Windows Update Problems

In response to your PM:

You did not post your request for help in the Malware Forum where one of us would have commented on it by now. You posted in the Software Forum. However, your problems are not due to malware anyway. Windows Update problem rarely are but they can be.

Did you try the suggestion already posted in message # 3? Since you did not respond,,why would you expect anyone else to?

 

Hi

What you may need to do is to re-register some .DLL files that WU uses, to do this follow the below,

Click Start > Run and enter ( or copy and paste the bold commands below ) the command below into the Run box then click OK

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

You should then receive a message to say it was successful, then do the same for all of the below one by one.

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 atl.dll

regsvr32 msxml3.dll


go back to Windows Update or Microsoft Update and try again.

 

Hi good, glad that was the fix, as to why, it could be a multitude of things that cause this from Malware to a corrupted or bad install of an update and if one of the above .dlls gets un-registered you get errors or a non-functioning windows update.
