Every PATCH installation fails after installing Windows Updates

Hello,
I want to report an issue which I think is a Windows bug introduced by one of the Windows updates (unfortunately I wasn't able to find out which one of them).
Here is the test case:
1. install a fresh copy of Windows on a test machine
2. install all available Windows Updates (so the system is up to date)
3. create a sample MSI installer which only installs some dummy files (let's say Product Version 1.0.0) and host it on a web server
4. install the MSI from the online location using a command line like this:
msiexec /i http://server/share/package.msi
5. create a .MSP patch (e.g. v1.0.1) which only adds a new file to v1.0.0
6. install the v1.0.1 patch
RESULT: the patch installation fails with the following error message: "The filename , directory name , or volume label syntax is incorrect"
NOTES:
1. the issue was replicated on Windows 7 and 8 machines UP TO DATE
2. the issue is not replicated on a fresh installation of Windows without Updates applied
Is there anyone aware of what could cause this error? Once again the patch installation fails only on Windows machines with the latest Updates installed.
Thx,
Daniel

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.

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/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

Finder restart every two seconds! After install security update 2011-005

After install security update 2011-005, I rebot my computer and every seemed normal, until I saw that started to restart the finder.
Help me! please.
PD: I try to delete the famous "com.apple.finder.plist" but I can't found them.
Is a MacBook Pro 13'' mid 2009 OS X Lion (10.7.1)

You may be able to repair this with 10.4.8 PPC Combo Update
This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

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,
Jeff

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 :)

Blue screen after installing windows update

I get this error message after I install the windows updates. I have the K8n Neo Platinum with Nvidia Nforce 3 250gb chipset. I am running XP X64. The computer runs great until I do the windows update. I have tried changing setting in the bios but that don't matter. Here are 3 pix. I had to take them quick so they aren't very good. I am right now re-formatting again so I am on my other computer.
OK how do you add pix from a digital camera on this forum??? ,
Here is what it says. stop: c000021a (fatal system error) this session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000263 (0x00000000 0x00000000) the system has been shut down.
It then goes into a reboot mode and comes back with the same blue screen error code.
Help

I e-mailed MSI tech support today also about the problem. A month ago I did the same thing. The tech said "oh I haven't heard of that happening before" So thanks for the link. I can't wait to get the "haven't had that happen before" DUUHHHH again. I will just link them. A month ago I wrote went through about 10 of the updates. Doing a re-install, updating and see what happens. I wrote down a couple of them that cause problems. It was just way to much work to time consuming so I just stopped.
I don't quite understand that voltage thing with the processor. I would think you should be able to set the bios to "fail safe setting" and it should run and do everything.
It don't look like they posted a fix for this problem. But I didn't install any of the security updates anyways. I wonder if it is just my Motherboard or what. There must be someone out there who is running x64 with one of these boards.
thanks again.

Unable to autoconnect to Wifi network after installing Windows update 8.1 - Toshiba Satellite - Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG-netwerkverbinding

Hello, got a problem connecting to my wifi: every time I start up my Laptop (5 year old Toshiba Satellite L300) the wificonnections are listed but windows is unable to connect to the WIFI. Wificonnection states unable to connect, after running Windows Network
Control the issue is found en the WIFI connects correctly.
I need to run the troubleshooter every time after staring up windows in order to get my wifi running, this is rather annoying..
Does anybody have a solution? I downloaded and installed the latest driver from intel, and also tried to enter below without any improvement.
netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
see below error report:

Hi,
With the google translate, It seems that you are facing with the following problem:
A network cable is not connected correctly or may be damaged
Problem with wireless adapter or access point
For this issue, I suggest you try the following steps:
Try with another account, or test with another system, another cable.
Reinstall network adapter.
Open Device Manager then Network Adaptors, find the wireless NIC and choose properties then open the power management tab and uncheck the one that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
Test this issue in safe mode with networking
Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode)
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode
Does this work? and I would be appreciate if you could update the diagnostics with English.

Failing to install windows updates

I recent completed a facory reset of my G580 and managed to install a few updates; but after that it says theres 101 updates and it will download them but after the restart it says fails to install, reverting changes.
I've tried running the windows troubleshooter which does find faults and fixes them but it makes no difference.
Thanks in advance.

can you list here what are the updates that failed? In my case all security updates and .NET framework updates kept failing. I asked around and they told me that after I have installed the updated I should check the updates history and if I find some of them failed , I should run the troubleshooter again . I ran the troubleshooter again , and it worked . It literally took me 2-3 weeks to finally update. There is sometheing really wrong with windows updates and the only way to fix this problem is the solution I told you in last reply.
This was the question I asked on microsoft community : windows updates.
If you still can't find the right solution , then you can ask your queries there also.

After Installing Windows Updates (7-20-214) chckdsk now runs at start-up and other HDD errors are popping up.

On 7-20-2014 I installed various windows updates. Later that day I shut down my computer and after a few hours powered it back on. At this point my system started running chkdsk and was unable to read portions of the disk.
After it went through all 3 phases it booted up fine. So I ran two tests. A Seagate HDD tool for windows and ran activeSMART tools. Both of them said there are errors to my HDD and that I should back up and get a new HDD.
It just doesn't make sense that in the span of a few hours my otherwise perfectly fine working HDD would send back all of these errors. There are no sounds coming from the drive to indicate mechanical failure, and otherwise I have no problems using the system;
no slow downs opening files etc.
Please if anyone knows of any current Windows Updates that could be causing this I would very much like to know as that is one of the only things I can think of that could be causing these errors. Thank you.

I agree with Frederic. In addition to this: Do not hesitate and backup your data, buy new disk and make new installation. If you have problems with retrieving some files, use program
Recuva.
Not all HDD failures are accompanied by noise. Imagine failure of hdd electronics. Not all mechanics stop functioning with noise.
I have never experienced any update problem that had caused mechanical failure. Perhaps large disk activity during updates accelerates the disaster process in your computer.
In my personal opinion the "low price goal" is behind the higher failure rate. For disk vendors it is cheaper to replace several failked disks than do thorough test of all disks (or memory, etc.) I had mechanical disk that ended its life in
two months... (Do not be fooled by large MTBF values. These are extrapolated data from hdd sets.)

HP Deskjet printer 4645 is not taking print after installing windows update

Iam using HP Deskjet 4645 printer at home. After installing updated drivers from HP it works very fine but after updating windows it doesnt print from microsoft office 2013 as wel as word pad. it prints well from notepad and e print. When I contacted HP
for this problem, they told me that problem is with microsoft windows 8.1 and I should contact Microsoft for the problem. Please help

HP service center is telling that the problem is not from HP side but it is from Microsoft windows 8.1.
Do they like the driver that it is using? Usually it is their driver but quite old. E.g. they probably didn't try to provide one specifically for W8.1 but it is their responsibility to do so; otherwise they are in effect saying that they do not
support W8.1 with that device.
Notice that your printer does not appear in this list?
HP Printers - Supported HP Printers for Windows 8
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03168175
And that is W8. Who knows what all they stopped supporting for W8.1?

HT3986 Mac Installation Disc after installing Windows 7 on BootCamp

Hi,
I juest installed Windows 7 using BootCamp. The next thing I need to do is download the Mac installation software to load onto Windows.
My Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8.4 didn't come with the disc. I can't use my wifi on the windows side presumably due to needing OS X on there.
I need to download the OS X installation software onto my memory stick so I can load it onto Windows.
Could someone please be kind enough to give me the link to the correct download. I've tried looking throught Apple site but can't seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks in advance.
Shaun

Also when i click the download button for the OS X Recovery Disc Assistant v1.0 on the apple website I just get this message:
We're sorry.
We can't find the page you're looking for.
Please return to the Apple Support homepage.

Clamd fails after installing Security Update 2010-004

A few months ago while running clamav-0.96, I began to get "Assertion failed" notices in my system log. But I applied a PowerPC patch available at clamav.net and that solved the problem. Later on, I updated to clamav-0.96.1 and everything continued running fine until yesterday when I installed Apple's Security Update 2010-004. Now I'm seeing the "Assertion failed" messages in my system log again just about every 10 seconds:
Jun 17 07:55:17 nagxserveg5 net.clamav.clamd[686]: Assertion failed: (ResultPtr

I tried reinstalling clamav-0.96.1 (configure/make/make install) and
rebooted, but that didn't help. And attempting to reapply PowerPC patch, I just
get the message that the patch is already applied. I have had to turn off virus scanning in ServerAdmin/Mail service in order to send/receive any mail. Otherwise, everything fails in virus scanning and just ends up sitting in my Mail Queue.

Yes, but you also mentioned that you tried to apply the patch which is not needed
Looks like a freshclam update broke things then. Until they reliably sort it, you can safely rebuild ClamAV using --enable-llvm=no or --disable-llvm (don't remember which one is correct off the top of my head).

After installing windows updates, new tabs will not open, either on toolbar, ctl t or under file

it will open a new window. Only known on laptop because windows up completely crashed my desktop. Computer hell.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Actually it sometimes gets a little further, the display will dim and the pointer will appear and then whoop it will turn off. if i do a verbose start up, it will finish all the steps, the white screen will appear and dim and then it will turn off.
