November 25th, 2008Windows Update Not Working or Fails; Reset Windows Update Settings
November 19th, 2008This is mostly seen with WSUS but I have run into it from time to time through regular day to day items.
While working on a server today I kept being informed that the Windows Updates were failing. When checking the Windows Update log file I found the error. From there I went about fixing it.
Turns out the junior guys were confused as I said “Ah.” and dropped to a command prompt. That reminded me that sometimes I really need to explain what is going on in my head to others.
This issue is really easy to fix. It usually happens when there is a problem with the installation of an update. In this case I found that the C: drive was in the middle of compressing files and it so happened that one of the folders was the “softwaredistribution” folder where updates are stored to be installed.
Here is what you need to do:
- Open a command prompt. (If you don’t know how please contact a technical support person)
- regsvr32 /u wuaueng.dll
- del C:\WINDOWS\SOFTWAREDISTRIBUTION
- del C:\WINDOWSUPDATE.log (if this tells you that it is in use just go to the next step).
- Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
- Net start wuauserv
- Wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow
There you go, you should be able to request Windows Updates and they will download and install as you expect.

October 2nd, 2008What is mscorsvw.exe and why is it eating up my CPU?
October 1st, 2008mscorsvw.exe is precompiling .NET assemblies in the background. Once it’s done, it will go away. Typically, after you install the .NET Redist, it will be done with the high priority assemblies in 5 to 10 minutes and then will wait until your computer is idle to process the low priority assemblies. Once it does that it will shutdown and you won’t see mscorsvw.exe. One important thing is that while you may see 100% CPU usage, the compilation happens in a process with low priority, so it tries not to steal the CPU for other stuff you are doing. Once everything is compiled, assemblies will now be able to share pages across different processes and warm start up will be typically much faster, so we’re not throwing away your cycles.
If you are really want to get rid of mscorsvw.exe from your task manager, just do:
ngen.exe executequeueditems
which will drain all the queued up work.
