Windows Defender Update error 0x80040111

[Guest]

Hi All,
When I attempt to get Windows Defender to update I get and error:
0x80040111 and the balloon in the right lower corner said that the program
can't check for updates, although with my Laptop I cam and they both run
through the same hub (Except that the Laptop is Wireless)

Thanks for your time.

Un-install Defender and then go to Microsoft's web site to re-download
it. This should fix the modules of the Defender.

Hi smlunatick.
This didn't help even when I:
- Did an uninstall then install
- Did an uninstall, rebooted then installed
- Did an uninstall, ran regclean, rebooted then installed.

Hi William,

How to troubleshoot definition update issues for Windows Defender
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918355

This didn't help me... BUT I did go to the http://www.windowsupdate.com
page as recommended in this article and realised that there were a number of
updates (Including Windows Defender) that failed to update, but there was no
explanation as to why...

After doing this I now get error 0x80072ee2 when trying to update...

This didn't help me..

While the trouble shooting pages didn't directly help me, I get have a
problem installing the Miscrosoft .NET framework 2.0 where the GA Notifier
wasn't installed. After I installed it and went back to
http://www.windowsupdate.com I now have these updates to download: Download
size (total): 94.8 MB
Estimated time at your connection speed: 1 hour 32 minutes

I'll let you know how I go after I install the updates...

I just tried to install the updates and they ALL failed... So I dug further
and found that my BITS are broken and going by the description, this may be
part of the problem..

I got Error code 0x80246008, so I went to the page
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/showarticle.aspx?articleid=9&ln=en&IsMu=True
and followed the instructions to turn on the "Background Intelligent Transfer
Service". When I set this to "Automatic" the status was still "Stopped" so I
manually tried to start it. I then got the error:

:Could not start the BITS on local computer

Error 1083: The executeable program that this service is configured to run
in does not implement the service.

I have recently had to do a reinstall repair due to a motherboard change.

I tried this and got the same error when I tried to manually start the
BITS.

I tried both procedures and I even did it in safe mode. The only
difference was the error message
In safe mode 0x8007043c which I found out is because I was running it
in Safe mode and would have received this message even if everything was
working properly..
and 0x80070020 by other peoples problems is a Spybot Tea Timer problem,
so I disabled both resident parts of SpyBot and I still get the same error..

Hi Raymond,

You may want to contact Microsoft for support. I believe there is a
no-charge support for Windows Update issues.

Or you may want to try another Repair install then try the following
article after the repair install.

Hi Raymond,

Hi William,

I hope your issue will be resolved and any feedback would be greatly
appreciated.

It all appears to be working now. Here is what I did.

Used the Tools > Windows Update in ie.

Update failed, so I clicked on the (X) next to the failed component
which brought up an error message.

Went to the page explaining about the error message (I don't remember
the number. I hit the "Restart Now" before I wrote the number down, sorry,
and I've been trying to find it again to no avail)

It recommended that I disable my firewall, so I did (I don't have a
software firewall, but I have enabled the firewall in my modem).

As soon as the updates were being downloaded, I re-enabled the firewall
and everything has been running good since...

Thanks again..

Regards,
Raymond
