Windows update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.

I've read through quite a few post and ran the MGADiag on the system in question.
I tried turning Auto update on and off, rebooted, removed a ton of malware, and have scanned multiple times using Hiron's to make sure it's clean. After all that, it still gets the exact same error referenced in the subject line. At this point I'm in serious
contention to do the 'upgrade' to repair the OS. Windows 7 Home Prem OA is listed on the tag attached to the tower.

  • Windows update could not check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.

    I restarted my computer but still have this issue.
    I changed the setting from "install updates automatically"  to "never check for updates". clicked ok and then changed back to "install updates automatically". Tried to check for updates and still receive the same error.
    Windows defender was turned off. I turned it on updated it but still receive the same error message.
    The background intelligent transfer service and windows update are set to "automatic delayed start" and the status for both is "started".

  • Windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running

    Running Windows 7 on a Dell N5110. 
    I get the above message for Windows Updates. Below that it states: Find out more about free software from (null). 
    I have restarted the computer. 
    I have run McAffe and MalwareBytes Pro- nothing wrong.
    This answer didn't work because the Software Distribution folder was
    already empty:
    go to services and stop Windows update service
    locate C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ folder and delete all its content
    start Windows update service
    check for update
    Under Services:
    BITS is set at Automatic(Delayed Start)
    Windows Update is also set at Automatic (Delayed Start). It is stopped. If I try to start it, I get the following message: Windows could not start the Windows Update service on local computer. Error 1079: The account specified is different from the account
    specified for other services running in the same processes. 
    In addition, the Windows Update shows nothing under view update history and nothing under hidden updates. Change settings allows me to do absolutely nothing. Red Shield with an x and the options are shaded. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Someone has tried the following methods to resolve the similar issue,please have a try :
    1.go into Windows Update and change the settings to "Never check for updates (not recommended)", click OK, and then change it back to "Install updates automatically".
    2.Turn on the Windows Defender and update it .

  • Unable to update.  Receiving message:  The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware is not compatible.

    I'm trying to update my iPhone but am receiving this message:  The iPhone could not be updated because the firmware is not compatible.

    You may have to arrange to take the product into an authorized
    service agent for the iPhone (or other affected iDevice) to see
    if they can apply the correct firmware update, to help resolve the
    issue of upgrade; or if they have a way to put it as it was prior to
    the attempted upgrade to a later iOS.
    See all worldwide telephone support numbers
    Contact a mobile carrier
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Visit an Apple Retail Store
    Pending some release of another update to the iOS, you'd need
    to have someone's hands-on effort to correct the issues your
    product faces now, before another round of upgrade attempt.
    Sorry that I have no exact method to attempt to resolve your issue.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Whenever i try to update my macbook pro, it downloads then says I need to restart my computer. I restart the computer, and everything just freezes. When my computer eventually turns back on, its not updated. other apps i try to download dont download also

    First, do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    When you complete the above re-download your OS X upgrade (not sure which one that is, but I assume Mavericks.) After the download is completed re-install it. Hopefully, this time it will do what you expect.

  • My home button is not working sometimes and at the store they dont want to take it for repair because the problem did not show up at that time

    My home button is not working sometimes and at the store they dont want to take it for repair because the problem did not show up at that time

    When normally powering the phone, there would not be a loading bar, you would just see the Apple logo. You can try a reset of the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
    You can take the phone to Apple, by making an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the hardware checked. Apple handles warranty and post-warranty issues, not Verizon. Have Apple look at the hardware to see if there are any problems.

  • Virtual Machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not running

    Hi
    I have installed Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition with a GUI. Default configuration, nothing special.
    Whenever I want to turn on any machine inside of Hyper-V, the following error message appears:
    "Virtual Machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not running"
    Whenever this happens, I run the following command:
    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype Auto
    and reboot the Server. After a reboot, all Virtual Machines can be started without Problems. However, as soon as I shut down the Server instead of rebooting it, the Problem happens again and I need to enter the command again and reboot.
    Now my question is how to solve this Problem. I never had this Issue with Windows Server 2008 R2, maybe there are some differences regarding the Hypervisor in Server 2012. How can I make sure the Hypervisor is always on, even after a Shutdown? Thanks in
    Advance

    Hi,
    Please check whether you have event log with ID 3112.
    Hyper-V requires hardware support, including: an x64 CPU; VT (Intel) or AMD-V (AMD) hardware extensions; No eXecute (NX)/eXecute Disable (XD) and full BIOS support for hardware virtualization.
    Check if the computer meets the hardware requirements, use the appropriate utility for your CPU manufacturer.
    If the computer meets the requirements for Microsoft virtualization software, see the video titled
    Hypervisor is not running error: How to fix
    , which demonstrates how to change the system BIOS on a computer to enable support for virtualization. Make sure DEP and CPU virtualization is enabled in BIOS. (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163578
    Also, check that
    Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store is set to start the hypervisor, and then restart your physical computer.
    The BCD store contains boot configuration parameters and controls how the operating system is started in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. These parameters were previously in the Boot.ini file (in BIOS-based operating
    systems) or in the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) entries (in Extensible Firmware Interface-based operating systems).
    You can use the Bcdedit.exe command-line tool to update BCD store with the correct launch options as referenced in the error, and then restart the server. Bcdedit.exe is located in the \Windows\System32 directory by default.
    For more information please refer to following MS articles:
