Windows Update fails on multiple items with Code 800719E4
Re: Windows Update fails on multiple items with Code 800719E4
Hmmm ... there's no antivirus software installed ? That's very risky
considering the state of the net nowadays.
Let's try this:
A) Run chkdsk to see if there is an issue with the HD
if not
B)
1. Open an Administrator command prompt by right clicking on Start ->
All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt
2. In the command prompt, type the command below
fsutil resource setautoreset C:
(This assumes that C: is the drive in which Vista is installed. If it is
installed on another drive like D:, please change the drive letter
appropriately)
3. Reboot the machine
Try to install the updates once more.

It required true or false, so I did:
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:
Is that correct?
Anyway, I did that, rebooted, ran WU again, and there is no change.
The updates still fail with the same error code.
Re: Windows Update fails on multiple items with Code 800719E4
Yup, true was needed. Did you run chkdsk prior to using the command ?
And, I repeat, there is NO antivirus installed ?
Perhaps the system has 'unwanted visitors' if there's no AV installed.
And, those 'unwanted visitors' would like nothing better than to deny
updates to the OS.

Yes. No problems.

I installed AVG, ran a full system scan, and enabled the resident
scanner. There are is no virus, spyware, or other malware on the
machine. Still no change in WU -- the updates are still failing with
the same error code.

RE: Windows Update fails on multiple items with Code 800719E4
I tried everything I saw here and nothing work for me either, but one of the
posts mentioned a loss of connectivity. I had been trying to apply the
updates while connected via WI-FI. When I switched to a wired ethernet
connected and re-installed the updates they completed successfully!
Might work for you too.
Good luck!

RE: Windows Update fails on multiple items with Code 800719E4
Hi Todd,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm actually on ethernet all the time plus the
updates are already on my hard drive. So it's not your case. But it's very
interesting, you are the first person reporting a successful installation of
the update. You are talking about Windows Vista, right?
Yours,
SLS

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I am on wired LAN, and get the
error even when I manually download the update files first.
