Feb 16, 2010 All the remaining programs could not even detect it as an MW. But since Prevx 3.0 was a trial version, I could not fix update,exe using that. So that's why I want to know if the update.exe in my case is really a malware/virus or not. 4) I am attaching few screenshots of MSCONFIG, which shows that the update.exe corresponds to Windows update. Mar 02, 2017 The Windows Update sandbox is a protected folder. Wusa.exe calls the appropriate function in the Windows Update Agent API according to the mode in which you start Wusa.exe. When the Windows Update wizard finishes the installation, the Windows Update Agent API returns a status. Then, Wusa.exe works synchronously with the Windows Update Agent API. The Windows Update.exe file is not a Windows system file. There is no information about the author of the file. The process starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: User Shell Folders). Windows Update.exe is able to monitor applications, record keyboard. Find Windows Update using your Start Screen. Windows Update is included in the Control Panel. Wuapp.exe This only opens the update application and checks available updates, it does not install them. Also if you have set 'Never check for updates' in Windows Update settings, this does not checks for updates too, you will have to click the 'Check for updates' button.
Feb 11, 2018 The wuauclt.exe file is located in the folder C:WindowsSystem32 It Automatically checks with the Microsoft website for updates to the operating system. It shows up on the Task Manager's processes list when it is waiting for a response, such as to confirm permission to download an update.
Hi,I don't remember when this started, but whenever I boot my laptop it asks for my permission to run update.exe just after the start-up. When i click on Yes to allow it, it shows the following error message:
'Run-time error 339: Component 'MSWINSCK.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registerd: a file is missing or invalid.'
But when I click on No, nothing happens.
It happens so every time I boot my laptop,
Below is the information about my laptop:
Dell Studio XPS 1640
Windows 7 operating system
Mcafee Antivirus software
Windows 7 operating system
Mcafee Antivirus software
I am a newbie to these technical terms. Please help me to get rid of this Update.exe.
Is it a malware? or, a normal application to update windows? How can I be sure if it is a malware or not? and if yes, how can I remove it?
Assuming that to be a malware, I tried to run a number of protection softwares like Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, A-squared anti-malware, Solo technology anti-malware, Mcafee Virus Scan etc. but in vain.
Also, I think I should write it too here. When I allow the Update.exe to run initially after start-up, I can see the process running in Task Manager. When I try to see the file location of this process, it shows the location as 'C:Windowssystemupdate.exe' (Not C:WindowsSystem32 though I have both folders viz system and System32 in Windows folder),but C:Windowssystem is an empty folder in my laptop.
