Delete A Failed Update From Windows 7 Download List?
Aug 28, 2012
Dozens of Windows 7 Updates failed when I took the recommended. I think it's because they were for 64 bit and I have 32 bit. Now, everytime I shut dow, it takes ages because it tries to install those updates. Then when I eboot, it reads Failure configuring, revertin changes - and bingo, the laptop shuts down
I want to remove the Windows media player from the open with list. (When i right click on a video file i have a choice to choose a player,so i want to remove the Windows media player from that list)
I imported my RSS/Feed list in IE8. I have over 200 entries in my Common Feed List and I want to start over with just a select few. So first I want to delete all entries. My question is this. Is there a way to delete everything in the common feed list at once?
I had a dual boot with Windows 7 and Win8. I wanted to remove Win8 cause I was bored and didn't need it. I did everything right.

But the boot manager failed. When I restarted I got an error saying that their is some invalid information. I didn't have the Win 7 disc, so I put the Win 8 disc and installed it in the partition that had win 8 before, hoping that it would recognized Win 7. But hasn't. So now I have a partition of Win 7 but it is not getting recognized.
I have reviewed my update history and noticed security update KB2621440 failed in MARCH, I haven't had any problems, when I look at the details it says error code:80004004, since then all other security updates have installed okay. Will the fact that latest security updates were successful mean that everything is okay.
I have win 7 x64, all updates are ok except Update for Internet Explorer 8 and ATK0110 ACPI Utility. I have acpi from asus site installed for my system and its ok. Why is update for internet explorer 8 failed, is it because I have internet explorer 9 installed......
I've tried to install the sp1 update several times now, allways getting the error 800b0100. I read up on the problem in several forums but nothing has worked for me. I ran the System Update Readiness Tool but I still can't install the update.
Long ago i updated my bluetooth adapter driver, and the caused malfunction. I downloaded the driver from Dell Support website (apparently there are 3 under 'Network', and i get a lucky shot) and the bluetooth is fucntioning once again. however i checked through the device manager and found '!' marks on Bluetooth Peripheral Device. something is not right. Recent windows update (automatically) has failed to install over and over again, hence prompting to redownload the same update every time i turn on the laptop. Specifically, its is 'security update for the .NET Framework 4 on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2: January 8, 2013 (KB2742595)'.. There is another update coming (also tagged as Important) but come to fail as well. So currently there is 2 pending updates.While im having these problem, the boot time has increases noticeably. Long black screen appears before the login page turn up. Some says this is related to device/driver error. im not sure myself. Very recently i have my Avast Antivirus not working (turned off) and every time i ask it to turn on or resume, nothing happens. It remain not-functioning and so, i uninstall Avast and adopt AVG Antivirus. i think this is around when i was installing the bluetooth driver from Dell.
I have an Acer Aspire AS5251 laptop. I was in "Backup & Restore", running Backup. I went to bed after inserting the sixth backup disk. I woke up this morning and I had to login. So, after that, I noticed a popup window with a message saying that my windows update had occured overnight and my computer had restarted.There was also a Windows Backup Error Window indicating that my backup did not complete successfully.Question is, how do I get the backup to continue and not have to start from scratch
about a month I have a problem with the updates of windows 7 professional 32 bit. When I turn on the PC, Windows tries to install an update, it hangs at 35% and the pc restarts 3 times before using it. after, if I click on search updates, I have error code 8000ffff. I tried microsoft fixit but I have not resolved.
I bought my computer from best buy a couple of days ago and I recently got a message saying that my version of windows is not genuine. When I try to run the windows activation update it gives me "Update installation failed. Error information - 0x800B0001" and I still get the message that my windows is not genuine.
I was applying the some updates to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and the update process failed. I shut down the computer and when it rebooted, the computer reported my Internet connection was down. My computer is still getting an IP address and DNS settings from the router. I can ping 127.0.0.1 but as soon as I try to ping my router I get the destination host net unreachable message
- I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling IPv4 (netsh int IP reset C: esetlog.txt & netsh Winsock reset (both as administrator)) - I have tried uninstalling .NET since that is one of the upgrades that failed. - I have tried re-running Windows Update to see if the updates which had downloaded would install (failed)
Windows troubleshooter is worthless as it keeps suggesting the network cable is unplugged or broken.
I have a new build using Windows 7 HP SP1 64-bit which has been up and running for about a month. MS updates for 11/14/12 included the Kernel-Mode Driver Framework version 1.11 for Win 7. This update failed to install (several times), even when done alone. First time since building system where it has failed an update. Only thing I have added since original build is a EVGA GTX 650 video card (last week).
After four or five trial and error attempts of system restores to find why my computer was having such an insanely long boot time I finally discovered that it was an optional windows update titled "Intel Corporation- Display - Intel(R) HD Graphics." I avoided the update and my computer worked amazingly. However, my girlfriend recently used my computer and decided to perform some updates...the Intel HD Graphics update being one of them. So of course now my computer is experiencing the same slow boot time and general sluggishness.

I've been having some problems installing KB2757638 Windows update for weeks now. Tried troubleshooting but I always get the same result.... installation is failed.
Over the past week I have been prompted for multiple windows updates. Some have worked, some have not. I had a tiny box show up last night saying that my computer was going to run maintenance and I delayed it. As I shut down, it gave me the installing or configuring updates blue screen. This morning I got that screen again, got to 100% before it told me it failed. Opened windows and all looked ok.Now I cannot open webpages. IE/firefox/Opera all open, but none can open any website. I get the usual screen you get when you can't access a page. Internet is working in the house. I've tried multiple other devices. Wireless is turned on with the laptop and I attempted to run the troubleshooter for my wireless connection. It says the connection is fine.
I tried to update my leveno thinkpad 14edge and a sign said that the system administrators polices won't allow it to be updated. My question is Why? and who is system administrator or where do I change the setting so I can update.

I have an HP Pavilion G6-1d40ca. It crashed the other day while I was using it, and when I restarted it, it went to BIOS update. It froze while updating, and died in itself (I think the battery died, it wasn't plugged in. I never knew about BIOS update, so I wasn't expecting for the battery to die during the update, so I didn't plug it in.) Second time, booted it up (it was plugged in this time), and went into BIOS update once again. All's good, was able to use the laptop for about five minutes, then it crashed once again. Now, when I boot it up, nothing comes up on the screen. No nothing. The power button is on, the wi-fi is on, the LED light is blinking non-stop, more than 6 times than what is referred to the HP website.
I tried doing the remove battery and adapter, press power button for 30 seconds, plug it in without the battery, but to no avail. I also did the whole win+B, but doesn't work either. I tried pressing f11, but nothing comes up on the screen. I don't remember where I put the recovery discs that came with the laptop. I thought I put it on the box together with recovery discs for our other computers at home, but I guess I didn't. The thing is, I don't know where to begin, since I don't have anything on the screen itself. Not even a start-up logo or something.
The latest slew of updates has brought me some trouble, and one of this woes is a failed update. Here it is: [URL]
I read about my problem here: [URL]
Unfortunately, I'm not sure if my problem is the same as theirs, and if it is, I don't know how to fix it; I don't want to insult anyone, but the input on how to fix it was a bit vague.
i upgraded from windows XP 32bit to Windows 7 ultamat 32bit. my raptor HD is still almost full. is it because there is still the XP partition? if so is it ok to delete XP partition and windows 7 will run fine and be like a fresh install?
I use iTunes because I have an ipod touch, iTunes wants me to update it before i will sync my ipod touch. It won't update it tells me to download only the update threw the software, I've done a google search and no one that posted a fix had one that worked, i've have this issue before and i tried to uninstall and reinstall itune and nothing worked.
Just received a new OCZ Agility 3 SSD and are having some issues. I've installed the drive and formatted it, I have also tried to update to firmware on it countless times all of which have resulted in 'Firmware Download Failed'. The drives also seems to be disappearing occasionally and requires a restart before it appears again. I want to update the firmware before I clone my old HDD to it.
How can I download service pack 1 for my windows 7 cause then my windows update downloaded it properly but I had to cancel it but when I tried to download it again it wont download I also don't want to download it directly from the site cause its 500 mb in windows update its only 60mb. My net ain't that stable and fast I really need the service pack so I can install IE10 preview.
brief, I have a PC that runs Windows 7 (obviously) and I'd like to choose when to automatically download updates rather than having to download them by myself. But I'm finding no option for that, all I can find as settings in Windows update are :Install updates automatically. (Which means they're gonna be downloaded at anytime and I don't want this to happen.)Download updates but let me choose when to install them. (Same here)Check for updates but let me choose whether to download or install them. (Here, I will have to download them manually by hitting download)
2 days of searching google, its various articles, forums, sites.. but none of them apply.Issue: Error Code 800B0100 when trying to install Windows Update KB2556532.I've got no idea what to do at this point, even downloading this "tool" the help file suggestsdoesn't fix anything, I couldn't download it at first, it froze 3 other computers in the processan somehow I eventually got it but as I launched it I soon learned it'd freeze at thelast 5-25% of the progress bar aka "HANGS" the whole system.Along my journey I learned that any virus scanners & firewalls HAD to be disabled to have anyhope of getting this far, but now.. it's just at 'that" point.
Win 7 64 bit home prem. (not my idea to get this os, i hate it thus far) sp1 with seeminglyevery update but this ONE.I don't have a windows disc for this, its got that stupid "windows disc saved to a partition"crap that I hate as I'm sure many others do too.Zone Alarm & Avast but those get disabled so I don't think thats going to matter to ya'll.I can't think of anything else that'd get in the way, oh an the "trustedinstaller" thingy isenabled an running so.. ya.Hope someone else can solve this, it's a brand new laptop, never "upgraded from anyprevious windows-whatever".
I bought some software for MS Flight Simulator today which involved a very large download (over 10GBs) - I left it running whilst I went to work. I had 13.5 GBs left on my C drive (one of 2 partitions on a 128GB SSD) so figured all would be OK. When I returned 10 hours later, the download had failed, as, apparently, my C-drive was full. No idea why - I know there was enough room for the 10GB download. I could only guess that some temp files were downloaded at the same time (??).
The problem now however is that after deleting my browser (Firefox) cache, running the Disk Cleanup from Properties/Tools for C drive, I still have only 3GBs left. What happened to the 13GBs space I had this morning? What else do I need to clean up? Tried a System Restore - no change. I noticed that my ProgramData folder (hidden) is over 12GBs - most from the indexing service (Microsoft/Windows/Search), but that would have been there before today. (I've disabled the Windows Search service and moved that folder to an archive on another drive - I use a 3rd. party search engine, SearchMyFiles, for my PC, which is much faster than the Windows Search in any case).
Having removed the Search folder, if I show hidden files & folders, then select everything in the C Drive, sys files and all and then show 'Properties' - I still get some 4GBs less (28GBs) than is recorded in the Properties box when right-clicking the C-Drive root (32GBs) - where's the difference? I haven't run checkdisk yet, but before I do is there any obvious area I need to clean to regain the 10GBs I lost today?
Windows update could not search for downloads. Encountered error code 80070005. Norton 2012 security installed. Tried there support for help and they said it was not a problem from Norton.
Why is it that i can`t delete a folder in my downloads?The folders are empty but still show up in my downloads.When i click delete i get the messages "you need permission to perform this action"and "you require permission from the computer's administrator to make changes to this folder" I am an administrator.Don't understand.
