try this and hopefully it will fix your issue for windows 7 To try to solve this issue, follow these steps: Click Start => All Programs => Accessories. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run As Administrator. At the Command Prompt, type the text below this sentence and press enter afterwards and then try to perform windows update again regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\wuaueng.dll Then press Enter.
i tried the fix you mentioned with no luck, now im getting this error code an error occured while checking for new updates for your computer - WindowsUpdate_80080005
Repair the Windows Update database 1. Click on Start 2. Click on RUN (Guess what yoy have to do if you don't have a RUN option?) 3. Type CMD and hit OK 4. In the MS-Dos screen that appears type the following commands: net stop wuauserv [Enter] This will stop the "Automatic Updates" service that is using the database. 5. Now lets switch to the Windows directory - Type CD \Windows [Enter] (If you get "The system cannot find the path specified" then Windows is installed in another folder. Type SET [Enter] and look at the option "windir") 6. Type: Rename SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution_OLD which will rename the folder containing the database. 7. Type: net start wuauserv [Enter] 8. Now try Windows Update again. This may take a while because the database has to be rebuild.
Check your computer's clock. If is not set correctly some updates can't be installed. thx from Brazil
