Sequence) were downloading and installing Windows Updates using the usual Windows Update process. What I mean is, I had Software Centre showing Updates as installing,
but also had the Windows Update agent installing various updates. It was also showing in the start menu (Yellow icon saying Shut down and install updates). Now my understanding is, that that shouldn't of been happening, and only SCCM/Software Centre should
be showing Windows Updates as installing.
I noticed that we had some GPO's set for Windows Updates, which I have disabled, as I believed these were not necessary. Also, I like to control my Updates via SCCM Software Update groups after testing them, and not just allow clients to grab any updates
that are required and approved.
My problem now is, none of the clients are getting/installing any updates. I'm getting the following errors in the WUAHandler.log:
Unable to read existing WUA resultant policy. Error = 0x80070002.
WUAHandler

WUAHandler
09/04/2015 19:03:29
8732 (0x221C)
So, I've checked in:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windowa\WindowsUpdate\ & HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
and neither have a WSUS server set. I'm assuming this is correct?
RSOP shows all policies in \\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update as
DISABLED
GPEDIT shows \\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Specify intranet Microsoft update service location as
Enabled and as our server (https://XXX.XXX:8531) - I'm assuming this is what SCCM client sets as if I changed this setting and then restart the setting comes back. If it was a Group Policy conflict then I
would expect to see it in RSOP.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm puzzled as to what to look at next. Is my first assumption of having 0 group policies configured for WSUS correct? Am I also correct in assuming Windows Updates shouldn't show in Control panel, or at the Start > Shutdown
prompt, and only show in Software Centre?
Thanks, and sorry for the long winded post!

Hey Jason,
Thanks for replying and explaining the WUA stuff. That made sense to be but my mind was being clouded by the issue all of the PC's/Clients onsite were, and are still getting. I cleared out the Group Policy cache as detailed on the link.
- Cleared C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Group Policy\History\*.*
- Ran a gpupdate /force
- Restarted PC
Issue still remains. Here is the output from the WUAHandler.log

Continued Error 800706F7 during Windows Update

I've been trying to perform Windows Updates for several weeks but receive error
800706F7 each time. I've scoured forums and Windows Fixits trying to find a solution and 99% of the time I'm pointed to the
3004394 Root Certificate update from December 2014 as being the culprit. Uninstalling this update normally allows updates to be downloaded and installed- the problem is fixed.
This is not the case in my situation. Below are some of the steps I've tried to try to resolve the issue:
Run 3004393 uninstall tool (doesn't work)
Try to install 3004394 so I can remove it again (can't install)
Windows Update Standalone Package
Windows Update Diagnostic tool
Start / stop: BITS, Crypto, Windows Update
System File Check (says there are corrupt files but cannot repair)
Check Disk
Clearing Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder
Various Windows Update Fixits from Microsoft.com
Uninstall .NET Framework 4.5.2
Re-validating Windows
Reviewing CBS.log, WindowsUpdate.log and a few other log files. I couldn't determine anything from them though.
After each of those attempts, and what seems like a hundred restarts, the problem remains. Any help would be much appreciated- I've spent way too much time trying to fix this!

Hi jpinney,
Some required information are needed for us to help you.
Please make sure your system wasn't cloned from another hard disk and time zone was set correctly, temporarily disable firewall for good measure.
We might need your Windows update troubleshooter results and SFC details for this issue
Run findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt in Command Prompt after SFC /scannow so you could get a detail report in C disk.
If SFC cannot fix your system corruption, you might need to manually replace the corrupted file with a known good copy of the file.
Also try fixing Windows corruption errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool

HP4501e "print spooler off" error after installing printer update

Motorola Android OS, getting "print spooler off" error after installing printer update... have rebooted both printer and phone to no avail... any help ideas?

Loralee,
?? I am sorry the computer is not working. I don't work for HP and cannot comment on lawsuits or other calamities.
If the notebook worked prior to an update -- and this is an entirely different can of worms and problems -- and you think that there is any chance the notebook is just in some sort of "tangled" state and not completely hosed for some reason, you can try the following non-lethal device reset:
Create a Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
If you are using a Notebook:
Close all your programs and shut down the computer
Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
Boot the computer and log in
Reminder: Hard Reset is just a device Reset. The procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way. This type of reset "clears the cobwebs". Depending on the root cause of the problem, this procedure can fix a variety of computer glitches.
This does not fix severe Operating System errors -- it is just a device reset. It can fix minor problems that updates sometimes cause.

I am sorry you are having so much trouble.

Installed windows updates. Stuck on "getting windows ready"

Hi Guys,
I've installed windows updates on our mail server (security updates and Exchange CU6). After rebooting the server is stuck on "getting windows ready". This is in our test environment for exchange migration(so I'm not worried if this is down for
a while).
The issue I have is because it won't get past this screen I can't actually view any errors in event viewer etc. I've tried safe mode, safe mode with command prompt and last known good config.
Any ideas as to how I can get into windows?
http://i.imgur.com/3TmnK2x.png (stuck here)

Hi NZ_Kiwi,
PLease follow the steps below:
1. please run the Windows Update troubleshooter in safe mode to find the error information.
2. A clean boot helps to eliminate software conflicts and to determine what is causing the problem. To perform a clean boot, please refer to the section “How to perform a clean boot” and
follow the instructions:

How to install Windows Updates on a 2012 Domain Controller w/Group Policy Settings

Hello All,
I'm having an issue installing Windows Updates on my Windows Server 2012 Standard with AD DS role, acting as a backup DC.
I have Group Policies setup for the Domain Controllers to download updates from my WSUS server but not to install them. When I go to my Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain Controller, I can install updates via the "Install Updates and Shutdown". That
option doesn't show up on the 2012 server. I can see from my WSUS server and the event viewer that the updates are being downloaded to the 2012 server........just no option for me to install the updates.
Am I just missing something or will I need to change the way my Group Policy is setup to allow installs and/or downloads? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Tony

So I've totally removed the GPO settings for configuring updates on the Default Domain Controllers OU and I can get the Windows Server 2003 Server to get updates from Windows Updates, but the 2012 Server still won't show me how to download or install any
updates. It just states on the log-in screen that there are "Windows Updates Sign in and install important updates".
Well guess what Microsoft! I've signed in and still don't see where I can install updates!!!
I guess because you've set AU=3.
There doesn't seem to be much documented in depth about AU/WUAgent (not in the history of forever), but Lawrence and others in the WSUS forum do cover a lot of related question about the agent and also GP settings.
Lawrence has blogged a lot of detail about the registry settings which are available for AU/WU, and how some of those settings are not practically of any use since WinXP.
So, even though your question isn't about WSUS, the WSUS forum is a great place to visit for help for WUAgent etc.
Anyway, "where can I install updates?" :
on the Start screen, Search for "Windows Update"
or
Settings charm
Change PC Settings
Update and Recovery
Windows Update
or
Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update

yes you need the updates and patches.
Only some of the drivers that Windows will automatically install at times
and always make sure to insure it is using restore points
do all the maintenance andsuch as normal
use MS Security Essentials for AV is really top notch
Clean disk space
Use WinClone new program to inisure you have a restore image

Windows has a software updater built into Windows and when you install the Boot Camp drivers then it will install an Apple software updater also. I believe Windows is set to automatically download and install your updates as does the Apple software Updater. They both will update the individual files it needs to periodically.
"Microsoft updates" and "Windows updates" are basically the same thing in Windows. Are you talking about the "Windows support software" when downloading from Boot Camp Assistant? Apple installs a software updater for it's Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7 so you can do it manually or automatically.
The "Hot Fix" your referring to is only for certain motherboards built from other Windows only computer manufacturers and does NOT pertain to any Apple computers.
If you have a problem with your computer then it's best to ask a specific question so we can help better.
