Title: (SOLVED)Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 04, 2015, 05:11:59 pm
Unfortunately, my computer is having issues installing 2 windows updates, they are KB3065987 and KB3035583. When I try to install them, the install fails and produces an error message, a different one for each. The errors are 8007371B and 80004005, but I do not know which update had which error. I ran all the repairs in Windows Repair in Safe Mode, I used the official Windows Update troubleshooter and a Windows Update hotfix from Microsoft and none of them work. Help? I am on 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.

HI, try windows update readiness tool.  The link is here, just download and install . While installing wait for it to complete. Once completed , go to c: windows\logs folder. click checksur.log. If everything is shown as nil pending, then your problem will be solved.
This is the minimum requirements for it to work
Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Hope that you have service pack 1

Yes I do have SP1,  but I already ran this. I can try again when I have a free moment, but I do not think it will help any.

Boggin is amazing with windows update issues for now can you open up an elevated command prompt and  can you run a Sfc /scannow
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 05, 2015, 12:12:06 pm
Just did that yesterday :/ It found files it couldn't fix, and someone on this forum helped me fix them. Think I should run a SFC again to be sure? And then if it is sure, should I rerun windows repair (in safemode) with all the repairs plus prescan, and try the windows update trouble shooter again and hope for the best? Because I do really want to update. And plus I have nothing better to do anyway for now.

I was reading your other post on the forum looks like boggin was the one who replied to you and asked for what the sfc scan results were. usually when reading that log you can see what it is that it's trying to fix but can't. okay so what i'm curious is have you done a chkdsk /f /r and reboot the computer then in the event viewer you should be able to find the scan results ill post a picture of the location in event viewer. what we want to make sure is no kb greater that 0 in the bad sector of your hdd.

KB3035583 is windows 10 update app so you can get windows 10 and KB3065987 is an update for the windows update itself lol were you planning on upgrading to windows 10?
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 05, 2015, 12:30:21 pm
Well I'm considering it, but I want to see a compatibility report first at least. It's annoying though because the windows 10 icon isn't there, even though I have a compatible OS, and I'm kinda hoping this update will fix that. And I will do a chkdsk scan, just as soon as the SFC is done.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 05, 2015, 12:43:27 pm
AArgh I ran the SFC and it said that files were corrupted again! The Windows Update must be corrupting them when it fails to install. I reran the repair from the other forum, and am rerunning the SFC. I sure hope this works now.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 05, 2015, 03:09:02 pm
Ok, I ran the checkdisk program and I managed to find the log, and it said 0kb in bad sectors so WOOT. Still, I am annoyed that Windows update still won't install those files aargh
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Boggin on August 05, 2015, 03:18:36 pm
Can you try installing those two updates again but separately and in the order they are presented and then make a note of the error code for each.

With Win 10 associated updates, a specific error code could be peculiar to each and that will make looking for a solution much easier.

You should see the amount of error codes people are getting when trying to install Win 10  :smiley:
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 05, 2015, 03:41:29 pm
OK, I will do that. Also, I ran the Windows Update Diagnostic, and it said I have error 0x8007371B(2015-08-05-T-04_31_02P)

I do not know much about error messages, but the first part I think was one of the errors Windows Update gave me. As soon as I try to reinstall the updates separately, I will supply you the codes for the updates.
UPDATE: The update KB3035583 gave me error 80070002. Now investigating the next one.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 05, 2015, 03:46:50 pm
Now KB3065987 gave me error 80246007
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Boggin on August 05, 2015, 04:01:05 pm
Work your way through http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-update-error-80070002#1TC=windows-7 for the 80070002 error and the 80246007 seems to relate to the BITS service.

Have a look at this article to check if it's started.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-update-error-80246007#1TC=windows-7

Let us know if it refuses to start.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 05, 2015, 08:54:46 pm
Ok the BITS service was already started, and I am following the instructions to fix error 80070002. I am now checking for updates.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 05, 2015, 09:14:25 pm
Sigh It's never simple, is it? KB3035583 now gives me error 8007371B instead of the other one.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: jraju on August 05, 2015, 09:39:59 pm
Hi,
                       By the by, did you check the checksur.log. Please enclose it.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Boggin on August 05, 2015, 09:54:32 pm
These cmds run from an elevated cmd prompt are a general WU fix, depending upon the cause but they do cover 80246007.

Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

Enter exit to close the cmd window, reboot then retry the WUs.

If you can copy & paste them to the cmd prompt they will auto run.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 06, 2015, 12:08:50 pm
OK I did the commands, but the KB3065987 still failed, with yet a new error code 80004005.I am now checking the other update.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 06, 2015, 12:13:03 pm
Now KB3035583 failed with the code 8007371B. Oh, and jraju, I do know I ran the system update readiness tool, but I cannot find the log, or the program so I am redownloading and rerunning it. I will post the log asap.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Julian on August 06, 2015, 01:00:52 pm
Log should be in safe folder as sfc log just named. Checksur .log sur means system update readiness
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 06, 2015, 01:03:25 pm
Yeah I googled it, but it wasn't in there. I am reinstalling the hotfix for sur, and the folder is there now, but no useful information in it yet because it hasn't finished.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 06, 2015, 01:09:41 pm
Ugh. The installation finished, no errors detected. That means it probably didn't fix my problems. Reinstalling updates just to be safe.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Julian on August 06, 2015, 01:12:21 pm
Hmmm alright let me know upload that log ill pick it apart im decent with sfc corruption. There is 4 outcomes in that log and how to read them ill break that down and show how to read that later. If you would like.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 06, 2015, 01:19:41 pm
Ok, but I warn you there is not much to pick apart.
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Julian on August 06, 2015, 01:33:31 pm
Heh heh that was easy so if you can delete the old log of the system file checker then run the command in elevated command prompt sfc /scan now and post that clean log so i can look at that. It will give me an idea of what it cant repair
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 06, 2015, 01:40:39 pm
Well should I delete the old log, because the SFC log is inside of the CBS log. Is there any way to seperate the SFC log from the CBS? Because unless I am very mistaken, deleting the CBS log is not a good idea. But on another note, unless it recorrupted (again) I do not think I have any SFC errors. Should I run it again anyway?
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Julian on August 06, 2015, 01:56:51 pm
Cbs log yes sorry tired if its small upload it ill read it
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Tacotardis42 on August 06, 2015, 02:02:03 pm
ok lemme redo the sfc
Title: Re: Windows update updates not installing
Post by: Boggin on August 06, 2015, 02:17:27 pm
When the sfc /scannow completes and reports unable to repair some files, you can use the following cmd to post an abbreviated version of the CBS Log.

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

If you can copy and paste it to the cmd prompt, it will save the risk of typos.

This cmd will put an icon onto the desktop which you can double click to open the CBS Log in Notepad which you can then copy & paste into the reply box.

Run the tweaking repair in safe mode select all repairs. Run the program twice then when you try to update it will take a lil while to check for updates thats normal. Just drink some tea and wait then let me know what happens after you finish

Post by: Julian on August 06, 2015, 06:45:57 pm
When Shane is up for 3 days straight converting caffeine to code and not moving from his chair (except to eat etc etc)and not sleeping. And to tired to test on some computers i load up a vm and test if he asks me to lol sometimes if he finds a user who found a bug he will make a test version and have that user see if he fixed it i think it happened to gamez oneday with the md5 test in the beginning was pulling a different hash it was specific to his version of Windows. I don't use any passwords on mine either but if you have multiple computers on a network and you want to share files with out creating a home Group you need to add a password to your account because Windows wont let the computers talk correctly.

Well the update they mentioned in there is one of the ones failing :p. Well I suppose it's almost useless to have, considering I don't need to restrict guest accoints from anything, as there is no one else using it. Still, I just want to update, for no reason whatsoever.

Well even though I scanned with avast this week, using Advanced System Care from Iobit said I had A trojan :/ I am now doing a check with Malware Bytes. And I have Malwarebytes antirootkit with rootkit damage repairs, do you think that might be worth a shot to run? Also, the trojan was kt_bho.KettleBho , and I peeked in Regedit and I found it, and another entry called kt_bho.KettleBho.1 . After the program deleted the first, the kt_bho.KettleBho.1 was still there. Do you think I should remove it too?
