Windows Update
« on: October 03, 2013, 03:52:10 pm »
When I attempt to download updates from Windows Update I get Code 8024443 Windows unknown error.....the Tweaking program did not fix this nor has anything I have found on the internet.

What repair in the Windows Repair tool did you run?

Also did you try this trick yet?

But did you use my Windows Repair tool?

Also do you have service pack 2 installed on your vista machine?

OK good :-)

Normally my repair tool gets it working again. If it still isnt then something else is going on.

Did you ever try the dns trick yet?

I downloaded the DNS program and enable it.......still the same error code 80240043 unknown error.
Should I disable and remove the DNS program since it did not correct my original problem?

Let me know if the new version of the Window repair helps. If it doesnt then something else is going on. And you already did the scans for infections with combofix.exe and malwarebytes anti rootkit?

In the new version of the Windows repair I did add some more to the repair Windows updates, thats why I want you to try the new version :-)

I have ran Windows Repair All v2 with the same error.....also installed the latest Windows Update Agent.....also went to services and stopped and restarted Windows Update.......same error.
Right now I am manually installing most updates.
Should I delete the DNS Tweaking package since it did not correct anything?

Yeah you can remove it, in fact once it sets the dns you dont need the program, it doesn't run in the background :-)

Does the event viewer show any errors that might give me some more info?

Event Viewer says "MMC could not create the snap-in" so this just keeps getting worse  :sad:
Basically the computer is running fine except the update problem......I work around it by going to Windows Update and finding the KB numbers and manually going to Microsoft.com and downloading them......not the most efficent way but it works.......It is just wierd that I cannot find a fix for this???
Thanks for all of you help it is appreciated.

hhhmm but event viewer cant open either, you get the snap in error.

I have a feeling more is broken then we realize.

I think a repair install, not a fresh install, would be the next thing to do. A repair install allows you to keep your files and settings.

I assume your on Windows 7. So first thing you need is a Windows 7 disk with SP1 already on it, you can grab one here

Then just follow this guide :wink:

Ah ok your on vista.

The repair install is a lot like the Windows 7 repair steps. Is that how you did the repair install?

I just helped a user where they had a virus that didnt delete the windows update service but instead corrupted its registry setting, so not even trying to delete it will work. Lets see if you have the problem as well.

In the registry go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv

Are up able to view it or do anything with it or do you get an error?

OK so you have a different problem going on, and to be honest I am a little shocked the repair install didn't fix it.

Try Windows updates again and when you get an error take a screen shot for me and post it :-)

Is it only that one update that fails? Can you get me a screen shot of what that update is?
