Как исправить отсутствие службы обновления Windows

Центр обновления Windows — важная услуга, предоставляемая Microsoft. Кроме того, каждое обновление устраняет проблемы, предоставляет новые проблемы безопасности и обновляет различные функции Windows. Отсутствие службы обновления Windows означает, что служба «wuauserv» или «Центр обновления Windows» отсутствует в списке служб в services.msc. Эта проблема обычно приводит к ошибке. При установке обновлений возникли некоторые проблемы, но мы попробуем позже с кодами ошибок 0x80070006, 0x80080005 или 0x80070424. Более того, нет определенных причин, по которым возникает эта ошибка или почему служба обновлений удаляется. Обычно подозреваются сторонние приложения или повреждение файлов обновлений Windows.

Несмотря на то, что пользователи могут откладывать обновления или предпочитать не обновлять, приложения, связанные с Windows, могут перестать отвечать. Microsoft Store, например, перестает работать, если у вас слишком много версий от текущей. Более того, даже сторонние приложения сталкиваются с проблемами во время работы или могут вообще не запускаться из-за отсутствия важных файлов в Windows.

Перезагрузите ПК

Это решение следует использовать, когда на вашем диске нет важных файлов. Кроме того, этот метод устанавливает чистую установку Windows из приложения настроек Windows. Точно так же есть вероятность, что вам, возможно, придется удалить все ваши файлы, потому что они могли быть повреждены. Однако этот вариант также дает возможность сохранить ваши данные. Но на всякий случай всегда следует создавать резервную копию своих данных. Чтобы перезагрузить компьютер:

Создать запись в реестре

С другой стороны, если вы не разбираетесь в технологиях или не хотите рисковать потерять свои данные, вы можете попробовать это решение. Доказано, что он работает на всех форумах и не имеет никаких рисков. Дело в том, что в большинстве случаев ключ обновления Windows отсутствует в системном реестре Windows. Для сравнения, этот метод так же прост в применении, как и предыдущий, без риска потери данных. Чтобы воссоздать ключ реестра:

Редактор реестра Windows версии 5.00

«Type» = dword: 00000005 «Action» = dword: 00000001 «Guid» = hex: e6, ca, 9f, 65, db, 5b, a9,4d, b1, ff, ca, 2a, 17,8d, 46, e0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServiceswuauservTriggerInfo1]

Исправляем ошибки установки обновлений Windows 7

Windows 7 по-прежнему остается популярной операционной системой в корпоративной среде, несмотря на то, что уже вышли две новые версии клиентских ОС. Расширенная поддержка «семёрки» закончится лишь 14 января 2020 г., а это значит, что ближайшие 4 года для нее будут выходить обновления, исправляющие обнаруженные уязвимости.

Существует правило – если есть обновления, то есть и проблемы с их установкой. Давайте разберем, какие основные проблемы возникают при обновлении Windows 7 через Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) и как их исправить с наименьшими затратами.

Ошибка #1. Failed to find updates with error code 80244010

Эту ошибку вы практически гарантированно будете наблюдать на любой системе, впервые обратившейся к серверу WSUS. В WindowsUpdate.log также встретится предупреждение:
WARNING: Exceeded max server round trips

Причина проблемы в том, что список обновлений стал слишком большим, и клиент не может принять его за один заход. Подробности — blogs.technet.microsoft.com/sus/2008/09/18/wsus-clients-fail-with-warning-syncserverupdatesinternal-failed-0x80244010
Какое решение предлагает Microsoft? Если после ошибки запустить повторный поиск обновлений, то процесс загрузки метаданных продолжится с момента возникновения ошибки. Терпение господа, терпение. Три, пять попыток wuauclt /detectnow – и все образуется. Не забудьте при повторном поиске дождаться окончания предыдущего цикла поиска, иначе магия не сработает!

Ошибка #2. Не устанавливаются обновления Windows с ошибкой 0x80070308

Встречается эпизодически, и в одном случае из 100 у нее есть единственное и очень специфическое решение — удалить ключ
HKLMComponentsPendingRequired=1

Перезагрузиться. Здесь важно не переусердствовать, не следует удалять никакие другие ключи в этом разделе, даже если они вам очень не нравятся, потому что после этого обновления прекратят ставиться навсегда.

Ошибка #3. Все другие ошибки

Summary:
Seconds executed: 1164
Found 16 errors
Fixed 4 errors

Проблема заключается в том, что во время установки обновлений в системе могут появиться битые файлы. Что является причиной — неисправная сеть, диск, оперативная память, сам Windows Update – выяснить не получится, а исправить ошибки для установки последующих обновлений придется.

Как правило, повреждаются *.cat, *.mum, *.manifest файлы. У кого-то повреждаются *.dll, но я на практике не сталкивался. И вроде бы средство SURT должно само исправить ошибки, поскольку внутри него есть огромный каталог эталонных файлов. Только в последний раз SURT обновлялся в октябре 2014 года, а исправлений на операционную систему с тех пор вышло бесчисленное множество, и многих файлов в каталоге не хватает.

Ниже я опишу последовательность действий, необходимых для исправления ошибок установки обновлений на Windows 7 x64 с использованием SURT. Для редакции x86 просто потребуется другой пакет SURT из KB947821.

Последовательность действий будет следующая.

1. Запустить первый проход Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64.msu

Пользователя от работы отвлекать не потребуется, все сделаем удаленно. Создаем следующий командный файл и запускаем его:

где BUHWKS02 – целевая машина.
Когда скрипт отработает и встанет на паузу, проверяем %windir%LogsCBSCheckSUR.log
Если ошибок не найдено – дело не в битых обновлениях.
Если он заканчивается

2. Копируем эталонные файлы на целевую машину

Microsoft предлагает нам длинную, путанную процедуру с извлечением хороших файлов из обновлений и размещением их в определенные каталоги средства SURT. При этом пути в статьях неверные. Где-то и вовсе рекомендуют подкладывать оригинальные msu файлы.

Самый простой и правильный вариант следующий — скопировать эталонные файлы с рабочей системы:

*.mum and *.cat из C:WindowsservicingPackages складываются в %windir%TempCheckSURservicingpackages
*.manifest из C:WindowswinsxsManifests складываются в %windir%TempCheckSURwinsxsmanifests

Проблема в том, что битых файлов обычно десятки, и их очень сложно выбрать и скопировать. Тогда на помощь приходит следующий скрипт PowerShell (эталонной считается машина, с которой вы запускаете скрипт)

Как видите, скрипт прост и может быть легко заточен напильником под вашу инфраструктуру.

Ошибка #4. Если SURT отработал нормально, а обновления все равно не ставятся

Попробуйте прибегнуть к старому приему – сбросить службу Windows Update в исходное состояние. Для этого необходимо удалить каталог %windir%SoftwareDistribution.

Ошибка #5

Клиент исчезает из консоли WSUS. Любопытная ошибка, связанная с неправильным клонированием машин и задвоением (затроением и т.д.) идентификаторов клиентов. Решается так:

Ошибка #6

GetCookie failure, error = 0x8024400D, soap client error = 7, soap error code = 300, HTTP status code = 200
SyncUpdates failure, error = 0x80072EE2, soap client error = 5, soap error code = 0, HTTP status code = 200
Windows Update Client failed to detect with error 0x80072ee2

Ошибка связана с нехваткой ресурсов в AppPool WSUS. Решение — снять лимит на потребляемую память. Как это сделать — статья.
Коротко: Открываем IIS, Application Pools, WsusPool, Advanced Settings.
Параметр Private Memory Limit устанавливаем в 0.

Продолжение темы настройки WSUS — в моей следующей статье: https://habrahabr.ru/post/329440/

PS:
Многие ошибки решены в новом клиенте WSUS:
1. KB3125574 «Windows 7 post SP1 Convenience Rollup Update». Внимательно ознакомьтесь с разделом Known issues!

Предварительно необходимо установить KB3020369 «April 2015 servicing stack update for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2».

The Windows Update Service helps in updating your Windows 11/10 system to the latest version and it is necessary because it pushes updates required by the operating system. The service is managed through the Service Manager. However, some users have reported a case where the Windows Update Service missing in services.msc in Windows 11/10. At times you may see error code 0x80070424.

Windows Update Service is missing (0x80070424)

While the basic cause is a missing file, a user reported that it was apparently removed by malware. Thus, it is advisable to perform a full system anti-virus scan on your system before proceeding with any troubleshooting mentioned below:

1. Run the Windows Updates Troubleshooter
2. Run an SFC scan
3. Use DISM to fix Windows Update files
4. Re-register or reset Windows Updates components
5. Use Registry fix
6. Reset your computer
7. Repair Windows 10 using external media

Try the following solutions sequentially to resolve the issue in discussion.

1] Run the Windows Updates Troubleshooter

The Windows Update Troubleshooter can resolve a lot of problems related to Windows Updates. It can be helpful if you encounter the problem in the discussion. The procedure to run the Windows Updates Troubleshooter is as follows:

Click on the Start button and go to Settings> Updates and Security > Troubleshoot.

Select the Windows Updates Troubleshooter and run it.

2] Run an SFC scan

The System File Checker or sfc.exe is a utility in Microsoft Windows located in C:WindowsSystem32 folder. This utility allows users to scan for and restore corrupt Windows system files. Since the main cause of the issue is missing files, you can consider running an SFC scan on your system

3] Use DISM to fix Windows Update files

If a generic SFC scan doesn’t work on your system, you could try a Windows Updates specific DISM scan.using the following command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

This procedure will check for missing and corrupt files associated with Windows Updates and replace them.

If your Windows Update client is already broken, you will be prompted to use a running Windows installation as the repair source or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share, as the source of the files.

You will then be required to run the following command instead:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:RepairSourceWindows /LimitAccess

Here you have to replace the C:RepairSourceWindows placeholder with the location of your repair source.

Once the process is complete, DISM will create a log file in %windir%/Logs/CBS/CBS.log and capture any issues that the tool finds or fixes.

4] Re-register Windows Updates service/Reset Windows Updates components

If the above-mentioned solutions failed to bring any result, you could consider resetting the Windows Updates components. This is a long a complicated process but works well when done step by step. Usually, this solution should resolve the problem with Windows Updates, no matter what, but if it doesn’t help, you might have to consider resetting your system.

5] Use Registry Fix

Back up your Registry and also create a System Restore Point first and THEN download this file from our servers and extract its contents. It will contain a Fix-WUS.reg file. Double-click on it to add its contents to your Registry.

Check if it has solved the issue. If yes, good; if not, restore your Registry or your Windows using the created backups.

6] Reset your computer

Resetting your Windows system comes with two options: the first is to delete all files and programs on the system start new and the second is to reset the settings to default while keeping your files intact. It is advisable to start with the option to keep the files intact and if that doesn’t work, you can consider wiping data from your system after a proper backup.

7] Repair Windows 11/10 using external media

While resetting Windows 11/10 should clear most of your problems, if that doesn’t work, you could consider a repairing Windows 11/10 using external media. This would require a DVD or USB drive with a Windows ISO. The problem is that unlike previous versions of Windows, the recovery media usually doesn’t come with the package when you buy a computer. You could either order it separately or create it on your own.

We hope this guide helps in resolving your problem.
