Hot Fix error message for KB979344 "this update is not applicable to your computer", on Windows 7 64 bit with SP1

I've been having issues with an external Esata drive.  Instead of being seen as a removeable drive, it is seen as a hard drive.  This has caused us nothing but problems since our full disk encryption software automatically starts to encrypt
the drive rendering it useless.
The real problem I'm having is installing the Hot Fix, KB979344, for this issue.  when tring to install, I get the message, "this update is not applicable to your computer"  I've looked and this hot fix doesn't seem to be part of SP1, but
I could be missing it.  Any thoughts? 
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keithk,
This hotfix is already contained in Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
Please add the registry key to check if the issue persists. (For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.  )
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Storage  
Create a DWORD Value, name SATAHotplugPolicyOverride,
set 1 in Value Data.   
Restart the computer to check if it works.
Regards,
Miya

  • Windows Virtual PC (KB958559) will not install, "This update is not applicable to your computer."

    Windows Virtual PC KB958559 never installs. It says "This update is not applicable to your computer." Here are my details...
    Dell Inspiron M6400, Intel Core2 Duo T9550, Hardware Virtualization is present and has been enabled in bios which was updated recently
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, build 7600.16539.x86fre.win7_gdr.100226-1909
    Any ideas? I have seen the other posts but nothing seemed to be a solution. Another strange behavior that may (or may not) be related is that when I try to load the "Turn Windows features on or off" the box loads blank.

    Firstly, please read the following article on how to resolve the blank dialog box of “Windows Features”:
    The "Windows Features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, or you receive an error message that includes
    the following code when you try to use Windows Update: "0x80073712"
    Then,
    empty the Temporary Internet files and %Temp% folder.
    At last, download
    Windows Virtual PC again and install it.

  • Hotfix KB2277439 Says "The update is not applicable to your computer" when trying to install.

    We have two Dell Poweredge 710 servers both running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 using Failover Clustering. These servers host a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database. They are being back up by a EMC Networker.
    Recently, we had the active node hang overnight around the same time that the backups run. After further digging into what could have caused the problem, I found some usefull information on our issue in KB2277439 The symptoms described match our situation

    The package I downloaded extracted a file named Windows6.1-KB2277439-x64.msu  However when I tried installing the hotfix I get an error saying: "The update is not applicable to your computer"
    Can someone please explain why this update is not applicable? As far as the KB article says, it's specifically meant for Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 with Failover Clustering installed, which is exactly the setup that these servers are running.
    Also I have verified that this hotfix had not been previously applied and I'm pretty sure we couldn't have gotten this as an automatic update. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hotfixes are special, out-of-band patches created to fix specific problems, so they are never published to Windows Update.  Often the hotfix gets incorporated into a released patch that is published on Windows Update.  If this hotfix was incorporated
    into a released patch, and you applied that patch to your system, the hotfix would see that its files are older than the latest files on the system and would give you this message.  Because the hotfix is not for general distribution, there is rarely documentation
    saying that it has been superceded.
    Generally there is a file list with a hotfix/patch that gives you the version number of the affected files.  You can go through those files to see that you have the latest files.  The problem is finding the actual patch that updated those files. 
    Without going through lots of patches, it is hard to find which patch made the hotfix obsolete.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2: "The update is not applicable to your computer"

    ALCON,
    I'm trying to install a "Windows Update Standalone Installer" file (Windows6.1-KB3032323-x64.msu) along with other .msu files and I keep getting the same message: "The update is not applicable to your computer".  The server is a
    virtual machine and is also the vCenter server for the system, so I REALLY don't want to mess this installation up and break the system but the installation is needed and mandatory.  How can I go about installing these .msu files. 
    *Note*  The system is located in a classified environment so it doesn't have a connection to the outside (unclassified) world.  But I'm able to have the .msu files placed on the system at any time. 
    Thanks!
    V/r,

  • RSAT Tools won't install (the update is not applicable to your computer) in build 9926

    Trying to install Remote Server Administration Tools in Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9926
    Downloaded WindowsTH-KB2693643-x64.msu
    Gives error "the update is not applicable to your computer"

    Hi SeanSauve,
    The below is the information I quoted from the system requirements part on the download page:
    Supported Operating System
                        Windows 10 , Windows 10 Tech Preview , Windows 8.1                
    **Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview can be installed ONLY on computers that are running the second release of Windows 10 Technical Preview.** Remote Server Administration Tools cannot be installed on Windows
    RT, computers with an Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) architecture, or other system-on-chip devices.
    Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview runs on both x86- and x64-based editions of builds 9926 and later releases of Windows 10 Technical Preview, including all updates.  This release does not run on Windows 10 Technical
    Preview builds that are older than 9926. Download and install the version that matches the architecture of the computer on which you plan to install the administration tools. If you are not sure whether your computer is x86- or x64-based, see
    How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.
    Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview is available only in United States English (en-US) for this release.
    IMPORTANT: Remove all older versions of Administration Tools Pack or Remote Server Administration Tools—including older prerelease versions, and releases of the tools for different languages or locales—from the computer before you install Remote
    Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview. Only one copy at a time of Remote Server Administration Tools can be installed on a computer. If you have upgraded to Windows 10 Technical Preview from an older release of Windows, you will need
    to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview on the computer; no earlier releases of Remote Server Administration Tools are still installed on a computer that you have upgraded to Windows 10 Technical Preview.
    Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview includes support for remote management of computers that are running the Server Core installation option or the Minimal Server Graphical Interface configuration of Windows Server Technical
    Preview. However, Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview cannot be installed on any releases or installation options of the Windows Server operating system.
    Earlier releases of Remote Server Administration Tools (such as those for Windows 8.1) are not available--nor do they run--on Windows 10 Technical Preview.
    Server Manager is included with Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview; GUI-based tools that are part of this release of Remote Server Administration Tools can be opened by using commands on the Tools menu of the Server Manager
    console. To use Server Manager to access and manage remote servers that are running Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2012 R2, you must install several updates on the older operating systems. For more information
    about requirements for using Server Manager to manage remote servers, see
    Manage multiple, remote servers with Server Manager.
    More information, see:
    Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview (January 2015)
    Please check and see if your current build is Windows 10 build 9926, and the system language, RSAT should not be able to install on the other language versions of Windows 10 other than EN-US.

  • Unable to install the security patches KB2677070 in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (The update is not applicable to your computer)

    Dear everyone, 
    We are trying to install the below KB in our windows server 2008 R2 SP1, however, it will show "The update is not applicable to your computer". There is no problems to install the other patches except this one. Do anyone have idea about it?
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2677070
    Thanks,
    Users

    Hi,
    According to this KB article, there are many exceptions where this KB is not applicable.
    Please perform the following steps:
    Expand the “For all supported…” title in the File Information section in the KB article.
    Find Crypt32.dll.mui files on your machine.
    Then compare the file version, file size, data and time with the ones listed in the KB article.
    If there is a match, then this KB doesn’t apply to your machine, which is by design.
    Hope this helps.

  • KB2885698 the update is not applicable to your computer

    kms server is on windows server 8 R2 6.1.7600 so i need to apply KB2885698 to be able to activate office 2013 on windows 8.1 computers. When applying Windows6.1-KB2885698-x64.msi got a message: the update is not applicable to your computer. Event
    log: Windows update  could not be installed because of error 2149842967. KB2885698 is NOT installed already. Installation of KB947821 was OK.

    I've got a similar problem.  I have my KMS server authenticating Office 2013 after a lot of mucking about but it wont authenticate Windows 8.1 enterprise.  2885698 suggests that the solution is to install an update but I get the message "the
    update is not applicable to your computer".  I get the same message on server 2008 R2, Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 clients and that includes the Windows 2008 R2 server with the Office 2013 pack installed that already authenticates Office and Windows
    7.

  • Windows6.1-KB958559-x64 the update is not applicable to your computer

    I have yet to find a good answer on this one. Running a Q6600 with a 680i mobo VT enabled in the bios, 8GB ram. Win 7 RC fresh install. Loaded drivers rebooted and ran the XP mode install first, then ran the VPC file Windows6.1-KB958559-x64 only to get the message, "The update is not applicable to your computer." This should work on this machine. I've unpluged everything but the HD and video card to install this. Also would like to say it installed fine on my laptop which has the Intel T7500 processor. Any help or links to other forums you guys could post here on the topic would be greatly appreciated. I need to run some old data recovery software that just won't load on 7 and XP Mode allows you to access all drives on the system. Thanks!

    I am looking at the MSU package and going to give it the trick people were using to upgrade from Windows 7 Beta to RC. Where you look into the files to change the version. There is an XML file in the MSU that checks the version of the system you are installing on. The current code looks like this: 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
        <servicing>
            <package action="install">

                <source location="%configsetroot%\Windows6.1-KB958559-x64.CAB" />
            </package>
         </servicing>
    </unattend>
      and may need to be changed to this
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
        <servicing>
            <package action="install">

            </package>
         </servicing>
    </unattend>
    Either it has to be version 7.1 or 7100
    Hope it works.

  • Portege M400 - Error message: Sorry, but this product is not available in your region.

    I get the message above when I click on the link 'Portege M400' registration page under my profile. This is odd bcause I am actually writing this mesage on the PortegeM400!?
    What I want is, naturally, to go directly from my registration and to the drivers that are ready for my PC, but it appears that the registration procedure did not workout? How does this work out - do I need to set up a different country to be allowed to move on. (Current country is Denmark)
    Regards Per

    Hi
    No reason to be confused! What I want is quite natural - for a programmer. After registering my pc details Thosiba naturally knows what drivers I will be looking for. So what I expect is simply a link to those drivers and notting else. What I get is however a confusing message that - if nothing else - tells me somthiget that vcan not be true... if true I should not be able to input the registration information in the first place.
    to summ up I do not want to go through the laubor of figureing out what drivers I need - and actually I do not need to as thosiba has all nessesary the information and so lets move on.
    Also found the lik that is missing on this page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/registration_basic.jsp?service=EU ;-)

  • Windows Update fails: KB2957189 is not applicable to your computer

    Hello,
    I am having trouble with some Windows Updates on a Win2012R2 Server.
    We have two servers which will become nodes in a 2-node-cluster. The Cluster Configuration Wizard complains about four updates not present on Server A but ok on Server B.
    Both servers are identical - same model, same time of installation etc. 
    These are the updates the Cluster Configuration Wizard complains about:
    KB2957189 - not in list of installed updates on both machines
    KB2918614 - present in list of installed updates on both machines
    KB2926765 - present in list of installed updates on both machines
    KB2939087 - present in list of installed updates on both machines
    When I try to manually install the update KB2097189 on Server A I get this error "Windows Update Standalone Installer - This update is not applicable to your computer". However if I try the same update file on Server B I get
    "this update is already installed on this computer".
    I already read that 2918614 can sometimes break Windows Update on a machine but am not sure how to proceed.
    What I need to achieve is an identical update state on both machines to make the Cluster Configuration Wizard accept the config. It is the only issue we have.  
    Any ideas?
    Regards, rj
    Regards, Ralph

    Thanks for the reply!
    The issue is a bit more tricky:
    The Cluster Configuration Wizard complains about those four updates not being installed on Server A.
    Server B is fine.
    The displayed list of installed updates on both servers is IDENTICAL.
    When I try to run manual setup for KB2097189:
    Server A: "This update is not applicable for your Computer"
    Server B: "This update is already installed on your Computer"
    KB2957189 is not visible in the list of installed updates on either machine.
    KB2918614, KB2926765 and KB2939087 however, are.
    Kind of clueless here. Seems to me Server A has a glitch in Windows Update itself...
