General Computer Support / Re: Need help repairing BITS in Windows 7 SP1

« on: September 13, 2015, 05:23:36 am »

Thank you Shane for moving this question, and for your response.
On my W7 SP1 system I run Malware Bytes Pro and BitDefender.
I have run ADWCleaner from time to time.
All 3 come up clean when I run scans.

The 1st few times I ran your tool I did run all the steps, and always in Safe Mode with Networking.

What I noticed was that I would run your tool, do a Windows Update on one sub-set of updates, and have the updates run successfully.

Then, the symptom I described (svc.exe running at 99% of my cpu) would start again.

So, I did the following: run your tool (steps 1,2, and 17); apply a subset of WU patches; run your tool (same 3 steps); and repeat these steps until all WU patches had been applied.

It was a "brute force" method; but my system runs fine now.

So, from that point of view, I think you can call this problem "fixed."

Thank you,
Dick

You can close this.  I used a brute-force method to load my updates in 3 separate chunks, running steps 1,2,17 of AIO in between.
Thanks for trying to help me.

Julian:
Here's what I did:
I have updates to put on in 3 categories: Net, Windows, Office.  I do these 'chunk' separately so that if there's a problem after applying one of the categories I know which group is problematical.
So, following your suggestions about Powershell, I applied all the Office updates.
Then I did the 1st of your Powershell instructions.  That went ok.
When I tried the 2nd one it came back with the verbiage: "not recognized as the name of a cmdlet . . . "

Then I tried the 2nd one again after adding in the word "module" as was used in the 1st command.
That still came back with the same error message.
So I exited out of Powershell

The system wanted to be restarted after applying that 1st grouping of updates.

So, I did that; and here I am.

Thanks for the reply.  It does take awhile; but then what happens is what I described.
The 1st update I try (I only tried one to see if WU was now working) works. Then if I try another one we go back to what I (as a layperson) am describing as an infinite loop etc.

General Computer Support / Solved - Need help repairing BITS in W7 SP1

« on: September 07, 2015, 02:23:10 pm »

Can someone please tell me how to repair BITS on my W7 SP1 system?
 My symptom for needing to do so:
 When trying to run Windows update, assume I have 21 to install.
 I run WU on 1 selected update, and it runs successfully.
 If I go back to try 1 more, the update gets in what seems to be an infinite loop.
 One of the svchost.exe's (the host process for windows services) uses up to 99% of my cpu.
 With taskmgr, if I kill that process I get an 800706BE error.

 I have run the M'soft fixit to fix WU and Bits. No joy.
 I have run the tweaking.com tool to fix windows, including the step to fix wu.

 When I reboot, I can do 1 install, and then the same thing happens as described above when I try to do another update.

 Any help would be much appreciated.
