Solved Windows 7 cannot check for updates & error 0x80070002

panchan83 · Oct 20, 2012

I am getting the dreaded error: Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running
I have prowled the boards trying all kinds of fixes but have not been able to get Updates working. Here is what I have tried thus far:

---

I did a complete re-install of Windows but still have the issue. That may be because the reinstall was with my laptop created recovery disk.

Did not install new anti-virus after re-install and anti-virus can interfere with Updates.

---

I have tried stopping the service, deleting the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and restarting the service. When that didn't work I tried deleting the contents in Safe Mode as well. Still no good.

---

I ran FixIt. It claims to fix two errors with Windows Update but I still get the same error.

---

I ran Malware Bytes but it found no issues.

---

I tried stopping and restarting "Windows Update Service", "Cryptographic Service" and "Background Intelligent Transfer Service", both through services and through cmd

---

I downloaded and ran the .bat Reset_Reregister_Windows_Update_Components

---

I downloaded the Windows Update .reg file and ran Merge.

---

I ran sfc /scannow. Result was that Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. I ran it again three times (as recommended by some online guides). I created sfcdetails.txt but it did not indicate where corrupt files were.

---

I tried to reregister Windows dlls following the steps here:How do I reset Windows Update components? and got the following results:

I stopped the BITS service and the Windows Update service sucessfully.

This command didn't give any result message:
C:\Windows\system32>Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Do
wnloader\qmgr*.dat"

Got the following errors when renaming the folders.
C:\Windows\system32>Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore *.bak
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
C:\Windows\system32>Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\Download *.bak
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
C:\Windows\system32>Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 *.bak
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I reset the BITS service and the Windows Update service sucessfully.

I reregistered the files. Most were successful but got the following errors:
the module "mshtml.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found
the module "shdocvw.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found
the module "browseui.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found
the module "qmgr.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found
the module "msxml.dll" failed to load
the module "gpkcsp.dll" failed to load
the module "sccbase.dll" failed to load
the module "slbcsp.dll" failed to load
the module "initpki.dll" failed to load
the module "wuaueng1.dll" failed to load
the module "wucltui.dll" failed to load
the module "wuweb.dll" failed to load
the module "muweb.dll" failed to load

Tried to reset winsock and got an error:
C:\Windows\system32>netsh reset winsock
The following command was not found: reset winsock.

Restarted BITS and Update services sucessfully.

---

I tried to run the Update Readiness Tool and got error: 0x8000222

---

The only progress I seemed to make was when I changed Update settings to Never Update, then switched back to automatic update. This gets rid of the error message but instead clicking Check for Updates does nothing. The Updates screen flashes for a second, but nothing else happens. After a while I start getting the error again.

It may be relevant that Windows Defender will not start. I am able to start it in Services but when I go to Windows Defender it says a problem caused this program's services to stop. When I click start now I get the loading circle and after a while the error This operation returned because the timeout period expired. (Error Code: 0x800705b4)

I am running Window 7 64 bit, installed with recovery CD from Asus U50F.

YOu appear to have some major problems - from your MGADiag report, there appear to be problems with at least on critical part of the system

You also appear to have got one of your commands abive wrong - the proper command is

NETSH WINSOCK RESET
(rather than 'netsh reset winsock')

From memory, the BITS dlls you attempted to register are teh ones for Windows XP, not Win7

Please try registering the wintrust.dll file - it may clear the MGADiag errors.

REGSVR32 WINTRUST.DLL

Please also copy your C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log file to your desktop, then zip the copy, and attach it to your reply.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. Registering the wintrust.dll file did clear some of the Diag errors (see below).

I had a feeling some of those BITS dlls didn't apply to my system, but that guide was what the Microsoft support forums kept pointing Windows 7 users to.

I have attached my CBS log.

OK - now we can see the wood for the trees as far as the MGADiag report is concerned

Please download and install teh WAT Update KB971033 from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033

reboot twice, and then run another MGADiag report - post the new one,

panchan83 · Oct 20, 2012

Ok, I downloaded it but I'm unable to install it. The following error box pops up immediately:

Installer encountered an error: 0xc800222

NoelDP · Oct 20, 2012

That error code is one digit short??
I can't find any references that make sense with 0x80000222, either, so please check the exact message

Ignore that - found it!

NoelDP · Oct 20, 2012

This seems often to be caused by problems with Anti-Virus programs - what AV is currently installed, and what AV's have ever been installed on this machine in teh past - even if only a trial version never activated??

Please run the CheckSUR tool from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
(you'll need to look in the details for Method 2)

Then zip the CheckSUR.log and attah it to your reply so I can take a look.

The tool can take anywhere from 5 mins to a couple of hours to run (or 'Install') depending on how much it has to do, and may exit silently - it may appear to freeze for most of that time, but be patient.

panchan83 · Oct 20, 2012

I tried to run SUR but got the same error 0xc800222

AVG had been installed previously but I did a complete re-install of Windows and did not reinstall it after.

The Windows recovery did include a trial of an anti-virus program. I think it was McAfee but I deleted it without activating it so I'm not certain.

NoelDP · Oct 20, 2012

Probably either McAfee, or Norton - probably a good idea to run both removal tools if you're not sure.....

Download the McAfee removal tool from:

http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

Click Save, and save the file to a folder on your computer.
Navigate to the folder where you saved the file.
right-click on MCPR.exe and select 'Run as Administrator' to run the removal tool.

when complete, reboot.

Download the Norton Removal Tool from here https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home

Close all other programs, then run the tool. When it's complete, reboot the machine whether it asks for it or not.

After the reboot, open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command

NETSH WINSOCK RESET

You'll be advised to reboot - do so.
then post another MGADiag report.

OK.
Please try installing the WAT update again. If you get the same error, please open an Eleveated Command Prompt, and run the following commands

DIR C:\Windows\Servicing\*.* /AR /S
ICACLS C:\Windows\Servicing\Packages

Post the results.

Here are some instructions to make life easier

1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the CP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.
3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.

I noticed after one fo the restarts that my date jumped ahead 2 days to 10/22. I restarted and adjusted the date in the BIOS but I'm wondering if an issue with the date/time could be causing problems.

NoelDP · Oct 20, 2012

OK - having made a fool of myself....

There's nothing wrong in that output.
The date change is a little odd - a word of advice, though - use Windows, rather than the BIOS to change teh system date, this ensures that settigns are properly adjusted,
I'm not sure where to go next - but I'm a little confused about some of the indication in the CBS log, it appears that tehre may be a problem with the .NET install.

first, try this

1a. Open Internet Explorer (only!) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910336 [ignore the title & Symptoms].

1b. Dismiss/close the "automated troubleshooter" pop-up! - then...

1c. Ignoring any "Not recommended" or similar warnings, run Fix It 50202 in DEFAULT and then AGGRESSIVE modes. [1]

2. Logoff & Reboot & then run a manual check for updates at Windows Update, etc., etc...
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

the try installing the WAT update and running the CheckSUR too again.

panchan83 · Oct 20, 2012

OMG I llove you I love you I love you. Windows is currently downloading and installing updates. Once done I'll install the WAT update and Check SUR as well if that's still necessary. Once I'm sure everything work I will check this off as solved and be forever in your debt.

NoelDP · Oct 20, 2012

A little way around the houses, but we got there in the end!

panchan83 · Oct 20, 2012

WAT update and everything ran fine. Thank you again for your help!

NoelDP · Oct 21, 2012

Great! - good luck!

SamuelParent · May 4, 2015

Message for NoelDP if you're still around this forum
I have just replaced an aging HDD and reset my system to factory build (Dell System Restore) on a new HDD.
- I've done this a few times and never had any issues.
This time, I got exactly the same problem as Panchan83 - I followed different fixes and instructions until I found this thread, but then I went step by step and got stuck at message #14 from October 2012.
- every time he said something didn't work, I got the exact same error messages (every time)
--- the address Windows Update error "0x80070002" or "0x80070003" is not accessible to me through Internet Explorer (not a connection issue, I can access plenty of other pages)
--- I can see that page from Chrome and ran the "MrFixIt" (I already had) and it didn't change anything

What do you need to see from me to help?

SamuelParent · May 4, 2015

Not wanting to wait, I kept looking and found this article which has fixed the issue, for me
