Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.

I get errors saying A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
That makes two similarities to the following thread. Both Windows Update and Troubleshooters fail to work correctly.

The fix was to install a new hard disk driver.

T500 - Windows Update no longer works after using factory recovery disks.

I'm running Windows 7 32bit. I needed to restore my T-500 hard drive because of a fatal windows registry error caused by a 3rd party registry cleaner/tuner software... Windows 7 was DOA .
I used the factory recovery disks I created after I first fired up the laptop in April this year, all went well, Windows 7 booted up, and I went through the "Starting Widows for the first time" setup dialog, Windows 7 sucessfully activated... also verfifed it on the Microsoft website.
Went into control panel to have windows update pull down all of the critical updates released after I got my Thinkpad and I got a pop up saying "windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer."
I checked... the windows update service is running, so is BITS. Following suggestions from Microsoft support, I have 1)deleted the softwaredistribution folder from C:\windows, 2) run their "fixit tool", 3) renamed the CatRoot2 folder in C:\windows'system32, all to no avail each time I tried to use windows update after each "fix".
I decided to check here if anyone here has gone down this path before and ask what fixed it?
I'm waiting for Microsoft support to reply to my last email informing them the last instructions to rename the CatRoot2 folder and retry windows update failed. They now have a copy of my windowsupdate.log file sent to them.
How about it... does this situation sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks.

I run into the same problem with fresh installation of W7 Pro on T530 with 1TB samsung disk.
This solution worked for me:
    Running check for updates will trigger this error message:
“Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.”
Solution:
1.    Go to Administrative Tools/Services, and stop the Windows Update service.
2.    Then go to the folder c: /Windows/SoftwareDistribution and delete all of the files and folders.
3.    Then go back to Services and restart the Windows Update service which will recreate all of those folders again.
4.    Then manually run the Update Service and everything should work.

Keyboard does not work after using Support Drivers

I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 15" 2.4GHz C2D, and managed to get Bootcamp installed on it with Win7 Home Pro. I have verified that it runs correctly, but it is missing many of the drivers needed to make things run smoothly. I no longer have my Leopard disks that the machine came, so I figured the WindowsSupportDrivers would be the way to go.
When I install them and reboot, the keyboard does not work. When I hit capslock, I get the caution notice indicating underneath my password field indicating the capslock key is on, so it's not like my entire keyboard is disabled. The system is unusable right now, since I have to enter my password to login, and it does not take any keyboard input. Using an external keyboard did not resolve this issue.
I did a system restore to get it back to a usable state for the time being.
Is there an alternative to the BCA support drivers or the Leopard disk? What's going on with my keyboard after the driver update?

Maybe you have installed obsolete drivers. If you have Lion, open Boot Camp Assistant (Applications > Utilities) in OS X and download Boot Camp drivers

hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?

Windows Update does not work, Windows Standalone Update Installer stops with error 0xc8000247 (Windows 7 Home Premium on Acer Aspire 1810TZ notebook)

I purchased a new notebook with Windows 7 in October. During the first weeks I uninstalled McAfee and replaced the harddrive. Since November Windows Update fails with error messages and defender does not start anymore. I made several virus scans (complete) with multiple antivirus programs but nothing showed up.
Since it took my days to install various software, I do not want to re-install W7. I also have no good backup that I could restore.
I am really surprised that there is not even a single entry regarding the error code in the Microsoft Knowledge base or elsewhere.
I really would appreciate help.

I hit this same problem... I spent days trying to figure out what went wrong. MS advise of doing; Windows7 re-installs, BIOS/firmware updates, drivers changed, etc etc etc.
I installed a new(large) SEAGATE Momentus XT hybrid 750GB SATA drive upon newly purchased notebook, but the twist here is between the storage configuration mode in the BIOS, ATA vs. AHCI. See, the DELL BIOS required to configure my laptop storage for AHCI
mode, because I had the 4GB Intel Flash Cache Module (Turbo Memory) installed on the DELL Precision notebook. The Flash Cache is installed internally in the mini-pcie slot, loaded the Intel storage drivers, and when it works, is an outstanding feature which
supports:
Windows ReadyDrive*
Windows ReadyBoost*
Looking at the details of the Intel storage drivers that support the INTEL TURBO MEMORY, they're from 2009. Of course it was recommended by users to install these drivers first before anything else, so it would function best, but this was part of the
cause to all the problems with Windows 7. I've provided links to Intel Flash Cache info for those interested. Unfortunately, loading the HP/Intel Storage drivers fixes the Windows permissions/update problems, but "Breaks" the Intel Turbo Flash Cache
functionality now, even though Microsoft still supports ReadyDrive in Windows 7.
"Intel® Turbo Memory is a primary PC component, along with the CPU, chipset, and system memory. It caches large amounts of frequently used data or user selected applications for faster access by the processor. This decreases the need for hard-disk accesses,
saving both time and power, which equates to increased performance and energy efficiency. That's good news for users who run data-intensive software like media applications. It's also a good match to the substantial system requirements to load and run Windows
Vista*.
Intel Turbo Memory is a single solution that accelerates data transfer both to and from the processor."
Intel discontinued support for the modules or drivers with the marketing move to producing their own SSD storage drives.

For me, I hit all the symptoms everyone else hit and thanks to humphrey for his find. I just wish Microsoft/Intel would get together and fix this Windows 7 issue between SW/HW; Large Drive Sizes, Licensing/Permissions, Flash Memory, ATA vs. ACHI, BIOS, etc.
There's been an incredible amount of loss productivity, resources, and costs incurred on this one ISSUE by everyone involved.

Windows Update no longer works after using Lenovo Enhanced Recovery

Using the system recovery backup disk I created when I first got my T500, I performed a recovery to a new larger HD that I'm upgrading to.
All went well, windows booted up and I got the "Starting Windows for the first time" message and then I went through the setup wizard... Did everything like I did when first got the T500. Windows 7 activation was successful
Now here's the rub, I tried to use Windows Update retrieve all of the updates released since April when my laptop was built. Windows Update flat out refuses to work. I keep getting a pop-up box saying "windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to start your computer".
I checked the Windows Update service, it's running. I've gone into the windows folder and deleted the software distribution folder as instructed by Microsoft support. They wanted me to also download and install a "CheckSUR" tool from their support website, but the install falls with a a pop-up from Windows Update Standalone Installer with an error: 0xc8000247.
Now this is all on the new HD, when I swap the older on back in there is no problem getting the updates.
I'm stuck, has anyone encountered this type of thing with Windows Update?

I executed the "fixit" in both modes at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058
Windows update still refuses to work. All pertinent services are running.
Since this is an attempt at installing a larger hd, I swapped back to the original drive and verified that windows update has no problems when running on the original HD.
I've now started again from scratch.
I put the new larger HD in a SATA/USB HD docking station that I just bought. I formatted the new HD clean, then instead of using the factory recovery disks like I did before, I used Acronis True Image, which I downloaded from the Western Digital support webpage, to clone the original HD over to the new one.
I powered off the laptop, pulled the original HD out and put the new HD in , unplugged the now empty SATA/USB HD docking station, booted up, windows starts and comes up with all looking fine, except... again, windows update still refuses to work.
I went back to the Microsoft website above, ran the fixit action in aggressive mode, and windows updates still gets the same result... When I open windows update in control panel, Windows Update is in red. When I check for updates, I get the pop-up saying "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
A check of services shows that Windows Update, Cryptographic Service and Background Intelligent Transfer Service are all started.
This is really frustrating... this should be a simple HD upgrade. It appears that with whatever means that is used to copy or place an image of the original HD on the new HD, Windows 7 is not going to let me use update on the new drive.

Aperture 2.0 Activation Key does not work after using older trial version

I was using the installed trial version of Aperture 1.5+ in my recently purchased MacBook Pro Duo (December 2007). After using the trial version for 30 days I debated whether to take the plunge ...and then within a few days recieved word that v2.0 was out at 199$. That motivated me ...however, here I am nearly one week later without ability to activate a full blown version of 2.0.
I recieved the activation key, but it doesn't accept it in the dialog to upgrade in the trial version. Hint seems to be that it is not a serial number I am entering but an activation key.
I did not order a boxed version, so what do I do now? Support is not too helpful as I have searched Apple's website and have no clue as to where to go.
Last resort ... I want my $199 back!

did you download the trial for Aperture 2

Windows Update does not work

Windows update always says that there are no new updates (for months now - obviously it's not true). When I try running manually an update file, it almost always gets stuck on "Searching for updates on this computer".
Also, usually when I run a program (such as task manager), I succeed only on second try. First time results in: "the stub received bad data".
I tried all these in different combinations with very limited success:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
sfc /scannow
del C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*.*
regsvr32 <lots of dlls>
stopping and restarting these: wuauserv , bits , cryptsvc
chkdsk c:
Windows update troubleshooter
Microsoft FixIt
Any ideas how I could fix my windows update?

Hi,
For the error "the stub received bad data", please check Event Viewer firstly. Generally speaking, it would identify this error message.
For Windows update problem, Did you install any other updates? Did you installed Widnows 8.1 update 1?
If this problem persists, I would like to suggest you install Windows 8.1 update 1 manually.

Linux logfile monitoring does not work after using "privileged datasource"

Hello!
I have noticed a strange behaviour on one of my Linux Agents (lets call it server_a) regarding logfile monitoring with the "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Datasource" and the "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Privileged.Datasource".
After successfully testing monitoring of /var/log/messages on server_a with the "Privileged Datasource". This test has been on server_a and the MP containing this rule has been delete from the management gorup before the following tests.
I wanted to test another logfile (lets call it logfile_a) using the normal datasource "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Datasource" on server_a. So I created the usual logfile rule (rule_a) in XML (which I have done countless times before) for monitoring
logfile_a. Logfile_a has been created by the "Linux Action Account User" with reading rights for everyone. After importing the Management Pack with the monitoring for logfile_a I had the following warning alert in the scom console managing
server_a:
Fehler beim Überprüfen der Protokolldatei "/home/ActionAccountUser/logfile_a" auf dem Host "server_a" als Benutzer "<SCXUser><UserId>ActionAccountUser</UserId><Elev></Elev></SCXUser>";
An internal error occurred. (the userid has been changed to keep the anonimity of our action account).
To make sure I did not make any mistakes in the XML i have created a new logfile rule (rule_b) monitoring "logfile_b" on "server_a" using the "Logfile Template" under the authoring tab. logfile_b was also created by the "Linux
Action Account User" and had reading rights for everyone. Unfortunately this logfile rule created the same error:
Fehler beim Überprüfen der Protokolldatei "/home/ActionAccountUser/logfile_b" auf dem Host "server_a" als Benutzer "<SCXUser><UserId>ActionAccountUser</UserId><Elev></Elev></SCXUser>";
An internal error occurred. (the userid has been changed to keep the anonimity of our action account).
Although both rules (rule_a and rule_b) used the "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Datasource" which uses the Action Account for monitoring logfiles, the above error looks to me as SCOM wants to use the privileged user, which in this case it not necessary
as the Action Account can read logfile_a and logfile_b without any problems.
So after a few unsuccessfull tries to get both rules to raise an alert I tried to use the "Microsoft.Unix.SCXLog.Privileged.Datasource" for rule_a as last resort. Then suddenly after importing the updated Management Pack I finally received the
alert I desperately waited for this whole time.
Finally after lot of text here are my questions:
Could it be that the initial test with the Privileged Log Datasource somehow screwed up the agent on server_a so it could not monitor logfiles with the standard log datasource? Or may anyone of you might have an idea what went wrong here.
Like I said both logfile could be accessed and changed by the normal Action Account without any problems. So privileged right are not needed. I even restarted the scom agent in case something hanged.
I hope I could make the problm clear to you. If not, don´t hesitate to ask any questions.
Thank you and kind regards,
Patrick

Hello!
After all that text, I fogrot the most essential information..

Thanks for the explanation of how the logprovider works. I tried to execute the logfilereader just to see if there are any errors and everything looks fine to me:

Strangely I could not acces the "Action Account User" directory under /var/opt/microsoft/scx/log as "ActionAccount" user. Is it ok for the directory to have the following rights: drwx------ 2 1001 users? Instead of "1001" it should say "ActionAccount",
right?
This could be a bit far fetched, but perhaps the logfile provider can´t access logfiles as the "ActionAccount" on this server because it needs to write in the scx.log file. But as the "ActionAccount" can´t access the file, the logfile provider throws
an error. And as "Privileged Account" the rule works flawlessly, as the logfile provider running in root context can access everything.
Don´t know if that makes sense, but right now it sounds logical to me.

Report Generation for Excel does not work after using the Application Builder

I have a VI that writes data to an Excel file using the Report Generation Toolkit. I recently compiled the VI into a single Application (EXE) using the Application Builder. My VI runs its tests properly, but no data is written to Excel. What could be the cause? I don't receive any error messages.

Hi
I usually build exe-files, which sometimes also have report functionality.
Open the Application Builder and check the following things:
1. Add the following vis: _Word Dynamic VIs.vi, _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi They should be located in the directory ..\LabVIEW X.X\vi.lib\addons\_office in the llbs _wordsub.llb and _exclsub.llb (report1.jpg)
2. If you use an Installer, go to the Advanced Settings. There you can select some things to include in the Installer. Check if "NI Reports Support" is selected. (report2.jpg)
These are the things I always do, if I need reports and I never had problems up to now. I made two screen-shots of these settings.
Hope this helps.

Equium does not book up - used wrong Recovery Disk

I have a Toshiba Equium and also a Satellite Pro, the Satellite Pro needed wiping but I used the Equium Recory disc, it now won't boot properly, no network adaptors are working correctly as well as the video adaptor and the graphics.
I have no disc for the Satellite Pro and because I've wiped the drive with the wrong recovery disc, can't create one.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi
I assume your notebook can boot the OS properly but the drivers dont functions because the hardware is different.
In such case you can solve this easily installing right drivers!
Visit the Toshiba European driver page and download the necessary drivers for your notebook series.

Hi,
You don’t install VS2010 on the client PC, then where did the Form Invoice not work? When you run it from another version of VS? Or when you run the application with application.exe?
Based on your description, one form works well, another form does not. I assume that two forms are in two different projects, then please check the .Net Framework used by the two projects. If they are different, you can use the
one used by the Form contact for Form Invoice.
Because this issue is a project issue, I recommend you to consult it on some application forum such as Windows Forms General forum for better support.
VS General Question forum mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
System and Visual Studio Editor.
