PC running slow?
Last week, some readers informed us that they are facing a Windows update that does not work with XP pro sp3.
Windows Update has stopped working in the last 2 weeksand. No “no news updates”. Running i Microsoft Update will open IE 8. When I select Express or Custom, the concept of “checking for the latest updates for your computer” gets stuck for hours. Tried it at different times of the day.
Automatic updates are enabled and the service can run. Background Intelligent Transfer Service is running (bits). I’ve tried setting all products to their defaults as BlackViper says for XP Professional SP3 and they all look fine.
I ran every Microsoft fix I could find, including http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058, and from time to time did all of the manual repair steps on the facts page. Everything worked out, but no changes. Security
Microsoft Essentials will unfortunately be updated correctly earlier. I also got updates for the program via Windows Update. It is checked for spores, Trojans and rootkits, often with the help of many different programs. Nothing detected and I think the system is clean.
I must have Windows XP on this system so I can try yesbetter to fix Windows Update?

7 answers. You can check for updates and then install them automatically using a script. It works on both XP and Windows 7. My script is useless, but can still be useful.

My problem was especially frustrating because there was no error code, so there was nothing to search the net. Errors, information is simply “a problem with your computer.” In addition, checking the update history (click on “Check update history” in the gray bar to the left of the mentorship) showed no errors in anything. I even checked the treeI found the system of events and didn’t find anything.
Windows makes it clear that Update 2.5 contains activity log files.
In addition to each “update history”, there are two simple text message log files in the C: WINDOWS folder. The “half” a is a file called “Windows Update. Which magazine ”seems to be no longer in use. I checked four XP machines and in each case the file was almost empty and hadn’t been updated for a long time.
Update: A reader named Joseph pointed out that this is an older version of Windows Update. (July 27, 2008)
But usually another log file, WindowsUpdate.log, contains up-to-date information about gold mining (this file does not contain spaces in the name). It was eventually included in the debug information sent to Microsoft for help and it turned out that my problem was related to error 0x80004002.

Does Windows Update still work for XP?
The Windows Edition site was closed on August 3, 2020 for XP computers. Most users may not be affected by this change. Starting with Windows 8 Desktop and Windows Server 2012, connections to Windows Update site endpoints use a more modern algorithm (SHA-256).
