[SOLVED] (please help with sfcfix) windows update not working on vista sp2 32bit

paciotto · Jun 16, 2016

Hi all,

I hope this is the right place/way to (kindly) ask: I am working on the computer of a friend in which windows update seems not to be working: it remains "stuck" at the "checking for updates" step.

I also tried the "microsoft fix it" tool for windows update (which could not solve - translating from italian- "problems connected with recent updates" ), and also tried to run the system update readiness tool which actually only worked once, and now remains "stuck" at the "checking for updates" step as well.

As you probably, suspect, SFCFix itself recommended that I "seek advice from helper or sysnative.com" ;-)

Thanks in advance

Here and on some "relevant" logs:

Hi thank you very much for the reply.
Unfortunately I am out of town until Sunday but I will certainly try what you suggested on Monday and tell you what happened.

Thanks again

zcomputerwiz · Jun 20, 2016

Sounds good.

paciotto · Jun 21, 2016

Hi again, I finally managed to run SURT again with the files you posted above (this time I chose to leave the computer on overnight: the "checking for updates" part of SURT probably took many hours to complete (but it did complete in the end

).
Anyway, now windows update does show some available updates: given the other logs I posted in my original message, should I go on with the installation of the updates, or should I perform other steps before trying that?

Thanks a lot again for your help

Hi, I did what you suggested:sfc completed with the message: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them". In attachment the related log as you "requested"

Thank you

Looks like it is only this file that is corrupt :)

Let's replace it and then run SFC again to verify.

SFCFix Script

Hi, I did what you recommended. SFC completed without any "integrity violations" found.

Do you think we can consider the problem "solved" or are there any further steps/checks to take?

Thank you very much again
