Microsoft Fix it: a utility for fixing Windows errors. Troubleshoot getting or installing Windows updates.

Windows update center   downloads all necessary files for optimization to the user's computer system code, accelerate the work of standard applications, as well as to ensure the security and compatibility of software.

There are three ways to start the service in question:

  1. “Start” → “Control Panel” → “ Windows update center».
  2. The same thing, but instead of the Control Panel - “All Programs”.
  3. Start → search bar → enter “wuapp.exe”.

Way

The user is offered a choice of four possible options   finding and downloading updates:

  • Updates are saved automatically.

An option when additions to the system and its applications are accepted automatically as soon as it becomes possible to download them. By default, updates are mandatory for the security center to ensure constant monitoring of possible hacker attacks and virus threats. In order of priority, other updates may be downloaded, but not installed on the computer or not downloaded at all.

The standard time for updating windows is daily at 3:00. To change this parameter, it is necessary to select “Parameter settings” in the left menu of the update center, in the window that appears, find the items with “daily” and “at 3:00” and change to the required frequency.

  • The decision about whether to install updates or not is made personally by the user.

This mode allows you to choose which of the received updates to download to your computer. At the bottom right of the screen (where the icons are), notifications about the start of downloading (when the device is connected to the Internet) will periodically appear. After completion, left-click on the message that appears or the corresponding icon on the taskbar, then click "Details" and select what to install and what not.

  • The OS searches for updates and issues a list of them, and the user selects the necessary ones.

Almost the same as the previous method, only this time an icon will appear on the taskbar indicating the availability of updates available for download. Further it will be possible to mark the necessary ones and load them. However this mode   more suitable for experienced users who independently track the emergence of new updates and determine their importance.

  • The presence of updates is not checked, the owner of the PC finds them independently.

It is clear that this mode is undesirable to choose, as you can skip important add-ons for security services or new features.

What to do, if search for updates for windows takes a long time?

To fix this problem, go to Windows update center   through the Control Panel or click on the desired icon at the bottom of the screen. On the left will be the already familiar to us item "Settings". On the drop-down link, mark " Do not check for updates».

If the described option does not work (after restarting, error messages are constantly displayed and the search for windows updates still takes a long time), try another method:

  1. In the Control Panel, find the item "System and Security".
  2. Click on the "Administration" hyperlink.


  1. Next, you need to click on “Services”, this will launch the corresponding utility, where you will need to find the “Update Center” and double-click on it.
  2. On the General tab, mark Startup Type as Disabled and click the Stop button.

This algorithm also disables the automatic detection of updates and additions. To undo all the actions performed, return the configuration to its original state.

Install windows updates manually

If you are sure that the danger of hacking operating system   You are not threatened, you can turn off automatic settings and install windows updates manually.

To do this, cancel the default update download for Windows (the procedure is described above). Without closing the last window, in the same place, find the items marked on the image, and check the boxes in front of them.



A notification will appear immediately on how many updates are available for download and their priority (important or optional). Information will be periodically checked and supplemented by the system with Internet access. Important updates will be ready for download by default, however, you can select a specific section and determine for yourself whether to download all updates from the list.

After confirming your choice Windows update center   displays information about the size and number of available updates. Click on “Install Updates” and wait until they are all downloaded. After the procedure is completed, a notification message will be displayed on the screen confirming the download. The operating system will ask for permission to overload, after which the new functions will begin to work.

Error 80244019 when updating windows

One of the most common mistakes caused most often by viruses. In order to to resolve error 80244019 when updating windowsrun the following algorithm:

  1. Reboot the operating system to safe mode. To do this, during a normal reboot, press the F 8 key several times. The screen will prompt you to select the boot mode, check “Safe Mode”.
  2. Using a pre-installed antivirus program or a curing utility, scan the device for viruses. Most likely, the antivirus will notify you that there is a malicious file on the computer that needs to be eliminated.
  3. Restart the PC in standard mode and open the Control Panel. In the left window, click on "Network and Sharing Center", select the hyperlink with the inscription "Change adapter settings". Define your connection and display its parameters (item "Properties").
  4. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 and Properties.

  1. Open the General tab and make sure that both points of automatic data retrieval are checked.

  1. Hold the Win and R buttons on the keyboard simultaneously and type “services.msc”. A list of all device services opens. Verify that the Windows Update service starts automatically.

Fix Windows Update Center Errors

Most of the problems that are detected when updating the OS, regardless of the version, can be fixed using one simple script. It will solve problems with downloading and installing updates directly.

How does the script work? It completely resets the settings that could be changed by the user in the process. In addition, if you previously received a notification that Windows update center   does not start, the script will restart the corresponding service. At the end of the folder with earlier installed files   updates are renamed and saved again, so that later you can use them as backups. They will come in handy if the problem is not resolved using a script.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open standard program   Notepad Windows and transfer the commands there exactly as in the picture below.



  1. Change the extension of the newly created .txt file to .bat. So it is converted from text file   into the execution script.
  2. Save the file, and then, right-clicking on it, run it as administrator.
  3. When finished, close the command prompt window.
  4. Restart the OS.

If you acted strictly according to the proposed algorithm, the problems should disappear.
