How to tell Windows Update to disregard a faulty driver?

I have had to install Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 as a clean build, as the update build installs would rollback because of a driver error.(Qualcomm Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Network Adapter)
The issue I am NOW having again with the Qualcomm Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Network Adapter.
Windows Update is now trying to update the driver again but getting "Windows Update 0x800f0203 error ",it will see the driver update, try to install, but it will failed every time it try's install the driver update
My question is how to tell Windows Update to disregard this faulty driver?

Same problem here,
Hewlett Packard Enterprise WSD Multi Function Printer, other hardware -NULL Print- HP Envy 5530 (driver)
gets error code 0x80070490 every time it tries to load. Then all the other drivers behind it default too. They stop the download. If the option to stall or ignore  that one download where available the next downloads would go as planned. 
The screenshot posted here overlooked one point......
The instructions I gave on the other thread was to "dot" Never install driver software from Windows Update.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to show Windows Update in Control Panel in Clean Installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

    Scenario
    If you performed a clean installation of the new Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926, you would find Windows Update is only available in
    Settings and is hidden in Control Panel by default. However, Windows Update is still available in Control Panel if it is an upgrade version of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926.
    Solution
    After the comparison of the two different version, the differences is the following registry:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled
    In clean installation version:
    In upgrade version:
    The method to make Windows Update show in Control Panel in the clean installation of Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926:
    Edit the REG_DWORD value of IsConvergedUpdateStackEnabled from 1 to 0.

    We’ve seen a few forum posts talking about changing registry keys to alter the update experience we shipped in Technical Preview build 9926. There are a couple of reasons that we don’t recommend doing things like that.
    First, the default experience is what we’ve tested across not just the Windows 10 team, but across all of Microsoft before we released it to you. That doesn’t mean that you won’t still find bugs, but it’s definitely the code that’s been most thoroughly
    tested. Changing things back to older versions is risky because the combination of those old settings with the rest of Windows 10 is not something that’s been validated or supported, so we can’t predict the side effects. It’s possible that changing registry
    settings related to update could cause a machine to no longer be able to get new updates or Technical Preview builds.
    The other reason to avoid changing the default update experience is that a lot of update-related code is actually being re-written in order to scale across the variety of different device types Windows 10 will support. Since Technical Previews are
    a work-in-progress, some code that may still be in build 9926 won’t actually ship in the final version of Windows 10 that we provide to all our customers, so trying to re-enable that code temporarily won’t provide a way to accurately assess Windows 10’s update
    capabilities.
    We want to hear your feedback! We’re sharing Technical Preview releases early so we can understand exactly how customers are using our software and make sure we are designing our experiences to address those scenarios. The more
    specific the feedback, the more helpful it is for us – saying “I hate the new Windows Update UI” isn’t very useful, but when we see “I need to be able to tell Windows Update to grab updates from WU itself and not from my internal corporate server, so the new
    Windows Update UI is painful for me”, we can actually understand what changes we could make to solve those specific problems. We can’t promise to fix everything that everyone asks for – and sometimes what one customer wants is exactly what another customer
    doesn’t want – but the more you can help us understand why you want something changed, the better we can try to meet those needs.
    Thanks for listening, and we look forward to hearing your responses.

  • How to block Windows update services?

    We have a need to prevent windows update traffic to flow thru our network on certain dates. Basically this type of traffic will clog our mpls bandwidth preventing other type of traffic to flow. We are using up to some part QoS on out routers but it not working all the time. Eg, we put in ip address of one windows update server but updates are pulled of the other, then you enter second ip and updates are coming from third, etc.
    I would like to explore other, a bit more controllable options utilizing Cisco's technology: ASA 8.4, IronPort WSA.
    In summary, to create a traffic policy, not specific to IP addresses, that will kick in at certain date/time, be on for certain period of time and turned off after (automatically).
    Any ideas, suggestions how to tackle this issues would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,.

    In WSA, go to Web Security Manager/Define Custom Time ranges, and create a time range, call it "Workday", set it for the time you want to block.
    Create a new Access Policy, set the identies to All Users, click Advanced at the bottom.
    Set the time range to the Workday time range.
    Set the user agent to the Microsof Windows Updates (Its under Common User Agents/Others)
    In the Protocols section of the policy, set it for "Define custom settings", and tell it to http, ftp, etc.
    There are other ways to do it, creating an Identity for example, and then creating a policy for that, but this should work...

  • 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

  • How to throttle Windows Updates in BITS 4.0

    Hi,
    We are trying to solve a problem related to limiting the "Windows Update" traffic between Windows Clients and Internet Windows Update servers:
    We have a WSUS infra setup like this:
    Master server which is used for for approving patches, and managing computer groups. We don't store patches on that server, and clients are configured to download patches from the internet.
    We have around 20 sites all sites are pointing "Intranet Update Server" to our master server.
    The issue we are having is that in some cases, when we do a patch approval cycle, some remote sites with many users and insufficient internet bandwidth get lousy internet access performance.
    We have identified the cause of this issue to be the large amounts of data that need to be downloaded by Windows Update.
    The solution we are looking for is a way to limit Windows Update Traffic, so my mind jumped immediately to BITS.
    I dug around the BITS features, and found the Peer Caching feature.
    However as I read in Technet, BITS 3.0 has some peer caching capabilities.
    With BITS 4.0 this has been removed, and the only caching available is via BranchCache.
    I've read this thread(link), and
    the OP is almost in the same situation as me, only he was trying to setup a branchcache server, and the clients would make use of that feature, when downloading from his internal WSUS.
    So what are my options in terms of improving BITS bandwidth usage? Limit BITS download traffic during daytime hours?
    p.s. Before someone says "Why don't you just setup a replica servers in each branch?" - we have no resources for this, and this doesn't play nice with many of our roaming users that go from location to location. Then we'll be moving our bandwidth
    problem from the Internet lines to the MPLS/Leased lines - which are far more costly.
    thank you,
    ionut

    I dug around the BITS features, and found the Peer Caching feature.
    However as I read in Technet, BITS 3.0 has some peer caching capabilities.
    With BITS 4.0 this has been removed, and the only caching available is via BranchCache.
    BranchCache is not an appropriate solution for your scenario, as it requires a WS2008R2 or later server to act as the server-based cache. 
    However, do not be confused by the fact that BranchCache and Peer Caching are enabled in the same way on a client system. PeerCaching is an appropriate solution for these sites.
    So what are my options in terms of improving BITS bandwidth usage?
    The starting place is to limit the background throughput utilization available to BITS. Almost certainly you're saturating the Internet link because each client is evaluating "available bandwidth" at the NIC, which even on a busy network would
    still be 10+mbit/sec for each system.
    The policies needed for this purpose are documented in the WSUS Technical Reference Guide:
    Improve WSUS Download Performance with BITS. As described in the section "BITS bandwidth limitations", you'll need to set the policy "Limit the maximum network bandwidth for BITS background transfers".
    But also in that section is the guidance on how to implement PeerCaching, which if all of your systems are BITS 3.0 capable, would be the best solution. In that case only *one* system downloads from Microsoft (it'll be the first one to detect the availability
    of a new update, so you cannot predict or control this action), and the rest will get the needed files via LAN connections. Of course, you'll still want to limit the bandwidth utilization on the Internet link, and it will still need to be configured for ALL systems,
    but it will be exponentially less utilization with PeerCaching than with everybody-for-themselves.

  • How to run Windows update for Win XP SP3 using Firefox

    My desktop PC is running windows XP with SP3. My spouse uses IE 8 for her browser. I use Firefox Version 24. for my browser. Previously, whenever we ran MS or Windows update it starts IE and runs fine. IE 8 has blown up and no longer works (Runtime Errors). I tried to go to the Windows update website using Firefox and it came back and told me that I had to use IE to run Win update on an XP system. Is this true? I don't want to use IE at all. Is there a way to use Firefox to run Windows or MS update on my Win XP system? Thank you.

    Thanks for your help. That is not what I wanted to hear so I will have to try to get IE 8 working again. How do other folks do updates? Does this mean that IE is absolutely necessary to maintain your windows system? Is this true for the newer versions of Windows, 7 or 8?

  • How to make Windows Update work properly after a fresh XP Home Installation

    1. Set up Boot Camp 60 gig partition.
    2. Install full copy of Windows XP SP2 on the Boot Camp partition.
    3. Using the OSX Disk, Install the Boot Camp 2.0 Drivers for Windows.
    4. Download the Boot Camp 2.1 Update from apple.com and install it.
    5. In Windows, run the Apple Software Update.
    6. In your Windows systray, you probably have notice of "automatic software updates". Install them from the systray notification and they will install correctly.
    7. Now manually visit Windows Update. You can view all available updates but if you try to actually install any updates this way you will hang immediately at the "Downloading" status. No actual download even starts.
    This problem will persist across reboots, etc. It will occur if you try to upgrade from Windows Update to Microsoft Update, and even if you then uninstall Microsoft Update and go back to Windows Update.
    The only action that corrects this problem is to perform the following steps:
    1. In Windows, choose Start > Run and enter "msconfig".
    2. In the MS Configuration utility, choose to restart Windows in diagnostic mode. (You must perform the following step in diagnostic mode or some of the files you need to delete will be locked by some running service or whatnot.)
    3. After Windows comes up in diagnostic mode, open the C:\Windows\Software Distribution. Delete everything inside that folder (but not the folder itself).
    4. Run msconfig again and select to restart Windows in normal mode again.
    5. When Windows comes up in normal mode, it recreates the entire default contents that you just deleted in the previous step, and Windows Update will now work properly.

    I kept running into this same problem with Windows Update every single time I restarted into Boot Camp from the OSX side of things. (System Preferences > Startup Disk > select Untitled > Restart.)
    I could clear the problem every time by rebooting (while in Boot Camp) into Diagnostic mode, clearing the contents of the C:\Windows\Software Distribution folder, and then restarting back into Normal mode.
    On a hunch, one time I did not bother with the above steps, but just restarted Windows (Start > Shutdown > Restart). Whaddya know? That worked to clear the problem with Windows Update too!
    So at this point I think the root cause of the problem is something about Boot Camp itself, particularly when you first switch from OSX over to your Boot Camp partition. It is 100% repeatable that Windows Update will run and find your various uninstalled updates, but if you try to actually download any of them, the process will hang right at the start of "Downloading".
    Simply shutting down and restarting Windows while already in Boot Camp solves this problem completely.
    It's also interesting to note that if you use VMWare Fusion to run a VM of your Boot Camp partition you do not have this problem at all. Windows Update will run perfectly each and every time you run your Boot Camp version of Windows under VMWare Fusion. You only need to do this restarting of Windows if you are actually in Boot Camp.

  • How to get windows updates offline

    Hi,all
    I want to get windows updates (win7/win server2003/2008)periodically,but our stations and servers are not connected to Internet,so I must download the windows patches manually.
    Could you sharing your best way to get windows updates and install offline with me? I know some tools such as MBSA ,WSUS. but I have no experience on it .thanks all of you

    Hi Lorin,
    Managing WSUS on a disconnected network involves exporting updates and metadata from a WSUS server on a connected network and then importing all that information into the WSUS server on the disconnected network.
    There are three steps to accomplishing an import and export.
    First, make sure advanced synchronization options for the express installation files feature and languages on the export server match the settings on the import server.
    Second, copy updates from the file system of the export server to the file system of the import server.
    Third, export update metadata from the database on the export server, and import it into the database on the import server.
    For detailed information, please refer to the link below,

  • How to install Windows updates for Windows server 2003 SP2 Manualy

    Hi All,
    We have 10 machines running Windows server 2003 SP2. These machines are ISA servers kept in DMZ.
    So these servers do not have internet access any any means. We are receiving Non compliance for not patching them for specific .NET framework patches. We have installed them but still the Scanning tools says it is not installed. 
    We have planned to check it through Windows update but as it is in DMZ there is no Internet connection and we also cannot push through WSUS server as well.
    Is there any way we can get the update package in Bulk so we can manually patch them rather than manually downloading them 1 by one and installing them ?
    Gautam.75801

    Hi Gautam,
    To achieve your goal, I suggest you set up a WSUS server on the disconnected network, then exporting updates and metadata from a
    WSUS server on a connected network and importing all that information into the WSUS server on the disconnected network.
