How To Fix Windows Update Problems

One of the best ways to keep your computer working perfect is by keeping it updated. By default, the Windows Update runs automatically, downloads the latest patches, and installs them to your computer. When the Windows Update stops updating automatically, important updates and patches will not get installed in your computer. This can cause your computer to run slow and may result in crashes and freezes. 

Another problem is that your computer will be very much susceptible to security breaches. Many Microsoft problems can lead to these issues. Some of the ways to get rid of these Microsoft problems and to fix the Windows Update issues are discussed below.

Instructions to Fix Windows Update Issues

  • Turn off the Automatic Updates feature and update Windows manually. Navigate to the Windows Update site and scan your PC for the updates. If you are successful in installing the updates manually, the automatic updates issue will also be resolved. You may turn on the Automatic Update feature now.
  • If this step does not work and the update issue is not fixed, try re registering the Windows Installer program. To do this, click on Start, go to Run, type in msiexec /unreg in the Run windows and hit Enter. After that, go to Start again, select Run and type msiexec /regserver, and press the Enter key.
  • The Windows installer of your PC will now be re-registered. This will fix the Windows Installer and associated updates.
  • If the issue is still there, try downloading software designed to fix Windows Update issues like Fix WU Utility v1.0, which is a free software. Run the program and follow the on screen instructions to fix the issues with Windows Update.
  • If the issue is still not fixed, you can visit the Microsoft Updates Solution Center and search for the particular problem that you are facing.
