Through Control Panel - Windows Update, I've tried the Windows Update with Windows Ultimate Extras. I get an error "Windows could not search for new updates". Error(s) found: Code 80070490
Underneath it says Most recent check for updates: Never
Updates were installed: Never
You have windows set to: Automatically install new updates every day at 11:00 AM
You receive updates: For Windows and other products from Microsoft Update
I've had this problem for a while. Tried searching Google to fix the problem, tried a few things, no help. Called Lenovo, they directed me to this forum. Says I have no installed updates at this point. I know that's not true. Running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit, and am on SP1. I'm open to trying just about anything, but will need specific directions as to how to solve the problem. Thank you.![Cry :cry: :cry:](/images/smilies/011.gif)
10:00 AM Update - In another thread I saw I should run sfc/scannow in administrator mode and I did. Said it found corrupt files and successfully repaired them. It created a CBS.log file too big to copy here. However, trying the Windows Update feature, it still did not work, and has the same error code.
