Establishing Windows update after OS crash & recovery

Hello: After running a recovery of Windows XP professional and updating it to SP3, I am unable to establish contact Windows Update to download remaining fixes. Ran MS "Fixit" App, but no luck. Tried to upgrade MS Explorer to 8 from 6 and no luck.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Please post windowsupdate.log file.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 1334us won't start after windows update, stuck in Error Recovery

    My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6 1334us with 32bit-windows 7. The computer did automatic updates and when it started up said there was another one avaliable through WIndows Updater. I installed the update and it said the computer needed to restart for the update to take effect. I choose to restart and the computer wouldn't boot back up, it boots to the 'Windows Error Recovery' screen where my options are 'Launch Startup Repair (recommended)' and 'Start Windows Normally'. When I select the repair, it says it loads windows files, then goes back to the error recovery screen. When I choose to start normally, it freezes the second it trys to start, flashes a blue screen and then returns to the Error Recovery page again.

    Please follow the steps in the following document to troubleshoot and fix the boot issue that you are facing.

  • Windows 8.1 Professional x64: Windows will not run Windows Update after fresh install

    Greetings everyone.  I'm having a strange issue that I can't seem to figure out.  I'm developing an image with the following specs:
    Hardware:
    Dell XPS 12 Ultrabook Convertible
    Haswell i7
    8 GB RAM
    256 SSD HD
    Software:
    Windows 8.1 Professional x64
    Problem description:
    After formatting and partitioning the hard drive (UEFI) with a corporate copy of Windows 8.1 x64, the laptop is booted up in Audit mode.  No OEM drivers or software is installed.  Windows is then activated to the KMS server and verified. 
    I then connect to a hotspot (no proxy required) and open up IE 11.  I click tools and select Windows Update.  The laptop then searches and searches for updates and never finds any.  I've let it search for over 10 hours.  The laptop never
    returns an error message.
    Troubleshooting performed:
    1.  I've tried different copies of Windows 8.1 - same result.
    2.  I've tried installing the OS with different types of media (external hd and multiple bootable USB drives) - same result.
    3.  I've disable the Windows Update service, deleted the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder, restarted the Windows Update service and rebooted laptop - same result
    4.  I've installed this copy of Windows 8.1 on different models of laptops with no OEM drivers or software installed - same result.
    5.  I've installed all of the OEM device drivers in the correct order and ensured that the device manager is clear of bang signs - same result.
    6.  Date and time is set correctly.
    Has anyone else experienced this with Windows 8.1 x64?  If I take a copy of Windows 7 x64 or 8 x64 and install it on this laptop, it updates Windows without any issues.  The problem seems to be with Windows 8.1.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

  • How to fix Windows update after refresh?

    ENVY dv7, Windows 8. After refreshing Windows, Windows update is stuck at 0%

    Hi Diaz418198,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY dv7 Notebook and getting a screen on startup at 0%. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Lenovo Solution Center does not sense or allow Windows Update after Windows 10 upgrade

    Also see: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-A-B-C-N-S-Flex-and/Lenovo-Solution-Center-says-Windows-Update-needed-Windows-10/m-p/2136161#M6832 I'm having exactly the same issue as the user who started the thread linked above. After installing Windows 10 (and having no particular issues with the installation), LSC won't leave me alone about needing to run Windows Update. But when I click the Launch button provided, nothing happens. LSC is also recommending I update drivers and things, but the link provided to the Lenovo website also doesn't work. I had to run Windows Update and find the updated drivers on the Lenovo site myself. I happen to have a G505s, but the issue is obviously not restricted to one model.

    Maybe a Lenovo server is down. Check again later or tomorrow.
    Of course it might be that your firewall or other protection software is blocking the application from communicating with the Lenovo server...

  • How do I retrieve emails from windows mail after a crash?

    I've just had to reload vista & all my old files are stored in a folder called 'windows.old' inlcuding a windows mail folder. I'm trying to retrieve all the emails that were in windows mail before everything crashed on me, does anybody know how to do this?
    Thanks in advance

    I agree with Akuma. It is definitely not Toshiba related issue and you should try to check some Microsoft forum and try to find final answer.

  • Reinstalling Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 after computer crash

    Hi there,
    My laptop has just been returned from repair after having been wiped clean due to a computer crash. I am just wondering what I have to do to reinstall CS6 since I am unable to return any license as it was deleted along with everything else. Can I simply reinstall it again without a problem?

  • T500 - Windows Update no longer works after using factory recovery disks.

    I'm running  Windows 7 32bit.  I needed to restore my T-500 hard drive because of a fatal windows registry error caused by a 3rd party registry cleaner/tuner software... Windows 7 was DOA .   
    I used the factory recovery disks I created after I first fired up the laptop in April this year, all went well, Windows 7 booted up, and I went through the "Starting Widows for the first time" setup dialog, Windows 7 sucessfully activated... also verfifed it on the Microsoft website. 
    Went into control panel to have windows update pull down all of the critical updates released after I got my Thinkpad and I got a pop up saying "windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer." 
    I checked... the windows update service is running, so is BITS.  Following suggestions from Microsoft support, I have 1)deleted the softwaredistribution folder from C:\windows, 2) run their "fixit tool", 3) renamed the CatRoot2 folder in C:\windows'system32, all to no avail each time I tried to use windows update after each "fix". 
    I decided to check here if anyone here has gone down this path before and ask what fixed it?
    I'm waiting for Microsoft support to reply to my last email informing them the last instructions to rename the CatRoot2 folder and retry windows update failed. They now have a copy of my windowsupdate.log file sent to them.
    How about it... does this situation sound familiar to anyone?
    Thanks.   

    I run into the same problem with fresh installation of W7 Pro on T530 with 1TB samsung disk.
    This solution worked for me:
        Running check for updates will trigger this error message:
    “Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.”  
    Solution:
    1.    Go to Administrative Tools/Services, and stop the Windows Update service.
    2.    Then go to the folder c: /Windows/SoftwareDistribution and delete all of the files and folders.
    3.    Then go back to Services and restart the Windows Update service which will recreate all of those folders again.
    4.    Then manually run the Update Service and everything should work.

  • Please help!!! Cannot run Windows Update in Win 7 Pro after changing new hard-drive. (X201s)

    Hi everyone,
    I have been using my thinkpad x201s for more than one year by now. And recently I change a new and larger hard drive for my laptop. When I tried the thinkpad rescue and recovery disc on the new hard drive, everything works fine except that I cannot run Windows Updates after the installation was finished.  The recovery DVDs were burned directly from the original image stored in the computer when the first I received my laptop last year.
    Every time when I try to run the Windows Update, it shows the following: "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer."
    I restarted my computer later but nothing changed. Can't run Windows Updates and can't even install IE9.
    I then moved back to my old hard drive and everything is normal, no problem with Windows Updates. I also tried to create a back-up image by running win 7 Backups and Restore. Later when I changed back to the new drive and followed the instructions to restore my system from the image I created earlier in a USB drive, it worked except that still the system can't run Windows Updates program.
    I'm now getting very confused and upset, is it something to do with the software copyright? It's been a week now and I tried to Google the similar problem but no solutions work here. All I want to do is moving my current system to the new hard drive so that I can continue to use my laptop but it just failed updating every time.
    Could anyone kindly tell me what to do when changing hard drive in order to avoid the problem I'm dealing with? Sorry I'm not a pro type user and just want my laptop to work appropriately.
    My warranty has already expired so I guess the Lenovo Technical Hotline wouldn't answer my questions anymore. Please help!! Much appreciated.
    Thanks so much in advance!!

    I'm not sure this is the issue, but from your description, it seems as though all you have to do is activate the windows update service. If I were you, I'd search for "Services" in the start menu, open it and look for "Windows Update". Check in its properties that it is set to "Automatic (Delayed)", if it isn't, set it, and start the service, you should then be able to check for updates, be careful though that none of your other programs aren't stopping the service, usually these programs are there to "optimize your performance" or "boost your system",...
    Hope this helps.

  • PATCH TUESDAY SEPT 10 WINDOWS UPDATE CRASHED MY SOFTWARE

    MY WORD, EXCEL DOCUMENTS ARE CORRUPT.
    SYSTEM RESTORES GOING BACK TO SEPT 4TH ARE NOT WORKING. I GET A MESSAGE SAYING THE RESTORE DID NOT WORK. WHEN I LOG BACK ONTO MY LAPTOP, I HAVE A WINDOW SAYING THE RESTORE WAS SUCCESSFUL AND ALL SEEMS TO WORK WELL.
    HOWEVER, WHEN I REBOOT, FILES ARE CORRUPT. I'VE NOTICED THAT DURING THE REBOOT, WINDOWS PERFORMS UPDATES.
    DON'T WANT TO ATTEMPT MANUFACTURER'S RESTORE AS I BELIEVE IT WILL ERASE ALL MY DATA.
    DID ANYONE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND HOW DID YOU FIX IT?
    THINKING OF CONTACTING HP TO REINSTALL SOFTWARE. IF SOMEONE EXPERIENCED AND SUCCESSFULLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU. THANK YOU.

    Hi
    No Need to panic there some other users who are facing similar issues after doing the windows update.
    What you can do is turn of windows update for some time so that the update does not go through again and Microsoft will have a fix patch or update very soon. You can Turn On windows updates after a week or 15 days by that time Microsoft would have updated a patch on the update.

  • After hdd crash, ORA-12518 on new connect

    hi,
    We have oracle 10g on 32 bit windows system, after hdd crash and replace (with data back from mirror hdd) we get errors ora-03114 ORA-00604 ORA-04030 on one instance. Instance works, but memory used by still grow up. When oracle process reach 1,5 GB we get errors ORA-12518 on new connect. I find data files with strange names (probably recreated by oracle) like O1_MF_SYSAUX_4935PW2G_.DBF for tablespaces: TEMP, SYSAUX, SYSTEM and USERS. I create new temp tablespace.
    Can I repair somehow this instance?

  • Windows Update tasks in Task Scheduler (Windows 8.1)

    In the Task Scheduler under Windows Update there are a few tasks :
    AUFFirmwareinstall
    AUScheduledinstall
    AUSessionConnect
    Scheduled Start
    Scheduled Start with Network
    The status of the 1st , 2nd and 3rd is as unable.
    With the next 2 there are following problems : the result after run is :
    Scheduled Start : (0x420) and Scheduled Start with Network : ok (0x0) or 1st is ok and 2nd 0x420
    Would appreciate an advice or comments how to make them work properly.
    Best regards, EwaGosia

    Hi Yolanda,
    Thank you very much for your attention and reply. At status of  the tasks under Windows Update after 1st planned run /today in the morning/ has looked as follows :
    AUFFirmwareinstall, AUScheduledinstall and AUSessionConnect as disabled and
    Scheduled Start : (0x420) and Scheduled Start with Network : ok (0x0).
    Have noticed that at app. the same time Scheduled Start with Network run in the Control Panel - Windows Update there is information about the last research with no result/no updates found , so it seems it is working.
    After this this both tasks were planned to start next 2nd time later today and the result for both is now:
    Scheduled Start : (0x420) and Scheduled Start with Network :  (0x420).
    The next start has been planned for tomorrow morning (it is made by the system in the Task scheduler and I can not change).
    Will look if the system can install automatically the updates when find as till now I made it simply from Windows Update in control Panel to click "install". My laptop is quite new and would like to check if the system can fix automatic installation
    of next Windows 8.1 Updates.
    Would appreciate if you still have some comments.
    Thanks and best regards, Ewa

  • Will Windows XP still get Windows Update download?

    I am thinking of wiping out an XP Home netbook and re-installing it from scratch.  I understand Microsoft is not supporting Windows XPs any more.  Will the newly re-installed Windows XP get automatic Windows update download from Microsoft of
    whatever Microsoft has already developed.

    Yes, it will. As per MS : "There are no current plans to remove existing Windows XP security updates from Windows Update after end of support on April 8, 2014,"
