Automatic Update Error 80070424

- Windows Vista Home Premium SP1

Hello, I recently noticed that my Automatic Updates for Vista has
stopped working. When I go to check for updates through the Windows
Update window I receive:

"Windows could not search for new updates

Error(s) found: Code 80070424 Windows Update encountered an unknown
error."

I receive the same error when checking for definition updates for
Windows Defender (Error Code: 0x80070424.)

I've ran multiple virus scans and everything appears to be clean.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Shane,
I have Vista Business SP1 and got this same problem last night for the first
time and cannot find a fix. Likewise scans etc.,
I don't have automatic on, I let it tell me when there are updates. The
latest one was 274kb (important) and as soon as I pressed install - Bingo -
lost the lottery (as usual) so saw your post

Hope we get an "easy" answer

Regards

Done. It failed.

"The module "wuaueng.dll" was loaded but the call too DllRegisterServer
failed with error code 0x80070005."


Yes, I can't find a solution to this anywhere on the internet, I would
really like to get this worked out!

Thank you for a response,
I tried your suggestion, downloaded/tried a couple of programs, (even to buy
as that appears to be a commercial website - not a direct MS site - to me)
but now get an error message "The specified service does not appear as an
installed service"

Where do I go from here - anyone??
What have I done wrong?

Kind regards

Hi,

Did you try the third step in the tutorial - resetting manually ?

Otherwise, a repair install will replace all the Vista operating system
files, leaving your data and programs intact. You need a proper install
dvd to do this.

Hope it helps
