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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Solved!

  • [Solved] Alt-Tab window switching no longer working after update (JWM)

    The next issue I am trying to straighten out after a recent, long-overdue pacman -Syu, is the loss of window-switching functionality using the alt-tab key combination. This is under the JWM window manager, by the way. The alt key seems to work as expected when, for example, firefox has focus: if I hit alt left arrow, the browser goes back to the preceding page. But if I hit alt and tab together, say, in the browser or when a terminal has focus, it seems to be read as though I were pressing only the tab key. So, with two windows maximized on the desktop, the alt-tab combination does not toggle between them. If the terminal has focus I can see the cursor jumping over a tab space each time I press the key combination.
    Can anyone offers pointers on how I might resolve or begin diagnosing this issue? I should mention that another change I did in the wake of the update was to make the system log me in and start the GUI each time I boot the machine (as discussed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … h_profile). I'm not sure why that would have any effect but I thought I should mention it. I think this is just a pretty standard pc105 keyboard by the way.
    Input will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    James

    Thank you for your input, anonymous_user. I decided, on reading it, to compare my .jwmrc with the /etc/system.jwmrc file. I noted that, in my .jwmrc, the keybindings section was empty, while that section in the /etc/system.jwmrc had several entries--and even one that seemed to refer to the alt-tab key combination. So I copied that section into my .jwmrc, restarted JWM, and the key combination now seems to be working as it should. Granted, it's a bit strange in that it doesn't open some kind of dialog box with the names of open windows, showing you in list form the windows you're scrolling through. But it does take you to other open windows when, after you've hit the tab key one or more times, you release the alt key. So the issue is resolved and was pretty simple.

  • Windows services no longer working after 10.4.9 update

    Hi there
    I have updated our server from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 and since the update our windows services won't start. I go in to server admin and press the start button. the windows server begins to start up and then stops. I have downloaded the combo update directly from the apple site and reinstalled this and still no luck. Does anyone know of any way to get Windows up and running or if I need to delete any files to get it going. the only other service currently running is Apple file services. We have print services but I have disabled this to see if it solves the problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Generally when windows does not start loading the default smb.conf file resolves the issue in my experence. You can create a new share point to make sure the default gets updated with the current settings.

  • Software update no longer works after 10.4.9 update

    After I applied the 10.4.9 update, using the combo updater and fixing permissions both before and after, Software Update can no longer connect to the Internet. I also ran Onyx, but it didn't make a difference.
    Any ideas? Could a network-end firewall make a difference?

    I just came across an article on the Unsanity weblog, www.insanity.org/archives/macos_x/shock_andawe.php, entitled: "The Dangers of Updating: Don't Do Anything While Optimizing." It says there is a bug in 10.4.9, of which Apple is aware, that messes up "prebinding" if any other activity is done while the optimizating is going on. Using Mac Helpmate 1.1, I optimized "update prebinding." It characterized that process as "Reassociating applications with their dynamic libraries." It returned a log as long as King Kong's arm saying many times, "environment variable disabled use of prebinding in (file name)." An inability to Download Updates is not a result mentioned in the Unsanity weblog, but it may be a result nevertheless. I have frequently used other applications while downloading updates. If this is the cause of the problem, I still don't know what to do about it. John Nelms, [email protected]

  • Urgent - Updates no longer working after certificate renewal (production app)

    Hi,
    Updates pushed for our production AIR application are failing after a renewal of our expired code signing certificate, and performing the certificate migration procedure as outlined here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS13ACB483-1711-43c0-9049-0A7251630A7D.htm l
    The error message appears as: "This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. "
    The AIR app installer log indicates the source of the problem:
    "The certificate of the installed app fails to match either the signature or migration signature of the AIR file"
    However, the migration procedure has been executed exactly as described, using the correct certificates. The Adobe AIR 2.0.2 runtime (and adt) has been used.
    We need to push an important update asap, and advising our end users to reinstall is not feasible.
    I am willing to provide anything necessary to resolve this as quickly as possible. Please advise.

    Happy to report that we found the source of the issue ourselves:
    There is apparently a problem with ADT (at least in the AIR 2.0 SDK) where it will appear to perform a certificate migration succesfully, but in actual fact will silently fail and not update the .AIR file at all. This happens when the output filename is equal to the input filename, so this problem arises if you follow the example in the documentation:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS13ACB483-1711-43c0-9049-0A7251630A7D.htm l
    A simple workaround is to choose a different output filename. In any case, be wary that ADT does not provide feedback whether a migration actually was performed. Check the file timestamp and size to be sure.

    Hey Simmons19,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the camera on your iPhone 5. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    1. If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    2. If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    3. Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    4. Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    5. Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    6. Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    7. Try to remain steady while focusing:
              - Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
              - Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    8. If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software update, startup disk, iCloud, etc. no longer will launch. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use. No go!

    Many of my System Preferences will no longer work after installing Mountain Lion. Software Update, Startup Disk, iCloud, Time Machine, Notifications, etc. no longer will launch even though they do show their icons in the system preferences window. I keep getting a drop down window saying I must restart system preferences in order to use with a "Cancel" or "OK" choice. After I click on "OK" the window just keeps reappearing with the same choices and the pane I wish to use still remains inoperative. Third party preference panes DO work.
    Reinstalling OSX Mountain Lion did not help. Neither did throwing away preferences.plist.

    Hi Jeff,
    Tried to reply with my iPhone but not easy! Anyway, back on the laptop now. Yes the crash was bad but Tek support at Prism Sound was really good. In the end I rebuilt the whole system on a new disk which took a couple of days with all the plugins, softsynths etc.... but there seemed to be no alternative in my case, and this was agreed with Prism sound as being the only alternative left to me. I still don't really know what caused the crash but ML and Orpheus are both working fine now. Let's face it, you'll have to update at sometime..maybe best to pick some time between projects On balance, I suspect that my problems were unique to my system and that your installation will go ok.
    Hope it goes well,
    Rick

    Dear Apple friends,
    I have the exact same problem with some apps.
    Even when I try some websites in Safari and Chrome that require loading big chunks of data they crash.
    Today it crashed in two new places. In the notification center and when I opened newstand app I no longer was able to return to the main window and the dock disappeared.
    I have my ipad retina for about three months now but latelly this issue has became more frequent. What should I do?
    Should I update to the latest firmware and do what raymond73 said?
    Is there a fix for this issue?
    Has Apple said anything about this? Because I see that this issue is happening to a lot of people.
    Is it possible to downgrade to iOS 6?
    Is it a firmware problem? That can be fixed in future releases? Or an hardware issue?
    Should I wait or go to the place I bought it and try to get the money back?

  • Apogee Jam No longer working after 1.1 update?

    My apogee jam is no longer working after updating to Garageband 1.1. I have an Ipad 2 with firmware 4.3.3.
    Specifically what happens is:
    1. I open the garageband app
    2. I select the guitar amp
    3. I plug the Jam chord into Ipad (guitar is already connected to cord)
    4. Jam light goes green, blue, bright green then green
    When Jam light goes bright green, the monitor button in garageband goes dim and doesn't work.
    I've tried plugging my guitar in first, then starting garageband, no difference in results.
    I have tried turning the monitor "on" prior to pluging in the jam, when I do this the monitor/sound gate window stays open until the Jam bright green goes on, then it disappears and the monitor button goes dim.
    Outside the garageband app, the ipad does recognize the Jam in settings, general.
    What's worse (for me...) is that I backed up the Ipad in itunes thinking that app data would also be backed up (as I read that in a description of backup). I then deleted garageband from the ipad and then restored it from itunes. Guess what, lost all my songs... Bummed out... Why wouldn't my songs be backed up???
    Anyway, any ideas on the Jam issue would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I am just overlooking a setting?

    Unfortunately, I don't believe that Apple keeps prior versions of Apps available at the store. GB was the first app I purchased there day one of my Ipad, incredibly worth the $, and I did actually look to see if you could go back legitimately.This is just one of the many reasons to JBreak your devices, so that you can go backward if you need to. This is a perfect example of why Apple should make prior versions available, but they think they know it all and never make mistakes, so that will never happen. Again, this is why folks take things into their own hands and why the scene exists. There are plenty of abuses, more than not IMO, but here is a perfect example of how people are screwed and can't use their Jams any longer without a JBroken device. They obviously know that this issue exists, they have employees on these forums. It will be months if ever they fix this issue, because the number of owners of Jam, although in the thousands, is small potatoes compared to the Apple owner universe. I believe it will only be fixed if Apogee is able to put enough pressure on Apple. If you see the Jam removed from the Apple store and GB site you know that Apple is choosing not to fix it, because they won't sell or promote it directly and then have to deal with complaints and returns. But even this will happen slowly...
    Actually it occurs to me that Apogee may have to redesign the Jam AGAIN in order to get it working with 1.1 on Ipad 2 and Iphone 4s (devices with the newer processor). I wonder if they will recall or replace the Jams for people who now have Jams not compatible with Garageband. Again, Apple should be posting a warning for Jam owners on the Garageband download page, but that will never happen because Apple doesn't care about small potatoes.

    On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
    do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
    I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
    Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

    Hi,
    When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
    When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
    The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
    These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
    Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
    In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
    Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
    This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
    You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
    You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
    I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
    There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
    No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
    Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
    In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
    In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

  • HP OMEN Control Software No Longer Works After Windows 10 Upgrade

    HP OMEN Control no longer works after the recent Windows 10 update. Profile switching, keyboard LED colors, zones, fn key options, etc. no longer respond at all. I've found references to this issue during Windows 10 beta testing. Is there a temporary workaround? Will there be a driver update to remedy this problem? Thanks.

    I just purchased a new 2015 refurbished PC.  It worked great with Windows 8.1.   Upon installing Windows 10, The Omen control did not work as well as the fan.  Really - hardware failure.  Give us a break.  So, I went back to Windows 8.1. Also this year, I purchased an Envy X2.  This PC included a bluetooth keyboard that kept detatching.  Again - REALLY, the keyboard doesn't work.  That's a pretty important part of the PC.  I searched the forum for answers and all I found was the same old line that HP was working on it.  I found meesages over a year old that had this same  problem. So, back it went to Best Buy.  I used to really like HP computers, but now, I can't say that anymore. So, do I trust HP to fix this in a timely manner, NO.  Why - because they had to know about this issue alrady for quite a while.  And, they did not fix it.  I really hope they prove me wrong.!! I will give them 1 more week to fix it.  After that, the PC will be returned.  And HP PCs will be off my scratched off my list, except maybe the HP Spectre X360.  To my amazement, I am even considering a MacBook Pro.  Funny thing - the Spectre X360 is supposed to be a great laptop,  But, Microsoft was heavily involved in the design process.  That is certainly not an HP confidence buider. HP - THIS IS YOUR TIME TO "STEP UP TO THE PLATE" and fix this mess.  TImes like these are opportuniies to win over customers or loose customers to the competiion.  I really want to keep this PC.  It is by your response to this problem that will determine the outcome.

    And this part keeps repeating every 5 seconds with different timestamp, until I delete the document from queue.
    The CUPS ownership of the USB device file seems OK:
    ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/006
    crw-rw---- 1 root lp 189, 5 Mar 9 14:17 /dev/bus/usb/001/006
    I've been working on this problem since yesterday and now i'm stuck. Can someone please help?
    EDIT
    I think it's something related to the driver. If i change the driver to another printer model from CUPS the printer works. Prints garbage, but at least works. So this means that we have to wait for a new driver or what?
