Windows 10: please i can't download an update for my windows software

my windows update is unable to download and install

:)

 

Vista x64 won't download updates?

Download either Malwarebytes or Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to check for viruses. Not saying you have one but the old Conficker can cause what you are experiencing. My only other suggestion is to pop in your vista cd and do a system repair using it.

 

WINDOWS XP??? WAKE UP PEOPLE.

Installing common software on various distros:

Archlinux: sudo pacman -S <name of soiftware>
Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install <name of software>
Suse: sudo zypper install <name of software>

Or use one of the numerous GUIs sitting on top of the underlying package manager (complete with search! Though even the commandline version have search functionality).

Android: go to Google Play Store, Amazon Market or something else, find thing, press button, thing is installed sometime later.
iOS: open iTunes, find thing, press button, thing is installed sometime later.

Menawhile, in Windows:

• Google software
• Find non-malware link
• Find download section
• Find download
• Click correct download button
• Try n times until successful downalod (where n >= 1)
• Install software

Then you have system and software updates:

On Linuxes:

Archlinux: sudo pacman -Syu
Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get distupgarde
Suse: sudo zypper upgrade

Or use one of the numerous GUI tools, again, which will come with a nice little popup when it finds updates too.

Android: click popup in notification center (if not auto-updating), press "Update All" button, some time later everything is up to date. Also applies to firmware/OS updates.
iOS: similar to Android I assume.. I have not personally used an iOS device long enough to know it' s app/OS update UI.

On Windows:

• Run Windows Update once
• Install 20 updates
  
• Run it again, finds more updates
• Install these never seen before updates
  
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 until no more windows updates
• Update software that isn' t in Windows Update
• Repeat step 6 until all software is updated

I' m sorry, how is Windows easy again? Sure, this is a little extreme (the retry DL n times until successful, but it happens regularly enough on slow connections), but both are real, actual experiences I have semi regularly.

 

Windows updates...

Oh. Your "Registry" must have gotten screwed up FLY3R. If for some reason you couldn't download your updates I suppose you could go to the update site, and run throught the steps 'till it fails activation. Then you could go up to "Tools > Manage Add ons > then disable "Windows Genuine Advatage Validation Tool." Of course you should only use this method if you are having problems updating your legitamate copy of Windows XP. Perhaps do to a corrupted piece of software? *Smile
