Hi guys, I'm running windows 7 proffesional 64 bit and when i try to update it says the updates failed and gives me error code 80070426 and error code 9C47, then when I try to troubleshoot I get
Package ID: Performance Diagnostic
Path:C:\Windows\diagnostics\system\Performance
Error code:0x80070426
Source:Engine
User: Computer Name\Username
Context: Restricted
Does anyone have an idea of how to fix it?
Science,
Welcome to SevenForums.
Use the FixIt given at this link:
How do I reset Windows Update components?
When I run the Fixit i get message that says:
Troubleshooting cannot proceed
The troubleshooter has experienced an unexpected error and cannot continue
Science,
fill out your system specs please.
Use this procedure:
Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)
To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info
In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
Manufacturer and Model and
ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
For example:
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.
Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit
Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc
Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.
You will find that in Speccy, you can select info from the display
using your mouse/touchpad and then paste that info into your specs.
SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
this capability.

Alright I filled out most of my system specs
Science,
1. Go to the Dell site. You need to update your bios and probably at least the chipset driver.
2. update your Win 7. Use this procedure and do not deviate therefrom regardless of whether you find such steps necessary. This is Win 7 and not XP.
UPDATING YOUR WIN 7
1. ASSURE THAT YOU RECEIVE ALL UPDATES
WIN | type WINDOWS UPDATE | ENTER |
Change settings (left-hand column) |
checkmark all four of the boxes | OK button
Approve any dialog boxes presented. Let Windows install any update features.
WIN is the key with the Microsoft flag on top.
2. INSTALL CRITICAL UPDATES
Check for Updates (left-hand column)
Install ALL critical updates.
Restart your computer (even if not prompted)
Repeat this procedure until there are no more critical updates.
DO NOT TRUST the “Windows is up to date” in center of dialog. until you see that TWICE IN A ROW!
3. INSTALL IMPORTANT UPDATES
Use the “critical update” procedure until all important updates are installed.
4. INSTALL OPTIONAL UPDATES
Under Optional updates you will be presented with:
a) Microsoft Bing Desktop which is of questionable value
b) a list of about 34 language updates.
You can hide those updates so that aren't continually notified of those updates.
When you click on 34+ optional updates are available, then you
a) highlight all of the language updates,
b) right-click anywhere in the highlighted list.
c) click on Hide Updates,
d) OK button.
Install ALL other Optional Updates.
Use the “critical update” procedure.
UPDATE GOLDEN RULES
Install ALL, yes, ALL updates.
This is Win 7 and not Vista or XP (eXPired).
UPDATE IS HUNG –TAKING FOREVER
Hung is very doubtful unless you interrupted updates.
CTRL + SHIFT + ESC key combo will pop-up the Task Manager.
Lo and behold, Windows Update is still running!
You hold down the CTRL and SHIFT keys.
While holding them down, tap the ESC key once.
As soon as I check for updates i get :
Install new Windows Update software
To check for updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update. Your automatic updating settings will not change. To install the update, Windows Update will automatically close and re-open.
Then when i click install now i get:
Windows could not search for new updates
An error occurred while checking for new updates for your computer.
Error(s) found:
Code 80070426 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
