Windows Update Troubleshooter

Windows Update Troubleshooter can come in handy in situations when your computer triggers errors during the Windows update process. Designed by Microsoft itself, this small utility can identify problems based on the displayed error codes and make the necessary changes to the system so as to solve all the issues.

As its name clearly suggests, the purpose of the application is to find out what exactly prevents your computer from successfully downloading and installing the latest Windows updates.

It is capable of identifying and repairing Windows update database errors and checks whether the required DLL files are valid and properly registered.

It can verify if the BITS DLL files are corrupted or not, repair data store detection errors, resolve problems that prevent the normal functioning of Windows Installer and correct other issues that might prevent Windows from getting the most recent updates.

Windows Update Troubleshooter does not require installation and opens by default using the Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool, integrated in your operating system. Practically, it acts as any other troubleshooting wizard, aiming to find and efficiently repair problems related to Windows update.

It only takes a few clicks to have the troubleshooter identify issues that block the system updating process. By default, the fixes are automatically applied, but advanced users can change this setting. Once the operation is complete, the application displays a list of the found problems and their status.

With the help of the Windows Update Troubleshooter you can make sure that your computer benefits from the latest security and feature updates issued by Microsoft. It is a small, yet useful and efficient tool for all computer users, allowing them to successfully fix issues that keep Windows from updating. However, note that running the troubleshooter might result in the removal of the update history.
