Windows Update Error 800B0109 after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 Installed

Hi, I have this error message when running windows update, it happened after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 installed.
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thank you.

Hi,
Please make sure that your antivirus application does not scan the files in the
%windir% \SoftwareDistribution directory on any computer on which Windows Update Agent is installed.
You can also temporarily turn off the antivirus application and check the result.
Or run the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
Net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Net start wuauserv
Try to install updates again.

I tried the commands as well, still prompting the same error.

  • 80246002 error after installing Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320

    This problem prevents Windows Update from being able to search, download, and install updates.
    I am experiencing this issue on machines running Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 Enterprise (I imagine this an issue with Windows Update and not the OS so this is probably affecting other OS' as well).
    This problem is becoming widespread quickly.
    The proposed fix (method 1) in the article below did not resolve the problem:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958056/en-us
    Note: Method 2 is not viable when applying more than one update at a time especially when you are updating multiple machines.
    Several others are posting similar problems:
    http://windowsitpro.com/windows-update/tracking-error-80246002-windows-update-problem
    http://forums.techguy.org/windows-7/1132320-windows-update-problems-4.html
    This is preventing scheduled server maintenance from being performed.
    Could this be a targeted attack? Happening at the end of the week before a long holiday weekend is not leaving me with a very good feeling...
    I would hope that fixing this issue would be a very high priority.
    BTW - There is no "Windows Update Issue" forum category that I could find - If there is, sorry for posting in the wrong area.
    Cheers,
    Jeff

    My fix that worked...
    Reviewed the operational log for the WindowsUpdateClient (buried in the Event viewer here:
    Application and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> WindowsUpdateClient -> Operational
    After review, I noticed that event 30 "Windows Updates established connectivity" was no longer occurring and that event 42 "There has been a change in the health of Windows Update" was the only thing after the error (Event 25 "Windows Update failed
    to check for updates with error 0x80246002")
    Even though the machine was restarted after applying the "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320" patch and I had tried restarting the Windows Update service, the service appears to be hung.
    Solution:
    1.) restart the Windows update service
    2.) monitor the operational log for the WindowsUpdateClient (refreshing every 5-10 seconds)
    3.) verify that event 30 happens (you should see event 38 after restarting the service followed by (2) event 42, then event 30)
    4.) Once event 30 happens go to the Windows update GUI and run the "Check for updates" - yay!
    5.) You can go back into the operational log and see event 26 "Windows Update successfully found x updates" followed by an event 40 for each update found.
    What is really strange is that I checked the first machine that experienced the problem and it magically fixed itself.
    It seems like this may have been caused by DDOS attack on the source for windows updates that the Windows Update service connects to. Or the source location was having maintenance performed.
    Regardless, in my case, this was not a problem with the OS or the patch but the inability for the Windows Update Service to establish connectivity.
    Hope that helps somebody :)

  • Windows update requesting to install Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320

    I received this today when trying to manually scan for available updates via the windows update in control panel. It shows message as below. Seems that it will install the latest Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320. Will this machine able to get any patch
    deployed via SCCM if the WUA is not updated to the latest version?

    I can't say I've heard of any widespread issues with this version of the WUA so YMMV as always. If you do have an issue, you should contact CSS though.
    As for it being pushed automatically, that's correct and is no different than past WUA agent updates. It is considered an infrastructure update and is thus automatically installed via Windows Update or WSUS regardless of your client update settings unless
    you've actually disabled the WUA via group policy (not the service though) -- this includes ConfigMgr also because ConfigMgr does not in way pre-empt WSUS and leverages WSUS behind the scenes.

    Hi @raghavraj ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I did some research into that error message and it appears as if it is a virus or malware. I would recommend that you run your anti-virus and anti-malware software to fix this issue.  It appears to be related to a Conduit search program or add-on.

    The App Store version sometimes gives problems. As you can't install 10.8.4 from the App Store, download and install the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US This edition will work and will update OS X to the most recent version, in that case, 10.8.4

  • Windows update error 0x80070BC9 with windows 7

    Hi,
    I have only one Windows 7 machine which has started to show 80070BC9 in Windowsupdate.log file when trying to install Windows updates KB2478662. I believe this refers to a "pending update" which needs to be completed before other updates can follow (normally
    after a reboot).
    I restarted the computer many times, tried to install this update manually, tried .Net cleanup tool, strated the computer in selective startup mode (without load startup items) and reset Windows update components. unfortunately I still
    have the same problem.
    I get the following in Windowsupdate.log file:

    Hi,
    I understand that the issue persists after registering the Windows Update files and removing incorrect Registry values that may exist. And before that
    you have tried manually installation, disable antivirus, checksur but the update still cannot be installed.
    Based on my experience, the update fail issue may occur when there are problems with winsxs folder, disk or Software Distribution folder. Please try the steps below and check the
    result.
    ===========================================
    1.
     Rename Pending.xml
    1). Open an elevated command prompt
    2). At the command prompt type the following command:
    takeown /f C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml
    3). Rename c:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml using the following command:
    Ren c:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml pending.old
    2. Run Check disk (chkdsk) on the OS partition
    1). Open an elevated command prompt
    2). At the command prompt type the following command:
    Chkdsk volume: /f /r
    3. Rename the Software Distribution folder
    To rename the Windows Update temporary SoftwareDistribution directory follow these steps:
    1). Start an administrative command prompt.
    2). Run the following commands hitting enter after each line:
    Net stop wuauserv
    cd %systemroot%
    Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
    Net start wuauserv
    3). Try to install updates again
    Important The following issues occur when you do this:
    • Updates that are currently downloaded but that have not yet been installed have to be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
    • When you delete the Software Distribution folder, your download history is removed.
    • If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and from Windows Update, you will have to re-select this option from the Windows Update Web site.
    Note: If the issue is resolved and you can successfully download and install updates, you can safely delete the SoftwareDistribution.old directory to recover disk space.

  • Internet Explorer 9 not showing as not installed when using Windows Update - Error: Code 9C48 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

    I built a few new Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 VMs today and ran into a problem where Windows Update is not detecting the fact that Internet Explorer 9 is already installed. Internet Explorer 9 keeps showing up as an available update when
    using Windows Update. When I try to install it as a test I get the error message: Code 9C48 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
    My normal build procedures include applying all the patches for the OS prior to any other work on the servers. The way I like to do the patching is to do every update other then IE9 in the begininng and once all the other updates have been
    completed, install IE9 and then patch it if there are updates available. I followed this procedure on every build for the last year and I have not run into any issues until today. The only difference today is the latest patches that were released yesterday
    April 10th, 2012. To test the theory that it may be one of the latest patches, I reinstalled Windows from scratch making sure to format the disks and then I installed IE9 right after the OS install without any other updates. Once the
    server was rebooted, I checked Windows Update and Internet Explorer 9 still showed up as update (Not the Cumulative Update which normally shows up after an IE9 install) and yes, I did make sure to click the 'Check for Updates' link before I looked just
    in case. My next test was to patch a couple of the servers I had built prior to April 10th, 2012. Those servers did not have any issues with the latest updates and they are not experiencing the same behavior as the newly built servers.
    I ended up comparing the IE9 Version on the cleanly install OS (No updates were installed except IE9) and the servers I built last week which were patched. The versions are exactly the same.
    My findings above lead me to believe that there is a problem with the latest IE9 install package (which includes the latest cumulative update) and the Windows Update detection component.
    I guess I am looking for someone to report this up the chain to get this fixed so no one else runs into this problem. I know in some cases we may not be able to see additional IE9 updates until this is resolved.

    I just started having the same problem.
    I was creating a new VM in Vsphere from our 2008 R2 SP1 image and it hasn't been updated and repacked in a while, so i have to install about 60 updates, including IE9.
    I went through my normal setup as i had just created 2 VMs and updated them on Monday with no problem.
    I got the same error code as you. The install looks like it installed IE9, but the update is still showing up as available in Windows Update.
    I deleted the VM, created a new one, chose all updates except IE, then did that and it still shows up again.
    Then i deleted the VM, installed just IE 9 and it still shows up as available on reboot.
    I have a script that i can use to reset/clear WSUS cache on the computer, (Software distribution folder, and the windows update log, and recreates a certificate), so i tried that and then rebooted and it still showed up.
    I then decide ok, maybe the Image got messed up somehow, so i started creating a new 2008 R2 install from scratch last night and chose to update just IE9 as the first install. I did that, rebooted and it didn't show up in Windows Updates, so i though GREAT.
    I proceed to kick off the 100+ downloads needed before i left and left the console up.
    When i got in to work this morning, the updater seemed stuck on 31 of 102 updates, this one in particular: KB288516. I rebooted the computer, because it wouldn't stop and just seemed stuck since last night, which these updates should only have taken about
    an hour to install at most. I log back in and sure enough, it now shows Internet Explorer 9 at the bottom of the update list as being needed for install.
    I believe this is Patch Tuesday week, so maybe they screwed up something with the Windows Update detection engine, because it worked fine on Monday when i had to update IE9 on 2 VMs that i created.

  • Iphoto window is acting strange after latest update

    After the latest update to iphoto, the window will not toggle to the front of any other open window when selected. I have to minimize all other open windows.
    Help!

    Are you referring to iPhoto 9.4.3 on your Mac?  If so try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • T410: Getting 'Windows Delayed Write Failed' after applying updates

    I have a T410. A 2522-AN4. Running Windows XP/Pro.
    I have the System Update process running. Every week I get notification of any updates, etc. that I may need to attend to.
    On 10/29 the pop-up came up. There were a number of updates in the 'Optional' category.
    I installed them all.
    As soon as I rebooted the machine, I started received these 'Windows - Delayed Write Failed' popups. Basically the popup window names a file and indicates that 'Windows was unable to save the data for the file C:......'. Almost every boot up would give me one of those for a file with a name that ended in .....crmlog. Sometimes that would be the only message I got. Other times I might get one or two more popups during my use of the machine. Sometimes when printing which would have a file that ended in ....SPL. I never received these errors before applying these updates. I ran a CHKDSK on my drive. It was clean. I ran the HDD diagnostics from the boot menu. Ran perfectly. I did a defrag of my C: drive. No problems. I tried disabling Write Caching on the C: drive. Didn't help. I'm pretty much left to believe that one of these updates I applied has exposed me to this issue. Now the question is which one? And what do I do about it?
    Here is what was installed on 10/29:
    ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility US                                       1.32-1.12
    Intel HD Graphics Driver for Windows XP(GM55)            6.14.10.5292
    Intel Pro/1000 LAN Adapter Software for Windows XP   11.5.10.1030
    Intel AMT 6.0-MEI and SOL Driver                                        6.0.0.1179D
    Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver for Windows 32 bit        9.6.0.1014
    Conexant Audio Software for Windows 7/Vista and XP   4.95.48.0(Win7/Vista)/3.66.146.0(XP)
    ThinkVantage Active Protection System 32bit                   1.72
    ThinkPad UltraNav Utility                                                       2.13
    ThinkPad Power Manager                                                     1.88
    ThinkVantage Communications Utility                                1.42
    ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP       5.72
    Presentation Director                                                              4.56
    ThinkPad Hot Key Features Integration Package Setup 3.11.0001
    Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP                           13.03.0000
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    OK, that makes sense. That is the driver for the controller for the hard drive?
    I double checked in Device Manager. I was at 9.6.0.1014.
    According to the Lenovo site that is the latest. I also checked the Intel site and it also listed that same version as the latest.
    So I did a Rolback of the driver. That seemed to go with no problems.
    Restarted. Got the same error on that .....crmlog file during startup.
    So I went back in and now I turned Write Caching back ON for my C: drive.
    Restarted. No error on ...crmlog this time. I'll keep running and see if any more pop up.
    I think I'm also going to look for some Lenovo diagnostics that run under Windows. I think I saw those.
    Does the ThinkPad BIOS Update Utility US that also got installed on 10/29 actually update my BIOS?
    That was the other area that looked concerning. 
    I'll keep you posted. I think we are on the right path here. Although I did have some hard drive trouble when I first got the machine in August. The tech I worked with said that there had been some known problems with the hard drives (320GB) in these machines. But it seems to have run fine since I got past that.
    I'll keep you posted.

  • Version of Windows 7 not Genuine after recent updates

    On 9 Dec 2014, my machine installed windows updates automatically. The next day when I restarted the machine, I received a prompt saying that my version of windows was not genuine. I checked in the control panel system window which said that windows had
    been activated. Called support and the walked me through activation, which was done over a year ago, when I first built the machine, and everything seemed fine. Then, today when my wife started up the machine, she received the same prompt. I am running
    windows 7 home premium 64-bit, with a single user profile. There is also a new icon on the desktop titled "install downloaded windows 7 64-bit _v2" or something like that. Any ideas?

    Hi Garsimtech,
    Normally update should not reactivate windows.If you replaced some important hardware like the motherboard ,hard drive and so on, it will result in reactivating .Sometimes, the malicious program will result in reactivating.
    Have you tried to call up suppot again and what is the result ?
    If the call support will not solve the issue,please run the tool in the following link and get the diagnostic report, it’s recommended to post the report in our Genuine Advantage forum, members there have more experience in analyzing the activation diagnostic

  • Skype Failed to install error 1603 after windows r...

    Hey everyone! Thanks for any help in advanced.
    Honestly after losing access to an old account and making a new account I've still been a long time fan of skype and love free 1 on 1 video calls. I'm really hoping this is an easy fix because honestly I've been looking at the skype community forums for the last hour and havn't been able to find a fix.
    About 2 and a half hours ago I reduced the size of my only partiton on my 500 GB harddrive as much as I could. After doing this I reinstalled windows on the new 200ish GB partition. After installing and loading windows I coppied skype, smite, and steam from D:\Program Files to C:\Program Files (x86) and attempted to run skype. Skype opened and I signed in as usual but skype was having a really high CPU usage and kept reading/writing to some statistics.db file at several GB/s (Total IO was like 1.8GB/s, mostly write I think). The 13% cpu usage, although concerning as abnormally high, didnt really bog down performance too much. This high disk usage was really driving my mad as when it peaked my computer would almost stop responding and skype.exe would stop responding (although it resumed eventually). Skype in this state was unusable as any time the window was focused it almost crashed.
    After this I decided to reinstall skype instead of using the backup I had. I went to uninstall skype and found that it didnt show up on the list to "uninstall a program" so I tried following as many steps I could at https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10634/how-can-i-completely-uninstall-and-then-reinstall-skype-for...
    I've also followed all the steps here except for installing an earlier version of skype as I'm not sure what version to use. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-Problems-Troubleshooting/td-p/52260
    I force ended skype.exe then made backups of my skype user and pictures folders. I skipped step 3 since it wasn't in the list. I then did steps 4-6. While doing this I noticed it said there may be "up to 50" references to skype in the registry but I noticed there were a lot more. I'm not exactly sure how many there were but I counted up to 40 and when I noticed I was only half way through the registry I started spamming "delete" key "enter" (to confirm deletion) as fast as I could.  I'd say there were at least 70 skypes in the registry. I'm not sure if this registry includes things from my other installation of windows or if it got **bleep**ed up because of they way I tried to install skype.
    After doing all this with my registry I rechecked to make sure the skype program files and skype app data folders were deleted and then tried to reinstall skype. Downloading from http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ I tried to reinstall it and all I did was unchecked "run skype when windows starts" hit next unchecked the bing and skype click to call stuff, hit next. After it said installing for a while it said installation failed error 1603.
    I tried following advice of several posts on the forums and other sites, including going through the registry again, using Microsofts FixIt for install/uninstalls, and trying to install skype from another administrator account. After looking at several posts, trying all these fixes, and looking into it myself I'm really not sure what to do.
    I've looked at all of the following posts and tried all the fixes I saw.

    Not really sure what else to say or do, I've never really had to debug any programs or windows features before, and the only time I ever messed with the registry was a few windows installs before when I had to delete several instances of a self-reinstalling virus on my computer that spammed processes and lagged my computer.
    Edit: After seeing this link I tried rerunning Microsoft's FixIt Install/Uninstall with the program ID from the folder name at %programdata%\Skype. I tried doing this and installing Skype from SkypeSetup_6.1.0.129.msi. Installation failed with some failed to read file totally forgot what it was. I then tried using the standard InstallSkypeFull.exe and it gave an actual error this time instead of the apparently "generic" error 1603 (see attached picture) After this installation failed I tried reinstalling from the 6.1.0.129.msi and it didn't say it failed. I'm about to try and open it.
    Anddd opening Skype failed with the error message in the attached skype2 picture. I'm just going to close everything related to that except for this post and I'm going to close all my installers and debug stuff I have open and just wait for a reply. Currently I believe the system thinks skype is installed but I can't open it.
    Solved!

    I'm afraid that after all the manipulations your system is so messed up that a regular Skype installation is no longer possible.
    Try this:
    Download but not run this msi-installer for Skype 6.9.0.106 version:
    http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi
    Create a folder on your computer where you want Skype application to be located. This folder can also be C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\, but any other location will work too.
    Now using the procedure described here:
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/How-to-update-Skype-without-using-any-Skype-ins...
    extract Skype.exe file from the SkypeSetup_6.9.0.106.msi file and copy this Skype.exe file to the selected installation folder.
    Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). You will have to start Skype using this new shortcut.
    P.S. There is a new link to the latest Lessmsi program:
