FYI: Microsoft update for Windows 7 KB2670838 (date 2/28/2013) kills Firefox

Spent the entire morning troubleshooting this.
KB2670838 prevents FF from starting except in safe mode.
I downgraded from 19.0 to 18.0, same problem.
Went thru my entire system, reinstalled FF, nothing. The only difference in my system this AM was the MS update above. I removed it, rebooted and FF worked fine.

You can install that update and use Firefox if you Disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL#w_turning-off-hardware-acceleration|Turning off hardware acceleration]]

The normal way would be 'just' to clone the inbuilt hdd to the new ssd via an external usb adapter and then interchange the drives. If you inbuilt drive is a WD type check for a free version of Acronis True Image which includes cloning facilities. Various vendors of ssds ( e.g. Samsung ) also have cloning software included.
First start of newly cloned ssd will set up most of drivers automatically......

Could you please have a share with the error messages that shown after SP1 failed to install?
And, now I have multiple copies of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed and, the computer wants to continually install another copy upon Shutdown.
Do you mean the computer wants to continually install another copy every time when shutdown?
Please make sure we have enough space in the system drive(where the system OS installed), perform a cleanup of that drive(ensure we have ), then take a try to boot into

Enable Microsoft Update (not just Windows Update) for Windows 2008 R2

I am running Windows 2008 R2 in my Citrix XenApp 6.5 farm.
Office 2013 is installed.
I can't update Office via Windows Update. Why? Take a look at this ridiculous roundabout tautology it takes me through.
Here I am in the Windows Update panel:
If I click "Find out more" to get updates for other Microsoft Updates it takes me here:
Yeah, duh, I was just in there when I clicked the link to get to this site. What's the deal?
How does one enable all Microsoft Updates for a Windows 2008 server. I can do this in 2003 easily by going to the Microsoft Update website. 2008 however, this appears to be impossible and apparently no one else in the world has noticed this.

these discussions should help:

Update for Windows 7 (32-bit) (KB2952664) FAILED

Error Code: 80242016
During my Windows update I received the above error message while attempting the Update for Windows 7 (KB2952664).
I ran the Fixit program that was offered to me in the Help. I was not really able to identify what the exact cause of the problem is in the help however. It is not installing the update when I rerun Windows Update. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks toondog, I went to:
Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > View installed updates
in Windows 7 x64, found the failed update in the "Microsoft Windows" category (it's easier to find if you order updates by descending date) then right-click and Uninstall. It appeared to uninstall because the entry disappeared, however when I refreshed
it the entry came back. Then I went to Windows Update and it found the update and I reinstalled and this time it was successful.
It's even easier to find if you enter KB2952664 in the "Search Installed Updates" box in the upper right corner of the Installed Updates window.
This is the only way that worked for me, although I had to do a Restart after uninstalling the update before Windows Update would let me try it again.
Toondog85's way—going through Windows Update instead of Programs and Features—didn't give me the option of uninstalling the update, but it was still basically the right solution to the problem.

By the time you read this, a new Definition Update is already available, and this issue should no longer be relevant. However, the simple fix is this: DECLINE the annoying update and wait for the next Definition Update to be published.

Remember, while we are releasing Lumia Cyan for a large number of phones, there still may be some of you that are not offered the Cyan update, yet. However, as explained in the blog, we’ll continue to add more Lumia devices every couple of days over the coming weeks until we bring everyone up to the latest.

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

I'm try to test the http://www.visualstudio.com/explore/cordova-vs and when I select the Multi Device Hybrid App it says I must first install Update for Windows (KB2506143) for my Win7 64

Is this not ready for primetime issues?

Sounds like you have a Windows Update installation issue. Please notice this kind of end user issue is not related to Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum and you have to post on here:

Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.169.2328.0) will not install.

I've been going around in circles for hours now trying to figure this out, but I now officially give up. I have no idea how to fix this. So I came here before I chuck my laptop across the room.
Whenever I try to install the definition update, it fails and says "error found. Code 80070002 windows update encountered an unknown error". I've tried to fix it using the
Windows Update troubleshooter, but it can't fix it. Also, tried to follow some manual fixes, but none of what they say to do exists on my computer (like files and such). Help!
I have a Sony Vaio, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition.
I also installed the System Update Readiness Tool as a last ditch effort to see if it would fix it. It didn't.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I aggree with Hetti.
In Windows 7, Windows defender only removes spyware, but to protect yourself from viruses, you still need to download antivirus software, such as Avast Antivirus.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/securitytipstalk/archive/2014/01/16/do-i-need-anything-besides-windows-defender.aspx
To install the update for Windows Defender, i recommand you to fully exit Avast and manually install the update.

Update for Windows Vista (KB936824) Won't Work

My computer keeps telling me to download the Update for Windows Vista (KB936824), but when I run it:
*The update does not apply to you system*
And my iPod is failing so I really need this. What's the problem?

As I said in your other post, go to www.microsoft.com or contact your computer manufacturer for help. This is a Windows problem, not an iPod problem.

Hi Ravi
thanks for the heads up but I would rather you log an SR or a bug to alert development and we can get things fixed rather than make an announcement to the forum. Thanks for the workaround but many folks incl myself are forced to take security updates.
I will alert the dev team and we will investigate the issue with hig priority.

Security Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3042553)

Hello,
Security Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB3042553) has been advised to be critical update to deal with Vulnerability in HTTP.sys which could allow remote code execution.
However due to some reason I am unable to apply the patch to any of the Windows 2012 R2 servers. It errors - The update is not applicable to your computer, when tried to install manually / locally.
I tried to push it via WSUS and the patch is not getting detected by the servers.
Regional language settings are set to match Windows display language (Which is English).
Is anyone else experiencing this issue too? If so is there way to get this deployed please.
Thank you.
Kumar G

Hi Kumar,
I suggest you check the file version of Http.sys and compare it with the one documented in the KB article below:
MS15-034: Vulnerability in HTTP.sys could allow remote code execution: April 14, 2015
