Good day Dear readers and blog subscribers and canals, remember not so long ago, I told you how I solved the problem that Windows 7 is looking for updates for a long time, so I caught this and in the eight. As you know, I try to give my assemblies every quarter with Microsoft operating systems, sewing new updates in them to keep the fresh image at any time and not waste time updates. So in the eight before the glitch with an infinite update was not, but apparently and there came the insidious hands Microsoft, and today I will show you how I decided infinite update Windows 8.1I will try to highlight this topic as much as possible for each can be able to establish fresh safety patches.

Why is the endless update of Windows 8.1

And so let's understand why Windows 8.1 update center makes an endless search for updates that does not lead to anything but to spending your time and nerves. There are several reasons that we then consider in detail below:

  • Damaged updates in the C: \\ Windows \\ SoftWaredistRibution folder
  • Microsoft servers are not available
  • Problem with Windows 8.1 Update Center
  • Buggy update
  • Not installed Windows update agent

I will tell my preservation. As I wrote above, I began to collect a fresh build of Windows 8.1. I made a clean installation of Windows 8.1 and naturally the first thing I climbed into the system update center. Up to this point, I have never had problems with their download and installation, but now I have been squeezed familiar to Bole, in the form of an ever running green slider, I even waited for a day for the purity of the experiment, but the picture has not changed.

For the sake of the purity of the experiment, I looked at network activity, it was zero and appeals, and I did not find downloads from Microsoft servers.

Let's now understand what you need to do that your Windows 8.1 update center stops the infinite search for updates.

We clean the SoftWaredistRibution folder

Infinite search for Windows 8.1 updates, may be due to damaged updates that managed to download in the background or could be downloaded before. To get rid of them, I advise you to delete the contents folder C: \\ Windows \\ SoftWaredistration.

Update for Windows 8.1 for X64 processor systems (KB3065988) - https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id\u003d47738

Update for Windows 8.1 for systems based on x64 processors (KB3138615) - https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id\u003d51209

I want to note that installing data offline updates packages, follows only with the Windows Update Service

To do this, press Win + R and enter services.msc. And press ENTER.

As a result, you will open the service tooling, find the Windows Update Center at the bottom, click on it with the right click and select Stop.

And even to avoid glitches with infinite search from the additional updates themselves, put in setting the parameters, item "Do not check the availability of updates"

As soon as the service finishes its work, you can start installing updates that are corrected in the Windows 8.1 update center. Infinite search for updates. First, set KB2999226, then KB317342 and only then KB3172614.

Wizard installation of autonomous updates does not require anything from you.

At the end, you will see that the installation is completed.

Do the same with KB3173424

and with KB3172614, but in contrast to the rest, this is a storage package of corrections for July 2016.

Once the KB3172614 has been established, you will see an offer, a reboot, to apply corrections, do it.

After rebooting, go back to Windows 8.1 update center and try to search for updates, in my case it was a victory, I was able to detect 189 important updates in my case.

If when installing updates, you have a very long hanging window with download and you are worried that nothing happens, then to understand whether Windows 8.1 updates are downloaded or not, you can check the following things.

Open resource monitoring, go to the disk tab and make sure that you appeal to the WINSXS folder, and you can also check whether new files appeared in the C: \\ Windows \\ SoftWaredistribution \\ Downloads folder.

By the way, when searching for updates, you can see the error 80244019, as it decides, I have already told, but before trying the methods described there. Check out that.

Go to settings for parameters.

And make sure you have to install updates automatically (recommended)

If you already have these updates or installs, you did not give results, you will help you install a monthly security system for the security system for Windows 8.1 systems under the KB4048958 code, you can download it by reference http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com /Search.aspx?q\u003dkb4048958 and kb4057401 http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/search.aspx?q\u003dkb4057401

Troubleshooting Windows Update Tools

As we know on the latest Windows 10 Redstone operating system, they are far from ideal. The number of glitches in the system over the past year has grown very much, plus Microsoft has shifted all the forces on the top ten and thereby worsened support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. If the described methods with the installation of KB did not help you and you have in Windows 8.1, the update search is spinning infinitely, then try using the troubleshooting tool.

To do this, go to the control panel\u003e Troubleshooting

In the System and Security, click Troubleshooting using the Windows Update Center.

Your operating system will try to detect problems that you can call an infinite search for updates in Windows 8.1, in parallel can still find something. In general, the remedy is very good, and in some cases can greatly help.

Even to perform a task, the problem of eliminating problems may ask you to run it with administrator rights, do it.

Since when installing for example, the same antivirus solutions or hypervisors may be affected by the TCP / IP stack,

I also advise you to try to disable your antivirus, at the time of trying to set updates, maybe it impedes access to Microsoft servers

I hope the methods described above will be able to help you in eliminate the infinite search for Windows 8.1 updates and you can close all security loopholes in it, in general this is another stone in the Microsoft garden, shame comrades to throw their old products with official support.

The threat of a computer security when working with the Internet, incorrect operation, crashes and software failures are just some possible problems if Windows updates are refused. However, those who consciously go to such a step, as disabling Windows updates, probably know what they do for what. In cases where system updates are not established by virtue of unwanted and uncontrolled the user's reasons, it is certainly necessary to look for ways to troubleshoot.

And, of course, this concerns the cases when updates on Windows 8.1 are not installed. Even finding the right decision, on the way to a successful result, we can accidentally make unwanted changes to the system settings. Therefore, it will not be superfluous before performing troubleshooting operations to worry about the possibility of kickback to Windows. For these purposes, you can create:

Any of the System rollback features listed above, or it will be the creation of a backup not using Aomei Backupper Standard, and through any other third-party backup programs for Windows - it is also prevention of problems with system updates in the future. Such, however, as in general, the instability of Windows will be due to the activities of malicious software. Viruses, network worms and other malware can damage the integrity of system files. Antivirus can not always cope with the recovery of infected files, because the cause of problems with Windows 8.1 updates is the activity of malware, the easiest way to roll back to the state of the recovery point or backup.
