Hello,

I got some problems with Microsoft update

First: on my laptop I’m trying to use the Microsoft update, but problem is
that it wants me to install it when I already got it.
when I press "begin" (on the website when I’ve pressed Microsoft update,
from the start menu) and then continue, it just says an error one of the
errors is that it want me go into settings, internet settings, safety and
change so the save user data is activated. But it already is... why does
this happen?

or it can also come another error that want me to go into control panel,
administration settings, and services, and check that automatic updates is
started and put on automatic, then it also want the "BITS" (background
intelligence transfer service) to be started and put on manual, last thing
it want to be started is the even log it also want it to be put on
automatic... When I put automatic updates on automatic it works, but when I
try to start automatic updates from there it gives me and error that says:

"It didn’t work to start the service Automatic Updates on local computer.

Error 0x80004015: The Class is configured to drive as a security-id is
different between the receivers"

Why does this happen?


And on my normal computer it is always taking like 10-30 minutes to check if
there are new updates for my computer, why is it so slow?

Sorry for my bad English but I was in a hurry, so I wrote this pretty fast,
had to translate some stuff from Swedish
