Что вызывает ошибку Центра обновления Windows 0x8007043c?

Мы исследовали эту конкретную проблему, просмотрев различные отчеты пользователей и опробовав различные стратегии восстановления, которые часто рекомендуют другие пользователи, оказавшиеся в аналогичной ситуации. Оказывается, возникновение этой проблемы может быть вызвано несколькими различными ситуациями. Вот краткий список потенциальных виновников, с которыми вы могли бы справиться:

  • Несовместимое обновление Windows — Как оказалось, эта проблема также может возникать из-за обновления Windows, которое ваша ОС пытается установить, даже если оно несовместимо с вашей версией ОС. Если этот сценарий применим, вы сможете решить проблему, запустив средство устранения неполадок Центра обновления Windows.
  • Сторонние AV-помехи — Как сообщали несколько различных затронутых пользователей, эта проблема также может возникать из-за чрезмерно защищающего стороннего антивирусного программного обеспечения, которое блокирует обмен данными между ПК и сервером WU из-за ложного срабатывания. В этом случае вы сможете решить проблему, отключив защиту в реальном времени или удалив сторонний пакет безопасности.
  • Повреждение системного файла — Другой потенциальной причиной появления этого кода ошибки является повреждение системных файлов. В этом случае вы сможете решить проблему с помощью серии утилит (DISM и SFC), способных исправлять и заменять поврежденные экземпляры, которые нарушают работу компонента обновления.
  • Сломанный компонент ОС — В редких случаях вы можете столкнуться с этой проблемой из-за основного экземпляра повреждения, который не может быть решен обычным способом. В этом случае вы можете решить проблему, обновив каждый компонент ОС с помощью такой процедуры, как ремонтная установка или чистая установка.

Если вы столкнулись с той же проблемой и один из описанных выше сценариев кажется подходящим, эта статья предоставит вам несколько шагов по устранению неполадок, которые позволят вам разобраться в сути проблемы. Ниже вы найдете набор потенциальных исправлений, которые другие пользователи в аналогичной ситуации успешно использовали для устранения кода ошибки. 0x8007043c.

Если вы хотите оставаться максимально эффективным, мы советуем вам следовать инструкциям в том же порядке, в котором мы их расположили (эффективность и серьезность). В конце концов, вы должны найти исправление, которое решит проблему независимо от причины, вызвавшей проблему.

Давайте начнем!

Метод 1. Запуск средства устранения неполадок Центра обновления Windows (только для Windows 10)

Согласно нескольким различным отчетам пользователей, эта конкретная проблема вполне может возникнуть из-за плохого обновления Windows, которое ваша ОС может пытаться установить, даже если оно несовместимо с версией вашей операционной системы.

Если этот сценарий применим, вам повезло, поскольку Microsoft уже выпустила исправление для этой проблемы. Чтобы воспользоваться этим, все, что вам нужно сделать, это запустить средство устранения неполадок Центра обновления Windows. Эта автоматизированная утилита автоматически позаботится о несовместимом драйвере, если определит, что сценарий уже охвачен одной из стратегий восстановления.

Нескольким пользователям Windows 10 удалось решить проблему 0x8007043c код ошибки, запустив Средство устранения неполадок Центра обновления Windows и применяя рекомендованную стратегию ремонта. Если вы не знали, Центр обновления Windows содержит набор стратегий восстановления, которые должны применяться автоматически при обнаружении уже устраненной проблемы.

Вот краткое руководство по запуску Средство устранения неполадок Центра обновления Windows:

  1. Нажмите Клавиша Windows + R открыться Запустить чат. Затем введите « ms-settings: устранение неполадок » и нажмите Входить открыть Поиск проблемы вкладка Настройки приложение.

    Image

    Image
  2. Как только вы окажетесь внутри Поиск проблемы вкладку, переместите курсор мыши в правую часть экрана и перейдите к Вставай и работай раздел. Как только вы попадете в это меню, нажмите Центр обновления Windows, затем нажмите Запустите средство устранения неполадок.

    Image

  3. Запустите утилиту и дождитесь завершения первоначального сканирования. Этот начальный процесс чрезвычайно важен, поскольку он определит, применима ли какая-либо из стратегий ремонта, включая утилиты, к проблеме, с которой вы имеете дело.

    Image

    Image
  4. Если подходящая стратегия ремонта определена, вам будет представлено окно, в котором вы можете нажать на Применить это исправление применить подходящую стратегию ремонта.

    Image

    Image

    Примечание: Имейте в виду, что в зависимости от типа исправления вам может потребоваться выполнить некоторые дополнительные действия, чтобы применить стратегии исправления.

  5. После успешного применения исправления перезагрузите компьютер и посмотрите, будет ли проблема решена при следующем запуске компьютера.

Если вы все еще сталкиваетесь с 0x8007043c ошибка при попытке установить обновление Windows, перейдите к следующему способу ниже.

Метод 2: Устранение стороннего вмешательства (если применимо)

Другая вероятная причина, которая может вызвать 0x8007043c error — это чрезмерно защищающее антивирусное программное обеспечение стороннего производителя, которое в конечном итоге блокирует внешнюю связь между вашим компьютером и серверами Windows Update. Обычно это происходит из-за ложного срабатывания — ваш AV-пакет считает, что интернет-сеть была взломана.

AVAST, McAfee, Comodo и Sophos являются наиболее вероятными сторонними виновниками, которые могут вызвать проблемы (но могут быть и другие, которых мы не смогли идентифицировать).

Если вы используете сторонний пакет AV и подозреваете, что эта проблема может быть применима, вы сможете решить ее, отключив защиту в реальном времени или полностью удалив пакет и вернувшись к программе безопасности по умолчанию (Windows Защитник).

Конечно, процедура отключения защиты в реальном времени будет различаться в зависимости от того, какой AV-пакет вы активно используете, но в большинстве случаев вы сможете сделать это прямо из меню панели задач.

Отключение постоянной защиты в Avast Antivirus

Отключение постоянной защиты в Avast Antivirus

После отключения защиты в реальном времени попробуйте установить Центр обновления Windows, который ранее не работал, и посмотрите, решена ли проблема. Если та же проблема все еще возникает, это не означает автоматически, что проблема не в вашем антивирусном ПО.

Имейте в виду, что некоторые сторонние антивирусные пакеты включают компонент межсетевого экрана, даже если это не очевидно для конечного пользователя. В большинстве случаев этот механизм безопасности останется в силе, даже если вы отключите защиту в реальном времени. Из-за этого вы можете убедиться, что ваш сторонний пакет не вызывает проблемы, только полностью удалив его и убедившись, что вы не оставляете какие-либо оставшиеся файлы, которые все еще могут вызывать 0x8007043c ошибка.

Если вы решили пойти по этому пути, следуйте инструкциям в этой статье (здесь), чтобы полностью удалить AV-пакет и убедиться, что никакие остаточные файлы не вызывают проблемы.

Если вы уже сделали это без каких-либо улучшений или этот метод неприменим к вашему сценарию, перейдите к следующему методу ниже.

Метод 3: запуск сканирования DISM и SFC

Если описанные выше методы не позволили решить проблему или были неприменимы, давайте выясним, не вызвана ли проблема каким-либо типом повреждения системных файлов. Как сообщили несколько разных пользователей Windows, эта проблема может быть вызвана повреждением некоторых системных файлов, влияющих на важные файлы операционной системы.

Если этот сценарий применим, вы сможете решить проблему, запустив две встроенные утилиты, способные работать с экземплярами коррупции: DISM (обслуживание образов развертывания и управление ими) а также SFC (проверка системных файлов)

SFC лучше исправляет логические ошибки, в то время как DISM гораздо больше ориентирован на восстановление системных зависимостей, которые, скорее всего, сломаются. Из-за этого мы настоятельно рекомендуем вам запустить обе утилиты, чтобы максимизировать ваши шансы исправить поврежденные экземпляры, которые могут вызывать 0x8007043c ошибка.

Вот краткое руководство по запуску сканирований SFC и DISM из командной строки с повышенными привилегиями:

  1. Откройте диалоговое окно запуска, нажав Клавиша Windows + R. Затем введите ‘Cmd’ внутри текстового поля и нажмите Ctrl + Shift + Enter открыть возвышенный CMD Подсказка. Если вы видите UAC (запрос учетной записи пользователя) нажмите Да, чтобы предоставить доступ администратора к окну CMD.

    Image

    Image
  2. Когда вам удастся попасть в командную строку CMD с повышенными привилегиями, введите следующую команду и нажмите Enter, чтобы начать сканирование SFC:

    sfc / scannow

    Примечание: SFC использует локально кэшированную копию для замены поврежденных файлов работоспособными копиями. Чтобы не допустить, чтобы ваша система подвергалась другим логическим ошибкам, не прерывайте работу утилит до завершения операции.

  3. После завершения процедуры перезагрузите компьютер и дождитесь завершения следующей последовательности запуска. В этом случае выполните шаг 1 еще раз, чтобы открыть другую командную строку с повышенными привилегиями.
  4. После того, как вам удастся вернуться в окно CMD с повышенными правами, введите следующую команду и нажмите Входить для запуска сканирования DISM:

    DISM / Онлайн / Очистка-Образ / RestoreHealth

    Примечание: DISM будет активно использовать компонент Центра обновления Windows для загрузки исправных копий для замены поврежденных экземпляров. Из-за этого вам необходимо убедиться, что ваше интернет-соединение стабильно.

  5. После выполнения инструкции перезагрузите компьютер и посмотрите, будет ли проблема решена при следующей загрузке.

Если вы следовали этому методу и все еще сталкиваетесь с тем же 0x8007043c ошибка, перейдите к следующему способу ниже.

Метод 4: Обновление каждого компонента ОС

Если вы выполнили все возможные исправления, указанные выше, и вам по-прежнему не удается установить обновление Windows, вы, вероятно, боретесь с каким-либо типом повреждения, которое не может быть устранено обычным способом. Один из способов решения этой проблемы — сбросить все компоненты Windows, которые могут быть ответственны за проблему (включая процессы, связанные с загрузкой).

Это можно сделать двумя способами: чистая установка или же ремонт установить.

чистая установка — это самое быстрое и удобное решение без каких-либо предварительных условий, но его серьезным недостатком является значительная потеря данных, если вы не сделаете резервную копию своих достижений. Все ваши файлы (изображения, музыка, видео), приложения, игры и пользовательские настройки будут потеряны, если вы сначала не воспользуетесь утилитой резервного копирования.

ремонт установить (ремонт на месте) — более утомительное решение, требующее наличия установочного носителя. Но главное преимущество в том, что будут сброшены только компоненты Windows. Это означает, что вам будет разрешено сохранить свои данные, приложения, игры и даже некоторые пользовательские настройки.

Так что, если вы ищете что-то быстрое, что решит проблему, и у вас нет важных данных, которые вы могли бы потерять, выберите чистую установку. С другой стороны, если вы хотите сохранить все свои данные и хотите, чтобы что-то было сосредоточено исключительно на компонентах Windows, перейдите на ремонтную установку.

BigTech justiceBigTech platforms Google and Facebook were hit with a series of antitrust lawsuits by the US federal government and states on charges they are operating monopolies and abusing their power.

Below is the status of the cases, as well as government probes of Apple and Amazon in their current states

Two lawsuits against Facebook

In a defeat, Judge James Boasberg said the Federal Trade Commission, which had sued Facebook in December asking that Facebook be forced to sell WhatsApp and Instagram, failed to show that Facebook had monopoly power in the social-networking market, among other problems. However, the FTC could file a new complaint by July 29.

He threw out a related state lawsuit entirely, saying that the attorney’s general had waited too long. They are looking at their options.

Four lawsuits against Google

The US Justice Department sued Google in October, accusing the $1 trillion company of illegally using its market muscle to hobble rivals. A trial date was set for September 12, 2023.

A lawsuit by 38 US states and territories accuses Google of abusing its market power to try to make its search engine as dominant inside cars, TVs, and speakers as it is in phones. This was consolidated with the federal lawsuit for purposes of discovery.

Texas, backed by other states, filed a separate lawsuit against Google, accusing it of breaking antitrust law in how it runs its online advertising business.

Dozens of state attorneys general sued Google on July 7, alleging that it bought off competitors and used restrictive contracts to unlawfully maintain a monopoly for its app store on Android phones.

Justice Department investigates Apple

This probe, revealed in June 2019, appears to focus on Apple’s app store. Some app developers have accused Apple of introducing new products very similar to existing apps created by other developers and sold in the Apple Store, and then trying to banish the older apps from the store because they compete with Apple’s new product. Apple says it seeks to have only the highest-quality apps in the app store.

Justice Department probing Facebook and Amazon

In July 2019, the Justice Department said it was expanding its Big Tech probes to include «search, social media, and some retail services online», an apparent reference to Facebook and Amazon.

Federal Trade Commission on Amazon

In its investigation of Amazon, the FTC is likely looking at the inherent conflict of interest of Amazon competing with small sellers on its marketplace platform, including allegations that it used information from sellers on its platform to decide what products it would introduce.

This kind of error pops up since the Application Information Service does not respond to the requests to raise applications to Administrator in Windows 10 like the Task Manager, Service updates, and so on. Thus, you won’t be able to run or open apps and will only get stuck with this error.

The “Error 1061 The service cannot accept control messages at this time” message is a type of network error that typically occurs when there is a temporary mismatch between the requested control and the state of the service to be controlled. It’s most likely that the service is in a state of start-pending, stop-pending, stopped or it may already be used by another user which explains why this error message suddenly appears.

You can encounter this error message on any Windows operation. Here are some of the most common occurrences:

  • Debugging a Windows service
  • Starting Task Manager
  • Starting Registry Editor
  • Starting Firewall
  • Starting services.msc
  • Starting dsm.exe
  • Updating services
  • Asking for file permissions, etc.

According to Microsoft MSDN, the error occurs because:

“There is a temporary mismatch between the requested control and the state of the service to be controlled. The service may be in a state of start-pending, stop-pending, or stopped. Wait a few minutes, then retry your operation.”

If after a few minutes, the error still appears, then you may have to follow the options prepared below.

Option 1 – Try to restart the Credential Manager Service

  • Go to the Start menu.
  • Then type in “services” in the search box.
  • From the search results, right-click on “Services” and select the “Run as Administrator” option.
  • Next, look for the Credential Manager Service in the Services window.
  • Once you found it, double-click on it to open its Properties. From there, you need to click on the Stop button.
  • After that, set the Credential Manager Service to “Automatic” and click on the Start button to restart it.

Option 2 – Try to start the Application Information Service

You can also try starting the Application Information Service to fix the “Error 1061 The service cannot accept control messages at this time”. Just open the Windows Services Manager and make sure that Application Information Service is Started. And if you find that it’s already started, you need to restart it.

Option 3 – Try killing the IIS Worker Process via Task Manager

  • Tap the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys and select the Task Manager.
  • Next, click on More details to expand the Task Manager and then look for the IIS Worker Process entry which should be displayed in the list under the Processes tab. From there, you can see it in the Background processes. Once you find it, kill its process.
  • You can also try to look for the “w3wp.exe” entries and end its process. if you find many entries, right-click on some of them and select the End task option from the context menu.
  • Now restart your PC. That should fix the problem.

If you are a kid or in your teenage years you maybe will be not familiar with Commodore 64 but we are welcoming you anyway to go with us on this journey through time and find out about one of the most influential and beloved home computer of all time.

commodore 64History of Commodore

Firstly shown to the world in January of 1982, at the Consumer Electronics Show, C64 caught attention right away with its low price of only $595. Although it had some issues like limited functionality in some fields and a non-wide range of use by 1984 its price dropped below $200 and it cemented itself as an affordable home computer for the middle class.

In as same year Apple has released their Apple II computer with far superior capabilities, commodore 64 remains a middle-class favorite due to its price.

Also, the company has decided to distribute its homemade computer via some other means including not only just electronics stores specialized in that kind of equipment but in general shops and big department stores, through toy stores and book shops as well as through specialized dealers. This has given C64 a more competitive edge and mixed with the affordable price it soon became a staple of home computing.

c64 storeWith sales booming and the early reliability issues with the hardware addressed, software for the C64 began to grow in size and ambition during 1984. This growth shifted to the primary focus of most US game developers. The two holdouts were Sierra, who largely skipped over the C64 in favor of Apple and PC compatible machines, and Broderbund, who was heavily invested in educational software and developed primarily around the Apple II. In the North American market, the disk format had become nearly universal while cassette and cartridge-based software all but disappeared. So most US-developed games by this point grew large enough to require multi-loading.

At a mid-1984 conference of game developers and experts at Origins Game Fair, Dan Bunten, Sid Meier, and a representative of Avalon Hill said that they were developing games for the C64 first as the most promising market. By 1985, games were an estimated 60 to 70% of Commodore 64 software. Over 35% of SSI’s 1986 sales were for the C64, ten points higher than for the Apple II.

Everything was great for Commodore but the industry was moving forward and by the year 1988, PC compatible computers were stated to be the largest and fastest-growing home entertainment systems pushing C64 on to second place. Also, Nintendo’s gaming system has started to take hold in the world with amazing 7 million systems sold in 1988 only.

By the year 1991, many developers exited the gaming market for Commodore 64 home computer system and its popularity started to fall due to lack of software and not so many hardware changes.

commodore salesCommodore announced that the C64 would be finally discontinued in 1995.

However, only one month later in April 1994, the company filed for bankruptcy. When Commodore went bankrupt, all production on their inventory, including the C64, was discontinued, thus ending the C64’s 11 and a half year production.

Legendary titles

The history of Commodore 64 is interesting ones and I believe that it has done much for computers in general, yes it ran 11 years and that seems like a small-time, but remember that it was 11 years of C64 alone, there were other computers released by the company but none except arguably AMIGA 500 has not reached that much popularity as Commodore 64.

That being said the system has left some of the great titles in its catalog that are great to be played even today and have been classic games on other platforms, even on PC itself. That being said I am giving you the top 100 games for Commodore 64:

NoteHomepage (by MyWay) is a browser extension that may be bundled with other free software that you download off of the Internet, or delivered via other advertising means. When installed NoteHomepage will set the homepage and search engine for your web browser to http://search.myway.com.
While installing this extension will gather information from your browsing sessions, including website visits, clicked links, and sometimes even private information, that it later sends back to display unwanted ads into your browser.
Several anti-virus scanners have marked this extension as a Browser Hijacker and are therefore not recommended to keep on your computer. It is considered potentially unwanted, and many users wish to remove it, so it is flagged for optional deletion.

About Browser Hijackers

Browser hijacking is a form of unwanted software program, usually a web browser add-on or extension, which then causes modifications in the web browser’s settings. Browser hijacker malware is developed for many different reasons. Generally, browser hijacking is utilized for earning advertising revenue from forced advert mouse clicks and site visits. Even though it might seem harmless, these tools are designed by malicious individuals who always look to take full advantage of you, so that they can earn money from your naivety and distraction. Some browser hijackers are programmed to make certain modifications beyond the browsers, like altering entries on the system registry and letting other malware further damage your machine.

Find out how to identify a browser hijack

Below are some signs and symptoms that suggest your browser has been hijacked: the home page of your browser is changed unexpectedly; your browser is constantly being redirected to adult websites; the default search engine is changed; you are getting browser toolbars you have never noticed before; never-ending pop-up advertisements show up and/or your web browser popup blocker is disabled; your web browser gets sluggish, buggy, crashes regularly; Inability to navigate to certain websites, particularly anti-malware and also other security software websites.

So how exactly does a browser hijacker infect a computer?

Browser hijackers might use drive-by downloads or file-sharing networks or an e-mail attachment in order to reach a targeted PC. They could also come from add-on programs, also called browser helper objects (BHO), web browser plug-ins, or toolbars. Browser hijackers sneak into your computer in addition to free software application downloads also that you unknowingly install alongside the original. A good example of some infamous browser hijackers includes Babylon, Anyprotect, Conduit, SweetPage, DefaultTab, Delta Search, and RocketTab, however, the names are regularly changing.

Browser hijackers will affect the user’s web surfing experience severely, track the websites frequented by users and steal personal information, cause difficulty in connecting to the web, and eventually create stability problems, causing software programs and systems to crash.

Learn how to remove browser hijackers

Some hijackers can be removed by just uninstalling the corresponding freeware or add-ons through the Add or Remove Programs in the Windows control panel. But, many browser hijackers are difficult to get rid of manually. No matter how much you try to get rid of it, it might keep returning again and again. Additionally, manual removals demand in-depth system knowledge and thus can be a very difficult job for novices.

Industry experts always suggest users remove any malicious software including browser hijacker with an automatic malware removal tool, which is easier, safer, and quicker than the manual removal method. Employ a PC optimizer along with your anti-malware software to solve various registry issues, remove computer vulnerabilities, and boost your computer performance.

Download the software in Safe Mode with Networking

If the malware is set to run immediately when Windows starts, stepping into safe mode may block the attempt. Just minimal required applications and services are loaded whenever you start your laptop or computer in Safe Mode. To launch your Windows XP, Vista, or 7 PCs in Safe Mode with Networking, follow the instructions below.

1) At power on, hit the F8 key before the Windows splash screen begins to load. This would invoke the “Advanced Boot Options” menu.
2) Select Safe Mode with Networking with arrow keys and press ENTER.
3) As soon as this mode loads, you should have an internet connection. Now, get the malware removal software you want by utilizing the web browser. To install the program, follow the directions in the installation wizard.
4) Immediately after installation, run a full scan and let the software remove the threats it discovers.

Switch over to an alternate browser

Some viruses may target vulnerabilities of a particular web browser that obstruct the downloading process. If you’re not able to download the anti-virus software program using Internet Explorer, this means malware is targeting IE’s vulnerabilities. Here, you need to switch to a different internet browser such as Firefox or Chrome to download the antivirus program.

Run anti-virus from a pen drive

To successfully get rid of the malware, you have to approach the problem of installing anti-malware software on the affected computer system from a different perspective. Adopt these measures to run the anti-virus on the affected computer system.
1) Download the anti-malware software on a virus-free computer.
2) Plug the USB drive into the clean computer.
3) Double click on the downloaded file to open the installation wizard.
4) Select flash drive as the location when the wizard asks you exactly where you wish to install the application. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the installation process.
5) Remove the flash drive. Now you can utilize this portable anti-malware on the affected computer.
6) Double-click the anti-malware software EXE file on the USB drive.
7) Press the “Scan” button to run a full computer scan and remove viruses automatically.

Technical Details and Manual Removal (Advanced Users)

To eliminate NoteHomepage manually, navigate to the Add or Remove programs list in the Windows Control Panel and select the program you want to get rid of. For web browser plug-ins, go to your web browser’s Addon/Extension manager and choose the add-on you want to disable or remove. You might also want to reset your home page and search providers, as well as clear your web browser cache and cookies.

Finally, check your hard disk for all of the following and clean your Windows registry manually to remove leftover application entries after uninstalls. Please be aware that this is for professional users only and could be challenging, with incorrect file removal resulting in additional PC errors. In addition to that, certain malware is capable of replicating or preventing deletion. You’re advised to do this procedure in Windows Safe Mode.

If you encounter Windows Update error 0x80092004 while trying to update your Windows 10 computer, then this post is for you. This kind of Windows Update error could be due to many reasons but none of them includes your hardware or installed driver software. Microsoft releases updates that are either not supposed to go out, or you install them when you click on the Check for Update button which can install updates that have not finished testing yet. As a result, you may encounter the Windows Update error 0x80092004

To resolve the Windows Update error 0x80092004, here are some fixes you can try.

Option 1 – Try removing recent updates and packages

When a Windows Update fails, it mostly rolls back and cleans up all its residues. However, there are times when it doesn’t and you can clean that package manually. To remove recent updates and packages, you can go to the Update History and find out what KB updates were installed and once you’ve figured it out, you can execute the DISM tool to remove it manually.

  • Tap the Win + X keys and click on the “Command Prompt (Admin)” option.
  • After that, execute the “Dism /online /Get-Packages”. This will give you a list of packages that were recently installed.
  • Now run the Remove Package program to remove the concerned update and package.

dism.exe /online /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_RollupFix_Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.248.1.17 /packagename:Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.125.1.6 /packagename:Package_for_RollupFix_Wrapper~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.192.1.9 /packagename:Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~16299.192.1.9 /norestart

  • Now restart your computer and log back in.
  • After that, run the following command:

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

  • Then scan for updates.

Note: Keep in mind that the remove package command is made for AMD 64-bit machines specifically.

Option 2 – Try deleting the files from the SoftwareDistribution folder and resetting the Catroot2 folder

The downloaded Windows Updates are placed in a folder called “SoftwareDistribution”. The files downloaded in this folder are automatically deleted once the installation is completed. However, if the files are not clean up or if the installation is still pending, you can delete all the files in this folder after you pause the Windows Update service. For complete instructions, refer to the steps below.

  • Open the WinX Menu.
  • From there, open Command Prompt as admin.
  • Then type in the following command – don’t forget to hit Enter right after typing each one of them.

net stop wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

  • After entering these commands, it will stop the Windows Update Service, Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), Cryptographic, and the MSI Installer
  • Next, go to the C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder and get rid of all the folders and files thereby tapping the Ctrl + A keys to select them all and then click on Delete. Note that if the files are in use, you won’t be able to delete them.

After resetting the SoftwareDistribution folder, you need to reset the Catroot2 folder to restart the services you just stopped. To do that, follow these steps:

  • Type each one of the following commands.

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

  • After that, exit Command Prompt and restart your computer.

Option 3 – Try to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter

Running the built-in Windows Update troubleshooter could also help you resolve the “We couldn’t install some updates because the PC was turned off” error. To run it, go to Settings and then select Troubleshoot from the options. From there, click on Windows Update and then click the “Run the troubleshooter” button. After that, follow the next on-screen instructions and you should be good to go.

Option 4 – Try to manually install the Windows Updates

Windows Update Error 0x80092004 might be due to a Windows Update that has failed. So if it is not a feature update and only a cumulative update, you can download the Windows Update and install it manually. But first, you need to find out which update has failed, and to do so, refer to the following steps:

  • Go to Settings and from there go to Update and Security > View Update History.
  • Next, check which particular update has failed. Note that Updates that have failed to install will be displayed under the Status column which has a label of “Failed”.
  • After that, go to the Microsoft Download Center and look for that update using its KB number and once you find it, download and then install it manually.

Note: You can also use the Microsoft Update Catalog, a service from Microsoft that provides a list of software updates that can be distributed over a corporate network. With the help of this service, it can be easier for you to find Microsoft software updates, drivers as well as fixes.

As you know, the Office Language Packs need to be installed right after installing Office. It also has to be on the correct version of Office so if any of these conditions are not met, you will most likely get error codes 30053-4 or 30053-39 when you install a language pack in Microsoft Office. If you are currently facing this error, read on as this post will help you fix the problem. Here’s the full context of the error message:

“Something went wrong, Sorry, installation cannot continue because no compatible office products are detected.”

When you have to work on two different languages, that’s where the language packs come in handy. You might have to work on one language but when it comes to proofreading or help, you need another language. Note that some language accessory packs offer partial localization which is why some parts of the Office might show the default language.

If you are using Office 365 or Office 2019, 2016, 2013, or 2010, you need to go to the language accessory pack page from office.com and select your language. Once you see the download link, click on it to start downloading the pack. It includes the display in the chosen language, proofing tools for the selected language, as well as the Help in the selected language. Once the installation is complete, follow each one of the given options below to configure the language accessory pack properly.

Option 1 – Select Editing and Proofing language

  • You need to open any Office program and navigate to File > Options > Language.
  • From there, you need to make sure that the language you want to use is in the list under the Choose Editing Languages section.
  • After that, you can add or remove the language that Office uses for editing and proofing tools.

Option 2 – Configure the Display and Help languages

In this option, you can change the default display and help languages for all the Office applications so whatever you choose will be used for all the buttons, menus, and support of all the programs. After you select the language, restart all the Office applications to apply the changes made successfully.

On the other hand, if you are using Office volume license versions, note that only an administrator account can install this if you are using the Volume License version of Microsoft Office 2016. You have to download the ISO image of the language packs, language interface packs, and the proofing tools from the VLSC or Volume Licensing Service Center. This process can be quite complicated so you might have to go to the docs.microsoft.com page to be guided accordingly. After you installed everything correctly, the error code 30053-4 or 30053-39 should now be fixed.

If the display of your Windows 10 computer turns on all of a sudden no matter how put it to sleep over and over again, it always wakes up, read on as this post will guide you in resolving this peculiar issue.

In case you don’t know, the Windows 10 computer Sleep state is made in such a way that if it’s really important, it wakes up. You may have configured this kind of behavior or there could be some hardware component that’s interrupting its Sleep state. Thus, this post will give you some troubleshooting tips to fix the Sleep state issue caused by the Legacy Kernel Caller. The Legacy Kernel Caller points to the external hardware that’s causing your Windows 10 to wake up even when it’s in a Sleep state.

Step 1: Find out what’s keeping your computer from going to sleep.

To figure out what really is keeping your computer from going to sleep, you can execute the “powercfg –requests” command instead of checking the power configuration of your computer. This command will look for requests from applications and drivers that prevent the computer from turning off the display or from going to sleep.

To execute the command, simply open Command Prompt and type “powercfg –requests” and hit Enter. After that, you will see part of the result that looks like this:

“SYSTEM

[DRIVER] USB AUDIO DEVICE

An audio stream is currently in use

[DRIVER] Legacy Kernel Caller.”

Step 2: The next thing you have to do is remove all the external hardware connected to your computer.

In this step, you have to disconnect external hardware from your computer. Based on reports from users who experienced the same issue, the “TV card” is the culprit so make sure you remove that one. Once you’ve removed it, open Command Prompt and run the “powercfg –requests” command again and you’ll see that the “Legacy Kernel Caller” will no longer be on the list. In addition, your computer will get into its regular sleep mode once the hardware is removed. Once you do that, the driver gets hung and won’t release the power request despite being used.

Step 3: Try using the request override option

The powercfg command also offers a request override option which allows users to disable the requests from applications and services to wake the computer from sleep mode. To run this command, simply open Command Prompt with admin privileges. After you open Command Prompt, type the following command and hit Enter to disable requests from applications and services that causes the computer to wake from sleep state.

Powercfg -requestsoverride Driver «Legacy Kernel Caller» System

Step 4: Check the streaming and media applications

You also have to check if your computer is running an audio or video service in the background. In such cases, your computer won’t be able to go to sleep mode if these services are running in the background. You might have noticed that when you play a video or audio, your computer never goes to sleep. And if you have put it to sleep in between watching the video, then it’s probably why your computer is waking up. Thus, you have to stop these services.

Step 5: Check the devices that can wake your computer

If you didn’t see the Legacy Kernel Caller in the result after you execute the ”powercfg –requests” command, then you can try to execute the following command instead.

powercfg –devicequery wake_armed

After you enter this command, it will give you a list of all the devices that can wake your computer. So if there is anything other than the mouse, keyboard, touchpad, you have to check the power configuration of that device. To do that, go to the Device Manager and disable the device’s “Allow this device to wake the computer” option in its Properties

Step 6: Check the Sleep Advanced Settings

  • Click on the Windows key and type “control panel” in the field and select the related search result.
  • Next, select the Security and Maintenance option and click on the Power Options.
  • After that, you have to select the Change Plan Settings but keep in mind that this option is barely readable so you need to read each option carefully.
  • Now click on the Change advanced power settings button and a new window will appear.
  • Then look for the “Sleep” option and expand it. Make sure that the “Allow hybrid sleep” option is on.
  • Reboot your computer and check if your computer now functions properly. If it still didn’t work, you may have to reverse the changes you’ve made.

On the other hand, you could also run the Power Troubleshooter to resolve the Sleep state issue. This built-in troubleshooter will automatically fix any power-related issues in your computer.
