What to do if you want to perform a Windows update but receive an error message? You can find help here!
Especially under Windows 7 and 8 there can be a certain problem with Windows Update. In this case, all services seem to be working optimally, but an update is still not possible. Often times, restarting your system doesn't help either. But don't worry: we'll show you how to get Windows working again.
Most of the time, Windows Update cannot search for updates if you recently restored a system backup. As a rule, the update service is set to "Activated" and everything else is fine with Windows. Ultimately, the problem lies in the fact that Windows thinks that the update program is still started when it is restored, but it is actually inactive. Therefore restarting your computer does not help. The solution is very simple: you have to start the update program yourself. After that, the message should disappear and updates should be able to be downloaded as usual..
