pop Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Greetings. I hope you can help me. I was not able to obtain Windows Updates. I could not connect to the site. In addition, I was unable to get updates for Microsoft Security Essentials. After much searching and trying procedures, BITS was not in Serices. I eventually was able to have an entry there, but the file required was not on my computer. Thus I downloaded and ran Dial-a-Fix version 0.60.0.24 I checked box 3 Fix Windows Updates. Other boxes in 4 a 5 became checked. The program hung up on cryptography - over 30 minutes. I clicked on the red X, but the program continued to give the message "cancelling after current procedure completes". I opened task manager and stopped the program. I ran the program again using the same check on Window Updates. The same hang up appeared. I looked in Task Manager -> Processes but could not find MSiEXEC.EXE. So The program sits with the message "cancelling after current procedure completes". I do not want to reboot the computer for fear that it will not boot. Do you have any advice or suggestions?

Administrator Tarun Posted October 11, 2013 Administrator Share Posted October 11, 2013 I'd recommend running ResetWindowsUpdate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Thanks for your reply. I want to know what to do about Dial-a-Fix which is still hung up. I have restarted most of the services, even if I did not know what they were for. What else has Dial-a-Fix changed or stopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted October 11, 2013 Administrator Share Posted October 11, 2013 Honestly, I'd just close Dial-a-fix and run the Windows Update Repair. I believe there's a Log function in Dial-a-fix which tells you what it has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
