Windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer
Hello all, I just got a band new HP dv7-4065ei. I installed the HP pre install Win7 64bit, but when I tried to do an update I got the error Windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer. So I started a clean install, off the network with no internet access. I installed BitDefender via USB drive, before I put the put the note book on the network, and then when I wanted to update I go the same error. I have done several AV scans with nothing being found. Please help.

Hello Arthur, the laptop is out of the office until Monday, once it returns I will try that, definatley. But, I have Windows 7 and Bitdefender and I have no problem with updates, is it possibel that I could not be blocked by BD and the other laptop is?

Good frak! IT looks like there is a problem on the WInodws 7 shipped with the HP Laptop. I refreshed the dam thing 3 times with the preinstallation, and I ended up with the same error each time, I eventualy grabbed a Windows 7 DVD and reinstalled fro that, guess what no issues.

I ran into the same problem after installed NVIDIA chipset drivers for Windows 7 32bit on HP mini 311. I downloaded the drivers from HP site specific to the computer. The NVIDIA chipset drivers consist of SMU driver, Ethernet driver and Storage driver. I found that the Storage driver cause the problem of Windows Update. In the past, I had some bad experiences using downloaded HP drivers for HP Pavilion dv6700t, too. It is crazy that we can't trust drivers from the manufacturer.

I have a similar issue it occured after I upgraded the drive in my laptop. I made a system image, replaced the drive, restored the image. I had BitLocker enabled on the old drive. When I restored the image, it told me the content would no longer be protected. Fair enough. Once restored, I encyrpted the drive with afresh. Can someone help? I also don't have any locations listed in Indexing Options, and it reports Indexing is not running. For both problems, all relevant services are running so far as I can see in Services. Any help much appreciated. Thanks Martin

I've removed BitLocker from the equation (unencrypted old drive, re-backed up and restored) Made no difference - new drive still doesn't update! Pretty crap Martin

Thanks, I had this problem on my ASUS G51Jx laptop and downloading the latest "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" driver from the Intel web site. If you own an ASUS G51Jx laptop then I suggest that you obtain your driver from Intel directly. I obtained my copy of the driver from the ASUS web site, I checked the "license.txt" file and it seems that ASUS are supplying a pre-release version of the driver.

I just upgraded my Gateway P-7805U to Windows 7 this week. Windows d/l 2 updates and then quit. Microsoft Security Essentials would could not update the virus definitions either.Windows update error message indicated a service wasn't started. Background Intelligent Transfer Service was set to Manual and was stopped. Setting it to Automatic, Delayed, manually starting it, rebooting all had no effect. After finding this thread via Google and reading all of the above, I looked at the update log and realized from the time stamps that the failures began shortly after d/l and installing the recommended Intel AHCI driver from Gateway's website (AHCI_Intel_8.9.0.123_W7x64_A.zip). I was getting the same error code as in the log posted above (FATAL: Failed to initialize datastore, error = 0xC8000247", etc). I uninstalled it, rebooted and both Windows update and MSE could again update. I d/l an updated driver from the Intel site (iata_enu_10.8.0.1003.exe). I selected that particular one from the many on the basis of description. It installed fine, everything can still update, but I haven't tried setting up an array yet -- I think I'll wait a bit to see if any other problems show up! My thanks to Martin00 for posting the solution.

Shane - Words cannot even BEGIN TO EXPRESS my gratitude towards you for finally resolving this. After a tedious troubleshooting period with Microsoft that resulted in them deciding to send me install disks to restore my machine for this very issue (which they then never sent, of course) I had all but given up hope on being able to update my PC ever again. This, however, completely fixed my issue. Thank you so much!!
