Windows 2008 server enterprise version update issue list

Windows 2008 server enterprise version update issue list:KB967723 can not be installed.
I checked server diagnostic log and find this return error code is: 0x80070490

my problem is resolved after manual installation as of 02/23/2019

my windows 2008 server is enterprise, SP2, 32-bit.

  1. Error 80070490 installing KB967723
  2. two posts are good:George Perkins and Cordoor. they both described the same issue with different facts. it seems like Manual installation will resolve the issue. so I try manual installation on my Windows 2008 server enterprise version, SP2, 32-bit.

    I listed the following download link to compare:

  3. Security Update for Windows Server 2008 (KB967723)

Windows 7 can not update automatically on Zenith

google this: windows update cannot currently check for updates

  1. can't change windows update settings even though I am the administrator
  2. Solution to ‘Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer’. Dec 2017
  3. this is a good way to see. some way to check .NET service up. .NET 2.0 (manual + .NET 4.0 automatic start. the following link is critically needed. coped the best welcome note here:

    Its a simple fix,1st make sure .NET is enabled in Win components,double chk by opening run,or cmd,type: services.msc in msc,scroll to Microsoft framework,v2.0 only runs in Man start, v4.0 runs in Auto start,if ok exit msc.
    Also,Win update has a install/fix,its: windowsupdateagent-7.6-x86 Also,thier is: microsoftFixit.wu.MATSKB Also,download & run malicious software removal tool,
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/malicious-software-removal-tool-details.aspx?id=16
    its also known as 890830 After all the above & SP1 is installed,Win update will run.....

  4. Malicious Software Removal Tool
  5. Solved: Windows update cannot currently check for updates in Windows 8, 7 or Vista
  6. I followed this link to resolve my issue. let's see the effect. date on 02/1/2019
    the reason may be the download folder get corrupted. I try this way first.
    look at solution 2. but windows service can not be stopped because this menu item is grayed out. so I searched out the next article. use administrator privilege to run command line mode. then type services.msc to start this console.

    solution 2 does not work. need to try solution 3.

    my Zenith PC is Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and already has SP1. it is Windows 7 and x64-64 bit OS.

    I go to this page to download improved client directly: download improved client

    in essence it is KBUpdate for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3102810)

    solution 3 works well. after I finished this KB3102810 install, I restarted my computer. start windows update check. after long time check, it works. when I clicked start installation, I need to agree to install malicious software removal tool from microsoft. it is similar to the second link from top second link.

  7. Solved: Windows Update problems...
  8. the above link used the same trick but with more specific folder name to delete. copied here to note:

      Run command-prompt as administrator
      In cmd type in: net stop wuauserv
      Press enter
      Once it's stopped, please locate C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
      Once in the menu click the alt-button and t-button, click on folder options, click view tab and check show all hidden folders/file/etc... click okay
      Any files or folders under download delete them all.
      Go back cmd in type: net start wuauserv
      Press enter
      Once its running try updates again.
