Центр обновления windows ошибка c80003fa — Ваш верный помощник с OS Windows

Бывает, что обновление Windows завершается неудачей — сообщением с кодом ошибки 0xc80003fa. Наиболее вероятные причины неполадки: неподходящая конфигурация сервиса апдейта или недостающие файлы ОС.

Устранение сбоя стоит проводить следующим образом:

Убедитесь, что системные файлы целостны. Для этого выполните в Командной строке (Администратор) команду sfc /scannow. Если файлы содержат дефекты, то утилита постарается восстановить их исходное состояние. В ином случае — загрузите с сайта Майкрософт образ Виндоус 10 и проведите восстановление с помощью этого источника данных.
Проверьте, что нет помех для подключения к интернету. Для этого отключите все имеющиеся в системе антивирусы и файрволы. Будет неплохо, если пытаться обновиться, подсоединившись к иной сети.
Сбросьте кеш сервиса апдейта. Аналогично первому пункту не обойтись без Командной строки. Запустите в ней такие команды:
- net stop wuauserv
- cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
- ren Download Download.old
- net start wuauserv
После этого нужно перегрузить компьютер для исправления сбоя 0xc80003fa.

[SOLVED] Windows Update Code C80003FA

Hello,

I have Windows 7 x64 Pro SP1. I can’t update windows since a long time ago, it always shows the error C80003FA, and also have SFC corruptions and daily BSOD.
I used to run the windows update troubleshooting but now it just stopped working.
I run the sfc /scannow once a week, and sometimes it doesn’t finish and also run the chkdsk /r once a week and it always shows some fixes.
I suspect that is something wrong with the hard drive because before this windows I had vista and windows 8, but it kept showing the same troubles.

I attached the files from the posting instructions.

English isn’t my first language so let my know if you didn’t understand me.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for answer me.

I had to perform the GSmartControl in Safe Mode because it didn’t start in Normal Mode, it showed «GSmartControl stopped working». The test result was «Completed without error».
There were no red or pink entries in «Attributes» and in the «Failed» column all displayed «never».

Since it was taking a while in someone answering me this thread, I started this other post about my BSOD problem, there I was asked to perform the Memtest86+, which I did three days ago for 14 passes and showed no errors.

Wow, those stop codes are all over the place. I’d recommend completing the troubleshooting in that thread before continuing here.
I assume you aren’t overclocking?

No, i’m not overclocking. I’ll continue the other thread and get back here later. Thanks

It seems that, for the moment, they can´t help me on the other thread. I did another SURT + SFCFix and it changed. Xilolee recommended me that I uploaded to you the results.

I’ll be out of town until Monday, I’ll try to get back to you then.

Well… I ****ed it up badly.

After doing another surt/sfc/sfcfix routine I ran ccleaner and then defraggler. When it was defragging suddenly I got the notification that I had pending updates, so I looked windows updates and had like 100 updates. I didn’t downloaded because the same thing happened two years ago and when I clicked update all, my computer couldn’t start, so this time I searched if there was really important update and found out that «KB3125574 Convenience rollup for W7 SP1» is important. That one wasn’t on the list so I had to search it manually. I installed only that one and then I couldn’t start my computer again, I only get BSODs. I did several CHKDSK / SFC / BOOTREC / Restore system and other repair options but no one could fix it, so I had to reinstall W7.

The first thing I did when I started windows was a SFC, and it had errors. SURT and SFCfix showed 1 error with a .dll but I could fix it by renaming the catroot2 folder. I could install KB3125574 manually but my main problem is still there, I can’t run Windows Update with error C80003FA (I had a BSOD when I tried to update the first time).

Right now SURT and SFCfix shows no errors, but sfc still does. So i’m uploading the zips to see if there is something I can fix.

It looks like one of the mui files (es-ES) was repaired. This should not be causing a BSOD.

This seems like a hardware problem since you have reinstalled Windows already.
I would suspect bad capacitors on the motherboard. Please check very closely if the top of each capacitor on the board is flat (as it should be), or if it is bulging or has vented.

I checked very carefully and all capacitors looked fine, but i’m no expert. I removed one of my memory sticks, they’re the same size but different manufacturers and different frequencies. I run sfc and still shows errors and can’t update, but now it just keeps searching endlessly for updates and shows no errors. I run the FixIt WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.cab tool from windows and there it showed error 0x800700005.

It seems like it was the memory differences. I started to install manually some updates and suddenly windows update began working normally again, and now I have no sfc errors. Everything is working correctly now. I’ll post if something else happens.

Hi Linney,
I have tried all the above suggestion, no luck. still have the same problem. Windows update keep showing the error code.
Thks for your help.

Running some searches for that error code at the MS Knowledge base points to connection problems as being the cause.

Try clearing your DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns) in a command prompt.

Power cycling your router (if you can) and wait around a minute before powering it back up.

Depending on your ISP you could try setting your network connection to use Google’s public DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

Thanks everyone for your help. Any of the Microsoft FIX was able to correct the problem.I’m not able to download the updates manually. I’m able to go on the internet without a problem. My router is not the problem, i have a DELL PC running W7,plugged on the same router and the updates are working fine. Virus ans malwares are not the problems, it’s a fresh/clean installation. There is no antivirus installed and no firewall. It’s seems to be a dead end, could it be related to any hardware problem instead of the software. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Hi BadBigBen

I have tried to install SP1 manually ,and it failed, Here is the error code:
«Catastrophic failure» Error E_UNEXPECTED (0X8000ffff )
What else can i do ??

Tks for the suggestion.

Dan

Hi,
see if this helps:

To Paraphrase:»The Help you get is proportional to the Help you give..»

With mention of the word «Catastrophic» it might pay you to start looking at hardware problems as a cause.

Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right-click your Drive icon/ Properties/ Tools/ Error Checking. Try it first by not checking either box (this will run it in a Read-only mode) to see if it flags any hard drive or file problems. If it does, restart it by ticking both boxes, and rerun it to allow it to attempt to fix any found problems.

HI Linney,

ChkDsk found no errors on the hard drive.
Thanks for your help. I will continue to seach what may cause the problem.

Thank you for your input %-)

Have you tried the suggestions here?
Jim

1. if you have any AV software running, then at this stage disable it…
2. through the search bar type COMMAND, at the top choose the COMMAND applet and right click then «run as Administrator», then enter the following in the CMD window: SFC /SCANNOW
this will check the integrity of the system files, have the install DVD at hand in case it is asked for…
3. run CHKDSK /F thereafter…
4. reboot
5. check that ALL drivers for all devices are up to date, including the chipset drivers and VGA drivers…
6. attempt to run the SP1 installer again, if you have another PC try downloading the SP1 there and then transfer it to your PC/Laptop (e.g. USB thumb drive / USB HDD)…
