Windows 8 update failure at 15% (% may vary) - fixed.

New G580, with Windows 8 factory installed, would not get beyond 15% updated. This despite it having several tries (three?), then finally giving up and automatically removing the updates.
I ran the update fix offered, and a second session of trying to update still did not work after multiple automatic attempts.
Installing the updates 5 or 6 at a time (oldest ones first) works.
Takes an age to do, as there is a reboot after every update, but after 5 or 6 update sessions it is finally done.
Now I'm sure in the past Windows updates on a new machine used to come in dribs and drabs over the first few days use, so why try and do them all at once (and fail, and not be able to sort itself out)?
Broken one of Miss Piggy's golden rules: never eat anything you can't pick up.

Hi
In my opinion it is Microsoft related issue so check please at first this Microsoft document

  • Windows update failures over the past several months

    I'm having the same issues regarding windows update failures as many documented in this forum. I have run the repairs recommended, drive scans, etc. with no success. I'm at the point that I think that it would be better to cut off the update notice. I have
    zipped up the files recommended and posted them on my skydrive site. That location is https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=C1221863E15FBC11&id=C1221863E15FBC11%211274.
    Please help. Joe Collins
     

    at the point that I think that it would be better to cut off the update notice.
    You may be right.  Try eliminating WU from a symptom description.  E.g. pick one of the updates which is available as a download and try installing it that way.  Just use WU as a guide for what you should download and install manually. 
    I imagine that if that works eventually WU will repair itself and realize that it doesn't need to do anything else for you.
    A search to support the idea of manual download and install acting as a workaround for this symptom:

    Another suggestion which could be implied by your diagnostics would be to uninstall your Norton package (and any of the other interferers which are mentioned that would be suspect).  Norton is notorious for interference with updating and is also known
    to interfere even when it is supposedly disabled and is also known interfere even when it has supposedly been uninstalled, so who knows what the cause of the problem is, corruption or blocking, you could at least change your POQexec.log by taking such
    manual action.
    BTW what have you done exactly about trying to repair WU?  You could save yourself a lot of manual effort if you could get it working properly.  
    Otherwise, on the manual update tack I would try doing first the ones which arrive in pieces.  Search WindowsUpdate.log for  Downloading  for clues that way.

    Hi!
    There are some issues with my system as it would not install updates anymore.

    What should I do

    Thanks, but nothing works.

  • Installation of InDesign 7.03 update failure, any ideas how to fix?

    After repeatedly trying to install InDesign 7.03 update on my InDesign CS5 I continually get a message saying: Validate license at Pre-chrome" when installing - Creative Suite 5   and the installation fails. I have successfully installed InDesign CS5 updates in the past. Does anybody know why this message is appearing and how to fix it.
    Thanks
    Mike Cowdroy

    I had the same problem with my CS5 Design Premium and this workaround helped for me:  Since I'm working on a MAC, I created a second User-Account (admin) and tried the upgrade from here - which worked out fine..! Not the way it should be of course...

  • Windows Update Error Code 80070663 and 64C

    I am running x64 Vista on an HP Pavillion dv9000 laptop.
    I was cleaning up my desktop when I saw a Word doc I didn't recognize.  I tried to open it and got a Windows Installer window saying "Preparing to Install".  I have an activated, legal version of Microsoft Office 2007.  This is the first time
    I've seen that window pop up.  I let it try to install whatever it's trying to install and it comes up with an error: "This update package could not be opened.  Verify that the update package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application
    vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package."  I am the administrator on this computer.  I have full access to all files.
    This prompts me to start Windows Update to see if that will fix it.  That's where the error codes come in.  The windows updates: "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB959209) x64" and "Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service
    Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243) yielded the error codes 80070663 and 64C.
    I noticed when I press Start, the power button occasionally says "Installs Updates then Shuts Down".  I didn't click it because I had work open I needed to work on later.  Then when I left the computer and came back, the power button didn't have
    the shield on it that said "Installs Updates then Shuts Down".  I shut down my computer anyway and it didn't install any updates, and this is where I'm at.  I've retried installing the updates via Windows Update and it still shows the original error
    codes.
    I've researched this error and came across Microsoft Fix It, downloaded as: "MicrosoftFixit.wu.LB.137269729445221149.2.1".  I've run it and it did not solve the problem.
    Please help,
    Jake

    Jake, did you ever find a solution to your problem? I'm afraid I can't help if you didn't, but I'm experiencing the same problem.
    I also run Vista and had no problems until recently when I had an installation failure on 12th April 2014 for the same two updates:
    Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB959209) x86 - (Installation status: Failed. Error details: Code 80070663)
    Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243) - (Installation status: Failed. Error details: Code 64C)
    I don't know whether it's these updates that caused the problem or an earlier update that has stopped these updates been installed.  The PC is generally working but Word & Excel don't load any more. I get a 'Preparing to install' popup follwed by
    the message: 'This update package could not be opened. Verify that the update package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package.'
    If you did find a solution or any one else knows of one then I'd be very grateful.
    Dave.

    It seems your machine has motherboard with Intel chips. And this problem occurs if you install a driver via Windows Update. You could try to upgrade the latest version driver from Intel, then this problem would be solved. Here is some information about Intel

  • I cannot get windows updater to activate

    I cannot get windows updater to activate

    Hi,
    Before we go further in this issue, I would like to confirm what you mean by "I cannot get windows updater to activate".
    Please let us know more details of it as Andreas Molin and Arnav Sharma mentioned.
    Do you mean you cannot get Windows Update to run, you may try the following steps:
    1. Check Windows Update service's running status, make sure it is automatic. If not, change and start it. Please check the below mentioned services:
     a. Background Intelligent Transfer Service
     b. Cryptographic service
     c. Windows Update
    2. Your antivirus software may be conflicting with Windows Updates. You can test this by temporarily disabling your antivirus:
    Disable Anti-virus software:

  • Problems with the windows update site in 32-bit Vista Business

    Hi Everyone,
    I am experiencing problems with the windows update site. As far as I know it shold make a link to the Windows Update module on-board and show the available updates after scanning. However, I get to the page that says "Checking if your computer has the latest version of Windows updating software for use with this website" and the next page I get is "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view". The error number is 0x80070002. I go to the knowledge base and delete the content of the Data Store folder as advised, but to no use at all. Active X controls are enabled Java is working fine. I've cleaned the register and everything, did a complete scan with Onecare as advised by Microsoft, which did not find anything but again the same error message. I am using KIS 2009 and I am sure I have no viruses or any other malware. I even tried to go to the update site with the KIS switched off but to no avail too. On the other hand I don't have problems with the automtic updates and when I run a manual update from the Update module everything is OK. Do you have any suggestion as to what might be the issue with the website updates?
    P.S. I am using 32-bit Windows Vista Business on a Lenovo W500.

  • After a windows update, iTunes opens with no library

    My computer was recently updated by Windows Update, and rebooted. iTunes may have been running. After the re-boot. I opened up iTunes, and there is nothing in the library. it is empty. Similarly, there is nothing in my podcasts. I looked for my music libraty (37GB) and found it just where it was supposed to be:
    C:\Documents and Settings\mcv\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    I have not updated my iPod since this.
    How can I resrtore my music library and podcast subscriptions?
    intel2.4gHz   Windows XP Pro  

    OK, I figured out what had happened. after iTunes apparently exits, it is not done. I had windows explorer open and I saw that several new files get created, they are temp files, including one called iT.tmp. These files are apparently used to reindex the music library. evetually, the iT.tmp file gets remnamed to iTunesLibrary.itl, and the iTunesMusicLibrary file is rewritten. You can watch this happen after iTunes closes. so, when you exit iTunes, it is not done....it will take about 15 more seconds to finish.
    so, in MYcase, where a windows update was done, Windows closed itunes, and thinking it was done, rebooted my machine. This caused the trouble I had.
    While my iTunes library is about 40GB, I will make some eforts to back this up regularly. you should also backup the ItunesLibrary.itl file and the iTunesMusicLibrary.xml file. You will also notice a couple of other temp files in the iTunes directory. probably no need to back these up.

  • Replaced NIC and cannot run Windows update

    Greetings - I disabled the onboard NIC and installed a Intel Gigabit CT PCI-E Network Adapter EXPI9301CTBLK. On reboot, Win7 found the NIC and everything appeared to function normally.
    However, when I try to run Windows Update or update Windows Defender, which worked the previous day, I get the error code: 0x80248007.
    I updated the NIC driver to Driver_Version: Driver ver 12.7.27.0 date: 5/15/2013 - No help.
    I ran the fixit tool from - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958046/en-us - No help.
    I renamed the folder SoftwareDistribution/Download folder to Download.old - No help.
    I asked Intel Support if they were aware of this - They suggested contacting Microsoft.
    OS: Win7 Pro 64bit 
    I suspect the NIC is causing the the problem obviously and hate to remove the NIC.  Anyone have a suggestion on how to resolve this?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    According to the error code, this problem occurs when some files in the Windows Update are missing, or when the Microsoft Software License Terms cannot be located by Windows Update.
    Microsoft already provide a fixit tool to fix this problem and you can refer to the link below to download and intall it to fix this problem for test.

  • 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. 

  • Go Daddy UCC Certificate: "ExRCA can only validate the certificate chain using the Root Certificate Update functionality from Windows Update"

    Hello,
    I have this issue regarding certificate chains while performing Outlook Anywhere connectivity test
    by Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer:
    "ExRCA can only validate the certificate chain using the Root Certificate Update functionality from Windows Update. Your certificate may not be trusted on Windows if the "Update Root Certificates" feature isn't enabled."
    Note: even if I got the error, Outlook Anywhere and
    ActiveSync services work fine.
    Environment:
    - Exchange 2007 with SP3
    - Go Daddy Multiple Domains UCC certificate (up to 5 Subject Alternative Names)
    I already read and followed instructions on this TechNet post
    Can I safely ignore this warning about the SSL cert? Using GoDaddy UCC cert but it is a little bit different by this case.
    So after an investigation I understand the issue above is related to SSL certificate
    Certification Path (see screenshots below).
    NO ERRORS on ExRCA checking

    Can you add some useful information ?
    I'm opening a support ticket at Go Daddy; I hope they could me some positive feedbacks.

    Strange I have a feeling the exrca tool can't validate the godaddy class2 root authority due some older compability and wants to use the older original root authority valicert owned godaddy. Or when the exrca tool is validating the root CA it only has the
    goaddy class2 root ca that was issued by valicert and not the standalone cert when doing the comparision. I sent the question to MS and will let you know when I hear back.
    You can get rid of it
    https://certs.godaddy.com/anonymous/repository.seam
    Download the cert
    ◦gd_cross_intermediate.crt
    Then import it into the trusted root cert authority on your CAS boxes. Then you need to delete the other godaddy class2 root authority. Make sure you see the one you imported both will be named goaddy class2 root authority but one will be issued by valicert.
    Re-run the test and it will go away, I also saw the error with my domain as well using godaddy and got rid of it by using the new cert authority.

  • [Answered] Is akamai screwing up Windows Update?

    This problem has been solved here:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/62b9fd5c-10b2-4266-bc15-fcf3e79d20d4/solved-windows-firewall-rule-that-allows-windows-update?forum=w7itpronetworking
    Everything from here down is obsolete.
    There are 2 URLs involved with Windows Update. They are
    (This is an excerpt of the help page related to my Windows Update failure.) Put those URLs in your memory banks, and then take a look at this:
    What I'm trying to do is get the IP for 'download.windowsupdate.com'. Why? Because you can't put 'download.windowsupdate.com' into an outbound firewall allow rule, but you can put an IP into an outbound firewall allow rule.
    But look what happens to my ping. I ping 'download.windowsupdate.com' but get back the IP for 'a767.g.akamai.net'.
    Holy Smoke! I've never seen that. The DNS request is being completely overwritten by a different DN. It's like email forwarding, or like HTTP redirection, but at the DNS level. whois download.windowsupdate.com fails. Looking up 'download.windowsupdate.com'
    at Network Solutions fails.
    Could this be what's causing my Windows Update to fail?
    This thread is closely related to this thread:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/065dae90-e76c-4b10-9258-b086ce59e46c/windows-update-error?forum=w7itpronetworking

    Thank you for replying, mystifeid.
    First, let's establish that prior to this evening (early morning now in the Eastern USA), everything worked except Windows Update. All I needed was an outbound firewall rule that would allow Windows Update. I've successfully created plenty of rules (I'm an
    electronics engineer, formerly a developer at Intel). S.Sengupta gave me unwelcome advice. He wanted me to bring down my outbound firewall when all I need is a rule to allow Windows Update. Having responded with inappropriate advice that was not germane to
    my issue, he did indeed poison the thread because no one at Microsoft will take my issue seriously after I reject his advice. And make not mistake, I reject his advice. Taking down the outbound firewall is dangerous and I will not do it. I realize that such
    is the default setup, but that really makes the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security a sham, doesn't it. After all, why have a bi-directional firewall if you're going to open up outbound to any and all connections? I don't want to argue this point with
    Microsoft technicians. If you insist that I have to take down the outbound firewall, then we might as well escalate this to Microsoft engineering right now and save ourselves a lot of typing.
    Here's the rule I created to allow Windows Update. I named it "Allow Windows Update"
    Name: Allow Windows Update
    Group:
    Profile: Public
    Enabled: Yes
    Action: Allow
    Program: C:\Windows\System32\wuapp.exe
    Local Address: Any
    Remote Address: Any
    Protocol: Any
    Local Port: Any
    Remote Port: Any
    Allowed Computers: Any
    Status: OK
    Service: wuauserv
    Rule Source: Local Setting
    Interface Type: All interface types
    Excepted Computers: None
    Description:
    As you see, I've enabled both the 'wuapp.exe' update launcher and the 'wuauserv' update service.
    Kindly tell me: Why doesn't that rule work? Why can I not perform a Windows Update without bringing the outbound firewall down?
    By the way, I took the advice a Microsoft technician gave earlier and now, only my Linux virtual machine can get on-line. The Windows host can't. I'm writing this in Firefox running in the Linux VM.
    UPDATE: Windows host is back on-line. Windows Update still doesn't work, but the error code has changed to 8024402c (was 80072efd).
