Solved Clean install doesn't update?

[markg2]

Just received MS cert refurbished Lenovo 530--

First time running Windows update, just sits w/'Checking for updates' and times out after an hour or so with attached error.

Tried renaming \Windows\SoftwareDistribution per Google search--no change.

At this point it's simpler to reinstall from recovery partition than test a lot of possibilities absent a probable solution--unless for some weird reason I'm going to run into the same problem.

That's why I'm here.

You suggest...?

Hello Mark,

You might see if doing OPTION THREE in the tutorial below to completely reset Windows Update may help.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/91738-windows-update-reset.html

If you have a 3rd party firewall program installed, double check to make sure it's not blocking Windows Update.

 

[markg2]

The batch didn't help.

Fixit found an update problem it couldn't fix: windows update error 0x80070003(2016-04-14-T-06_29_04A

No hits from Google?

The machine has a trial of Norton Security. I suspended the firewall--no diff

First off, and what I should have initially said: 'and so we meet again ' Your link had a link for other stuff. I downloaded the System Update Readiness tool: Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64. After ~25 minutes searching for 'non-existent' updates, it decided that I needed a hotfix k whatever. After it completed the hotfix install I rebooted despite not being asked. I ran update and it found 226 updates for which the updater now says it's downloading. Not wishing to jinx the current, tenuous situation, I'll comment on success/failure when I see the updater commence installing and particulary once I see the first round of updates successfully installed.

I'll let you know what happens--

Run through these instructions again see if it gives it a kick in the pants.

1. reboot the system.

2. Make sure you have the latest Net framework 4.6.1 installed - download and install it manually selecting repair if it is already installed.

3. reboot

4. Ensure you have the most recent update client - download and install it manually
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3138612

5. Reboot

6. Ensure the windows update service, Bits service and the Cryptographic service to automatic and started.

7. run windows update.

8. just wait.... some people on here have reported that the process took several hours.

Note the .net and the new windows update client may take a bit of time to install.

Run through these instructions again see if it gives it a kick in the pants.

Please see my previous 'edited' message. I'm currently installing update 194 of 226.

That error is one of the most common ones i deal with,
Your comp is probably licenced but not properly validated, dont be suprised if the updates reverse.

[markg2]

Then how do I go about correcting/confirming the OS validation? I'm thinking the easiest way might be to call MS help.

 

[markg2]

Roy,

2 points:

1. The first round of updates completed and did not reverse. Updater then advised of 20+ more updates which I downloaded and installed and no reverse.

2. Viewing System/Windows activation:
'Windows is activated'
Product ID:...........

So can I presume from the preceding that the OS is validated?

Mark

 

[Brink]

Correct, it's activated then.

Hi mark,
We can check by running the tool from this link

If you see the following

Thanks,

For a change, I'm getting 'another' MS education that I really didn't want!

Included in the box is a flyer from MS 'Microsoft Windows for Refurbished PC'. It says the 'Instructions for activating Windows software for refurbished PC's: software is pre-installed and there's a special license for PC's that have been refurbished. Your PC has 2 labels; either the original COA label the PC manufacturer installed or the genuine ms label AND a COA from the PC refurbisher.'

Although the OS has been activated, the laptop has 0 such labels: neither original COA or refurbishers COA (Key).

Sound like a problem to you?

 

[torchwood]

post the results of that tool i'll have a look.

The results of the scan are below. I found the original maufacturer's sticker inside the battery case.

Your problem is that the machine thinks it is a Vista machine, while the OS is Win7. (it may be a refurb, using anl old motherboard, and htey forgot to reflash the BIOS)
For what version and edition of Windows is it licensed, according to the COA sticker on the case?




Roy

 

[torchwood]

Mark,
Id keep going if your getting your updates, just remember that you do have the Secondary code you found in the battery compartment .(it should be different to the one you can partially see in the report)

DO NOT POST IT

Roy

 

[markg2]

I only have 1 key/label--the one in the battery compartment. It's the original Lenovo tag for Win 7 Pro 64.

I ran a util on the system--the motherboard is Lenovo and the model is my T530. The BIOS is 2/24/16 so I think I'm good on both.

I ran the Lenovo driver etc update tool and it came back with zip...all up to date.
