Сообщение об ошибке с кодом 0x8007000d может появляться в различных ситуациях: обновление или установка Windows, активация системы, использование отдельных системных инструментов.
В этой инструкции о том, как исправить ошибку 0x8007000d при обновлении Windows 11 или Windows 10, в том числе и при ручной установке обновлений, во время установки системы или её активации, а также о возможных причинах ошибки.
Ошибка 0x8007000d при обновлении Windows
Самый распространенный случай ошибки 0x8007000d — соответствующая ошибка обновления в Центре обновлений или при использовании автономного установщика обновлений. Причиной обычно является поврежденные файлы скачанных обновлений. Для быстрого решения можно использовать следующие шаги:
- Запустите командную строку от имени администратора (для этого можно начать набирать «Командная строка» в поиске на панели задач, затем нажать правой кнопкой мыши по результату и выбрать нужный пункт меню).
- По порядку введите следующие команды, нажимая Enter после каждой:
net stop bits net stop wuauserv net stop appidsvc net stop cryptsvc ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.bak ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak del C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr* net start bits net start wuauserv net start appidsvc net start cryptsvc
- Перезагрузите компьютер и выполните скачивание обновлений в Центре обновлений повторно, затем попробуйте выполнить их установку.
Если предыдущий вариант не помог, причиной могут оказаться поврежденные системные файлы, чтобы устранить ошибку:
- Запустите командную строку от имени администратора.
- По порядку выполните следующие две команды (процесс их выполнения может занять продолжительное время, и они могут «зависать», наберитесь терпения):
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth sfc /scannow
- Перезагрузите компьютер, затем проверьте, была ли решена проблема.
Если обновление выполняется через Центр обновлений и вы получаете сообщение об ошибке с указанным кодом, либо файл обновления скачан со стороннего сайта, используйте официальный каталог обновлений Майкрософт для загрузки файла обновления и его ручной установки: в поле поиска введите KB-номер обновления, скачайте нужную версию файла и запустите его.
Обычно один из предложенных способов решает проблему. Однако, если это не сработало, попробуйте дополнительные варианты из инструкции Способы исправить ошибки Центра обновления Windows.
При установке
Следующий распространенный вариант — ошибка 0x8007000d при установке Windows с флешки, а иногда при запуске установки из уже запущенной системы. Для первого случая наиболее частая причина — повреждение файлов на накопителе или невозможность их чтения по какой-либо причине.
Основные способы исправить ошибку при чистой установке ОС с флешки:
- Попробуйте использовать другой USB-накопитель для создания загрузочной флешки.
- Загрузите ISO-образ системы из другого источника, лучше всего — с официального сайта Майкрософт.
- Попробуйте использовать другие разъемы USB, например 2-й версии вместо 3-й или наоборот. В случае ПК используйте разъемы на задней панели системного блока.
Если эта же ошибка появляется при установке Windows 11/10 «внутри» уже запущенной системы, оптимальным вариантом будет запуск чистой установки путем загрузки с USB-накопителя. Если этот вариант не подходит, попробуйте:
- Выполнить проверку целостности и восстановление системных файлов с помощью команд
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth sfc /scannow
- Если установка выполняется с использованием образа ISO со сторонних сайтов, использовать оригинальный образ системы.
- При наличии сторонних антивирусов на компьютере — временно отключить их.
При активации
Ошибка 0x8007000d при активации Windows 11/10 может быть вызвана различными причинами, но чаще всего в наших реалиях возникает при активации «неофициальными» методами, а причиной может быть:
- Неработоспособность сервера активации, если используется ручная активация с использованием альтернативных серверов.
- Антивирус — как сторонний, так и встроенный Microsoft Defender.
Решение для этой ситуации — поискать альтернативные методы.
В случае лицензионной Windows и ошибках активации в ней, причинами могут быть:
- Временная недоступность серверов активации (если до этого с активацией всё было в порядке), как из-за проблем на стороне Майкрософт, так и по причине использования VPN, прокси, стороннего файрволла, утилит для блокировки/отключения функций телеметрии Windows.
- Повреждение системных файлов Windows, как и в предыдущих случаях, попробуйте выполнить команды восстановления в командной строке, запущенной от имени администратора, после чего перезагрузить компьютер:
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth sfc /scannow
- Неправильные разрешения для раздела реестра
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT
и его подразделов. Возможное решение (причина маловероятна и если вы не уверены в своих действиях, лучше не менять разрешения): вручную предоставить полный доступ к разделу для группы «СИСТЕМА», подробнее на тему: Как стать владельцем раздела реестра в Windows.
В завершение — некоторые дополнительные возможные причины и подходы к исправлению ошибки 0x8007000d в различных ситуациях, если предыдущие варианты не сработали:
- Ранее случалось, что рассматриваемая ошибка при установке обновлений в Центре обновлений была вызвана проблемами со стороны Майкрософт, которые затем были решены. Если вы получаете сообщение об указанной ошибке при установке одного конкретного обновления, а действия из первой части инструкции не помогли, может иметь смысл подождать несколько дней, не предпринимая каких-либо дополнительных действий.
- При появлении ошибки после каких-либо недавних обновлений, модификации системы, установки программ, можно попробовать использовать точки восстановления системы на дату, когда проблема не наблюдалась.
- Иногда причиной ошибки 0x8007000d при установке обновлений или активации оказываются сторонние службы и фоновые приложения. Проверьте, появляется ли ошибка, если использовать режим чистой загрузки Windows.
- Вы можете переустановить Windows, исправив большинство ошибок и не затрагивая пользовательские программы и данные: для этого достаточно смонтировать образ Windows (правый клик по файлу ISO — Подключить) и запустить файл setup.exe с него.
- Ошибка 0x8007000d в процессе установки обновлений или операционной системы обычно говорит о повреждении данных в каких-либо из используемых файлов. Иногда причиной оказываются выходящие из строя накопители или ошибки оперативной памяти. Это редкий случай, но проверка оперативной памяти и диска на ошибки не будет лишней.
Надеюсь, один из предложенных вариантов был результативен в вашем случае. Буду благодарен, если вы сможете оставить комментарий о том, при каком процессе вы столкнулись с рассмотренной ошибкой и что сработало для её исправления: эта информация может быть полезной другим пользователям.
