Solved Windows Update not running. Error Code 0xc8000247 when running SURT

MikW7 · Jun 16, 2013

Please help me out - I replaced my defective HDD with a new Samsung Spinpoint HDD, re-installed my Windows 7 image using the recovery DVDs, and can't update windows at all after that. I tried following the steps from Windows Update Posting Instructions - System Update Readiness Tool (SURT) and could not install that update either - got the attached message.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

This may simply be caused by a bad set of Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers -

Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers
try downloading and installing them from here - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=22194

(you want the iata_enu.exe download)

Once complete, please reboot twice, then post another MGADiag report.

MikW7 · Jun 17, 2013

Thanks - I installed the driver and rebooted twice. What is the MGADiag report and how do I run it?

NoelDP · Jun 17, 2013

Ah - sorry....

Please follow this tutorial and post an MGADiag report - then we can see what the problem is.

Ignore errors produced when clicking on the Copy button - they simply mean that the tool could not create the backup files for some reason. The data is still copied to the clipboard for pasting to your response.

(it's useful to confirm that the problem is now fixed)

That report looks fine - how is Windows Update behaving now?

If it's still giving the same error message, please install KB971033 from
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033
Reboot

run another MGADiag report, and post it.

MikW7 · Jun 17, 2013

Windows update has same error (snapshot 02).
I tried KB971033 and it did not run (snapshot 03).
Thanks!

MikW7 · Jun 18, 2013

Is there anything else I can try?

NoelDP · Jun 19, 2013

Please download the Farbar Service Scanner from

Right-click on the saved file and select 'Run as Administrator', and tick all the options, then click on the Scan button - copy and paste the report to your response.

Nothing amiss there. What Anti-Virus are you using? what other AV's have EVER been installed?

MikW7 · Jun 21, 2013

Using Avast free. The Restore disk installed Norton but I uninstalled it before installing avast.

NoelDP · Jun 22, 2013

You need to run the Norton Removal tool, regardless...

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.

MikW7 · Jun 22, 2013

OK, it's done. I tried out of curiosity to start windows update but I got the same error message "service not started". Here is the report:

OK - let's try a few things that have worked for other people....

Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands....

NET STOP WUAUSERV
REN C:\Windows\catroot2\edb.log edblog.old
NET START WUAUSERV

Wait 10 minutes - then reboot and wait another 10 minutes
Attempt to install the WAT Update again

If you still get the same error message,

Please run the following commands in an Elevated Command Prompt

NET STOP CRYPTSVC
REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CATROOT2 CATROOT2OLD
NET START CRYPTSVC

once complete, leave the system alone for at least an hour to rebuild the database, then reboot, install again.

that this may delete your Update History - but all updates will remain installed, and can be viewed in the Installed Updates listing.

If that fails,

Open an Elevated Command Prompt
Run the following commands

NET STOP WUAUSERV
REN C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution SDOLD
NET START WUAUSERV

wait 15 minutes, and reboot
then wait 10 minutes, and open Windows Updates, and run a Check for Updates.

Attempt to install only the KB971033 WAT Update

what happens?

MikW7 · Jun 22, 2013

THANKS! Steps #1 and #2 did not do anything, but Step #3 made it work:

Code:

NET STOP WUAUSERV
 REN C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution SDOLD
 NET START WUAUSERV

Win update started by itself after reboot! Downloading 130 updates...

Thanks again!!!
