Updates Keep failing in Windows Vista / 7 “updates were not configured correctly reverting changes”
I recently ran into a computer that was constantly failing all updates. Here is what I did to fix this issue.
- Run registry cleaner to remove orphaned registry entries. My recommendation is to download CCleaner
- Run the following commands as an Administrator from command line or Alternatively you can download Updatefix.bat (I Created This)
- Reboot your computer. The deleted files are regenerated and you can now install windows updates.
cd /d %SystemRoot%\System32\SMI\Store\Machine
attrib -s -h *
del *.blf
del *.regtrans-ms

Awesome fiX! Followed the instructions to the letter and not only did they fix the update issue, but other issues I didn’t even know I had. Thank you!
