  1. Windows Update error when trying to reinstall the current windows version


    Hello!I've been trying to reinstall Windows for few months using the built in feature, but it doesn't seem to work since 24H2. Basically, what happened after installing 24H2 is I did something not very smart, used a software to "forcefully" delete some files althought it might have deleted some Windows and System folders by accident, I realized when all the icons disappeared and explorer kept crashing, I couldn't even use the shutdown or restart button as it threw errors, and the software I used itself also crashed, most likely that's what caused all of this I think the name was IObit Unlocke

  2. 80246002 Error from windows update

    Every time I attempt to check for new windows updates, I get the error "Windows could not search for updates" and the error code 80246002. I've searched online quite a bit and only found a few links to Microsoft FixIts, and some commands you could run in attempt to clear it. I've attempted to simply reinstall windows, but even with a fresh copy I still have this error. Does anyone know anything at all that could help?

    Who has seen this vista update error

    When you go to Windows vista update and it tell you to update a driver that you have already updated. Then it says failed to update and gives you the error code that tell you that you already have a never version than that. WTF? Why in the world would it be trying to updated something with an older driver. Well the only way to get it out of your windows update list is to go uninstall what ever that driver is then run the update and install it. Then run the newer drivers again.

    Well I still can't get the Nivida Network Bridge to disappear out of the list. I uninstall the one in device manager and go to the update and before it's even done with that. Vista is automatically installing a newer version than is in the Vista update list.......
