Windows 8.1 Updates problem solved
There are several post on this forum about my trials and tribulations in
attempting to use Windows 10, and the problems I had in returning to Windows 8.1. For the last two weeks I could not get Windows 8.1 to update, nor could I install anything from the Windows Store There were several other errors all involving the BITS function, like file not found. "BITS Not Running (Windows 8.1) Error code: 2147024894 " "The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service terminated with the following service-specific error: 1 The system cannot find the file specified." "The BITS service failed to start. Error 0x80070002." I finally found the solution on the Microsoft Community at the following URL. (While I copied the section that corrected the problem, since it deals with the registry, I recommend using the original document not my copy in this post.) http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/w...ror-code-21470... ------------------------ My particular issue was under this, and it worked perfectly and solved the BITS issue: If you receive this error message, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 2. Locate the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup 3. If the registry subkey exists, go to step 4. If the registry subkey does not exist, create the registry subkey. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Right-click Backup Restore, point to New, and then click Key. 2. Type FilesNotToBackup, and then press ENTER. 4. Quit Registry Editor. 5. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK. 6. Double-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service. 7. In the General tab, click Start. ------------------------ In my case the above did not completely fix the problem, but when I ran the following program from Microsoft, every thing worked WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab There is joy in my household to night as my wife is going to get me to do the household task. |
