Problem getting windows updates for windows 7

hi,
I am using windows 7 beta version. I have problem getting windows updates for my windows 7. When i click on check updates error code 80072F8f occurs. The same goes to any windows application like Live Mail, Live Messanger and i can't even activate my windows 7. But i can use IE8 and other external applications like Yahoo Messanger and my Avast antivirus can even update itself. Just that windows application can't connect to internet for updates. Help me please.
Thank You.
Regards,
Thilek

On January 13, Microsoft ends support for the Windows 7 Service Pack (SP) 1. No need to panic. That does not mean your computer with Windows 7 is going to automatically break or stop working. Though the
Extended Support for Microsoft product with free security update is not ending until Jan 14, 2020 comes.

Got Display driver via Windows Update for Windows 8.1 and try to use it for Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi Everyone,
the following driver cab is from Windows Update:
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=5be01620eea95d8c&id=5BE01620EEA95D8C!138&ithint=file,.cab&authkey=!APDi54-R1Ob5IWQ
It includes this display driver:
Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
My problem is: I can't install this driver on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I tried the following, nothing worked:
a) pnputil -i -a intel.cab
b) Extract cab, update the device's driver in device manager, select "search for driver software in this location"
c) copy the files in system32/, system32/drivers, syswow64/ from a Windows 8.1 system to a Windows Server 2012 R2 system
Isn't it true that any Windows 8.1 driver should also work for Windows Server 2012 R2 (same os version)?
Thanks for your replies.

Print Management Console displays no printers after applying Windows Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB2995388)

After installing optional Windows Update for Windows Server 2012 R2 (KB2995388) on a print server upgraded from Windows 2012 to Windows 2012 R2, the Print Management Console wouldn't display locally shared or remotely shared printers. Another print server
could see the printers on this server, but it couldn't see it's own. Removal of the patch resolved the issue.

Hi,
à
Removal of the patch resolved the issue.
Thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
On current situation, would you please let me confirm something more?
Please check if this update rollup package (KB2995388) install successfully.
Please run sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files after installed this update.
If be possible, please re-install Print Server feature on the server after installed this update. Any find?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Is anyone having problems downlaoding new update for window

Is anyone having problems downlaoding new update for window

You ought to be very pleased with that MacBook. 16 GB memory and a 512 GB SSD is a very robust configuration that should serve you well for many years.
Mavericks runs extremely well on a MacBook Pro with a quarter that amount of memory.
Since Mavericks is free it doesn't really matter if it or Mountain Lion is installed when you buy it. You really should purchase Macs from the Apple Store since they won't be any cheaper anywhere else, and that is the only way to buy one with absolute assurance it has not been misused or improperly stored.
You can order a Mac configured with custom options on a Sunday evening and it can be on your desk that Wednesday morning. Shipping is free.
I have no idea why anyone would by a Mac from anyone other than Apple, but they do. Complaints from those who buy Macs from "big box" resellers appear on this site in disproportionate numbers, for reasons that are not clear.

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:

Windows Update for Windows Surface RT 8.1

Hello,
I have been through some forums, but can't find a definite answer regarding updating Surface RT 8.1
We have some Windows Surface RT 8.1 devices, as RT they are non-domain. My query is:
1. Is there a WSUS (or System Center config manager) which can handle updates for Windows RT devices like surface?
2. Since we have more then 60 devices, is there a way we can install the updates without having to connect each of them to the internet and downloading the updates separately.
Many thanks,
Ramu

Dear all,
Thanks for the tips...none of them worked but I found the key to finding what works through the posts...first of all, it was not as simple as going into the permissions and turning mic and webcam on - they were both on. I then was trying to follow the other post about reinstalling the drivers but had to first figure out how to do this - i.e. where they could be found. During this process I went followed the following tip:
Open Windows Sound Control Panel and click on the Communications tab. Select there the appropriate option for what Windows should do when communications activity is detected.
What I found was the microphone that I was trying to deinstall was showing there are the default and when I went to test it, I noted that on this tab, it was down to 0 volume. I moved the volume to the max, tested it and then went into skype and voila...it worked!
What is irritating about all of this - guess it is real life - we all have problems and the fixes are in many cases different. At any rate, thanks to this forum I was able to fix my problem!

Does Windows Update (for Windows 8 at least) update the MBR and, if so, how?

I ask because I've learned (the hard way) that if you use software that locks the mbr (in my case Rollback RX), then after performing a windows update, sfc /scannow will tell you that nearly all the updated files are "corrupt". Conversely, if I
perform the same exercise without Rollback installed, I get no errors or corruptions.
I speculate that the update must be doing something similar to what is supposed to happen in the TCM scheme, with a hash table or something similar held in the mbr, which gets updated at the time of the windows update, to store the signatures of the revised
system files or whatever, so that the system can verify file integrity as it loads them during the boot.
But I can find no evidence to support my speculation. Clearly something like that must be happening or we wouldn't see the alleged corruptions when using a locked mbr.
Any ideas?

Hi,
According to your description, You Windows update installation corruption obviously caused by
Rollback RX. But that does not mean Windows update installation is relate with MBR. It is probably this software had a compatibility problem with Windows 8. I would like to recommend you to contact
the vendor of this software to verify the compatibility of this software.
MBR:
the most important data structure on the disk, is created when the disk is partitioned. The MBR contains a small amount of executable code called the master boot code, the
disk signature, and the partition table for the disk. At the end of the MBR is a 2-byte structure called a signature word or end of sector marker, which is always set to 0x55AA. A signature word also marks the end of an extended boot record (EBR) and the boot
sector.
You can refer to the link below for more information about MBR:

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.
For more detailed steps, please refer to this article below:
Set Up a Disconnected Network (Import and Export Updates)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc720512(v=ws.10).aspx
In addition, here is a WSUS forum below if there is any WSUS related question:

Window Updates for Windows Media Player

How can I determine what version of Windows Media I currently have on my Intel Core Mac? I am having trouble using Media Player since it keeps giving me the message that the player cannot play the file because it is either corrupt or the player does not support it. It is an asx file and, according to the 'help' information, this version does accept asx files. I was just wondering if I need to upgrade in order to have some success. Thanks in advance.

Is there a greater chance I will be able to play the sport's radio stations if I download the free version of Flip4Mac WMV to run on Quicktime Player or Safari Web Browser? I like listing to our local minor league team when they are on the road and I can't seem to get them on my new iMac. Thanks....

I get the following message: "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." Please help.

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:

Hi K,
Thank you for you reply and sorry if the information was a bit too truncated. well here goes.
I am using a MacBook Pro (3.1) 17 inch, 2.4GHz processor, 2 GB ram. I edit video using Final Cut Studio 2. i am having a problem with Final Cut Pro 6 after downloading the latest update (6.0.3). Before I downloaded the update I used to be able to export my movies on the Quicktime option of FCP (not compressor or Quicktime conversion) giving me the option to view the the movie while in an FCP Project. The viewer used to scale the exported video to 16.9 (720 by 576 anamorphic), it no longer does this, instead playing it in 4.3. I have tried exporting both from the time line and the canvas but the viewer will only preview in 4.3. As I want to see it in 16.9 because that is what the movie was made in, captured and edited in. The original settings have not changed but there seems to be this annoying problem.
I hope that is enough detail

Hi there,
Sorry you are having problems installing the KB from Microsoft.

Cumulative Security Update for Windows XP Service Pack 2 Warning!

Not sure how many of you guys remember the problems associated with the Windows XP Service Pack 2 when it was first released, but the latest Cumulative Security patch completely disabled my Plextor 708A DVD drive and locked up Windows Explorer.
Here is the problem patch:
o Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (KB883939)
It caused my Plextor 708A to give off two blinking Amber lights, which according to Plextor indicates the drive is defective. Plextor actually tells you to get a RMA ticket and to return the drive. Luckily I found it odd that my DVD drive became defective after I installed the latest windows update and tried uninstalling the 'fixes' before going that route. Fortunately, removal of one of the 'fixes' solved my problem.
If you find that your DVD or CD Player no longer works after doing a windows update, then do the following:
o Go to Control Panel
o Select Add Remove Programs
o Scroll to the bottom and select Security Update for Windows XP (KB883939)
o Click 'Remove'
o Restart your computer
I might not have the latest security fix right now, but at least my computer is running.
Stu: Can you report this to MSI and have them get in touch with M$?

i will, if this is a problem affecting a lot of users.
has anyone else experienced this problem?

I will alert the dev team and we will investigate the issue with hig priority.
