windows Update says services not running
Windows update will not run, get services not running error
1. System Update Readiness Tool (SURT)
I got Installer encountered an error 0xc8000247
2. SFC Scan
There were corrupt files log is included
Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated
Also, this happened after I replaced the internal HD with another using clone from acronis software.
Interestingly enough. I found the exact same problems that another person had... I also had a windows activation problem that I fixed already.
Here is the link to his issues and how it was fixed
Windows Update Won't work after imaging new C: drive
Just now got a windows stating "genuine and activation problem" again
Also found many others having the same problem after upgrading hd using acronis to clone
just google search 0xc8000247 acronis
found article at:
Windows Update Broken After Cloning Hard drive | GeezBlog

To Paraphrase from the beezmo blog
To cut to the chase, SP1 and the hotfix weren’t correctly updating the storage driver, so it couldn’t report sector
size to Windows. The clue here was that fsutil (see that Microsoft link, above) was reporting “bytes per physical
sector” as “<Not Supported>”.
I have confirmed I have the same issue after reading the article and running fsutil
I will have to open my Laptop up to see what HD I put in can't remember its been awhile ago and I left the problem alone and just did not use this laptop.
Unfortunately, this is my programming / development machine and I have a project that needs tweaking.
By the way... I am a systems programmer/technician/consultant with 40 years of experience. I was an XP expert.. just and old man now. I would rather have someone with more windows 7 trouble shooting experience help me with this problem. So please chime in if you have anything to say!
my current hd is HGST hgst 5k1000 1tb and it is one of the advanced format drives
