Guest AliceZ Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Yesterday when I signed on with my Vista and went to Critical Updates, I saw there was an update: Windows update agent 7.2.6001.788 I clicked OK for the download. When the download finished, I was immediately transferred out of Critical Update page and back to my Google page. I looked in the Update History and saw the the Windows Update Agent was successfully installed. Today when I turned on the Vista, I saw that it was going through steps 1-3 (saying please do not turn off computer). When the steps 1-3 finished, the computer screen came on. I went again to Critical Update, but it would not go through. I kept getting this message: windows could not search for new updates error(s) found code 80244022 Windows update encountered an unknown error What is going on? Quote
Guest Mark H Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 With the error message present, attempt to connect to windows update again. It will probably be successful. Then close the error message. You shouldn't get it again.

Guest AliceZ Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Thank you. Quite confusing to me as I am not too familiar with all this "stuff." Alice Quote
