Updated windows 7 error. Windows Update - Troubleshooting. Unable to update due to lack of memory
As you know, starting with Windows XP, Microsoft has been constantly releasing so-called system updates and service packs. However, it is worth noting that in Windows 7, for some reason, the update error is much more common than in other operating systems. What to do with it, we will now figure it out.
Why does Windows 7 need an update?
If the error occurs again and again, the reason for its appearance may be that the file itself, which is responsible for starting the update process, is damaged. In this case, you need to perform a deep scan with any anti-virus software, but it is better to use utilities that have the general name Rescue Disc, which are launched even before the system starts from optical media.
Firewall and antivirus issues
An equally common situation, when in Windows 7 an update error appears even after all of the above actions, there is a process conflict hidden from the user's eyes with a regular antivirus or firewall.
It is clear, after all, that the update program refers to a reliable source (in this case, directly to Microsoft resources), so they can be temporarily disabled before starting the update process, but only on condition that the preliminary check showed the absence of viruses and threats.
Error after Windows 7 update
Now directly about the most common mistakes, apart from what was described above. Windows 7 update error codes is a fairly large database, let's look at the three most common ones.
Error 643 is related to the inability to update Microsoft platforms.NET Framework. Other components of the system can be updated, but it is her update that causes the error. It should simply be removed from the system and reinstalled after downloading it from the official Microsoft website. latest version. By the way, as far as deletion is concerned, it's best not to use standard means from the Programs and Features menu. In this case, advanced uninstallers come in handy, removing absolutely all residual files and system registry key entries from the system.
One of the most powerful programs of this type is the iObit Uninstaller utility, which has a special Forced Uninstall mode.
No less common is the error with the code 800b0100. In this situation, the most acceptable solution is to use automatic problem fixers such as Fix It or the System Update Readiness Tool. In most cases, they are able to fix problems automatically, even without user intervention.
But the biggest headache for many users is the error code 0xc0000005. It appears after installing updates to the system. Usually, given type The error is caused by updates in the form of packages KB2859537 and KB2872339. Removing them also allows you to get rid of annoying errors.
The easiest way is to type in the command line wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2859537 or the same, but only for the KB2872339 package (of course, you must be logged in as an administrator). If this does not help, you will have to use the update log, in which all packages should be sorted by date. Most likely, some latest update is causing the crashes. Now you need to remove the packages one by one, each time restarting the computer until the error disappears (you can use the same command line). When the problem is fixed, you can manually install the updates again, but exclude the problematic packages from the list.
This issue affected Windows 7 monthly and security updates, which means that important security patches cannot be deployed to the affected machines until the bugs are fixed.
When accessing the support page, you will notice that the error is now marked as a known issue, although it was not mentioned at the time of the release of the updates.
Installation this update may fail with error code 0x8000FFFF.
To resolve this issue, before installing this update, install KB3177467, the current servicing stack update for Windows 7 SP1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
The update was marked critical even though it is not a security update for Windows 7. This status is because servicing stack updates are required for the update process to work correctly.
Servicing stack updates are periodic updates that are released to service or update the Windows platform software stack. The updates contain fixes and corrections to the code that is responsible for processing and managing updates and are intended to improve the reliability of the update process and eliminate bugs that block the installation of patches for various parts of the system when cumulative updates are deployed.
Servicing stack updates help you maintain a robust and polished servicing stack so that your devices receive and install Microsoft security patches.
Some organizations, IT administrators, and home users skipped installing the October 2016 servicing stack update, and at first glance, this did not affect the update process in any way, since all subsequent updates installed without errors.
However, the situation has changed with the release of updates for Windows 7 SP1 for August 2018. Security updates were refusing to install on devices that did not have the appropriate servicing stack update installed, and error 0x8000FFFF was shown.
Installing KB3177467 resolved this issue, but most users and administrators were unaware of this method until Microsoft added the information to the list of known issues.
Why didn't Microsoft notice the bug?
Microsoft says it only tests its monthly patches on fully patched systems. The issue was not identified due to the fact that Microsoft only tested the fixes on systems with an updated servicing stack.
What is Microsoft going to do to avoid similar problems in the future?
Microsoft plans to re-release update KB3177467 on Patch Tuesday in October 2018 and classify it as a security update. While not a security update, this classification of the update ensures that it doesn't go unnoticed by customers this time around.
Any servicing stack update in the future will also be classified as a security update.
