Windows Updates fails configuring

<< < (4/5) > >>

scarsxp:
Hi, I have a suggestion for you. I know it's not a solution to your real problem. You can still try to fix that.

But I update my windows through this method:
I use two programs, Auto Patcher.exe, and Apup.exe

One (Apup.exe) will let you choose which updates to download from microsoft, such as non critical and critical depending on your operating system. And the other one (Autopatcher.exe) (offline updater) will load all the files downloaded, and check the ones you have already installed and the ones you don't will be unchecked. And you can choose what you want to update and it will install them one by one automatically. It's third party tools. So it's up to you. I like to do things manually.

I could understand people not wanting to trust third party tools. And they just want to do it with Microsoft updates, so it's just a suggestion.

I already scanned the programs used with virustotal.com to make sure they aren't trojans or viruses.  You can check on it.

Note: You need Windows update service enabled for it to work

It's called "Apup_1_4_38.zip"
from
http://www.autopatcher.net/forum/

Auto Patcher had 1/51 ratio detection on virus total, which I believe was a false positive.

Apup had 3/51 ratio detection on virus total, which had 3 false positive generic detections I believe from some random un-reputable anti virus programs.

You can use it at your own risk. Just throwing out the suggestion there.

Hi Shane

UAC is on and the updates failed again, I cannot do a screen shot as the message comes up during the boot cycle.

"failed configuring updates undoing changes"

Regarding the browser crashing I only have Google Toolbar and Google Toolbar Helper enabled in Add-ons.
it only happens when I copy Base Filtering Engine from your post and not from mine.

And it is still happening.

Cheers

Daniel

I don't know which link either of you are using for BFE but try this one http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/win-services/7/BFE.reg and I think you may have to launch it.

Not a service problem. The updates are installing but when windows goes to do the final steps of the updates after reboot is when it fails.

Go to the winsxs folder and scroll to the bottom, past all the folders. What files do you have there?
