W7 update error

Bakercake · Oct 17, 2010

Well today I tried to update but I keep getting this error.

I searched on google and possible fixes were setting your clock and calender to it's correct time and date, registry edits, and suspicious download links. I've set my time and date and no luck. I don't feel comfortable messing with my registry unless it's needed. Any idea what might be causing this?

I've had this help before on some systems, it may or may not work for you. Worth a shot, though!

I couldn't do it manually because I couldn't do step 1. I ran the fix it for me program(default & aggressive) no luck. :shrug:

I also defrag and clean my registry hoping it would do something.

Type cmd in the Start Search field | Right click cmd.exe (under Programs), and select Run as administrator | At the prompt type net stop wuauserv, and hit ENTER (keep the command prompt open). Open Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | 'View' tab | Select 'Show hidden files and folders', then delete or rename the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder. Type net start wuauserv at the administrative command prompt, hit ENTER, then try Windows Update again.

Let's try what redduc has and see how that goes. ^^

Good luck! :thup:

What is your date and time set to, specifically? Also, what time zone are you in, and what time zone is your machine set to?

After replying, also try this, please: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/system_maintenance_for_windows

I disabled my AV(kaspersky) and it worked. Now I can't install my gpu driver but I already have it installed so no worries. Thanks for the help Jmtyra and redduc900.
