Check in the log which update fails first. If one update fails, they all will after that. Let me know which one it is as it could be related to a particular service. You can set your services back to default, if desired, to see if that corrects the issue:

@BlackViper

Awesome post! Thanks for all the hard work you have put into this.

Last friday I wend through my Services and set almost everything to the “Tweaked” setting. (Anything else was left at default)

But this Tuesday, when some updates roll around from Microsoft, Windows Update has an error trying to install ANY update, whether it be for Silverlight, Office, or Windows. Is the error at all possibly related to changing my Services?

Thanks,
SonofNun

Relativating is what you’re supposed to do, because all the PC’s that have been crashed by your
configuration sets in the past outnumber the amount of PC’s that actually had a speed up, rationally seen.
Your “guides” might be great to get people to think and experiment, but they don’t serve any purpose
(anymore) as “disabling” a service in any way doesn’t enchance performance. A service only actively
uses processing capacity and memory if the user has interaction with the upperlying program, otherwise
it will be reserved for other programs in need of it. I really don’t see why you advice people to DISABLE
services, if it doesn’t serve any security/performance purpose than why? It only reduces functionality and
flexibility in the future, Microsoft had a purpose for the configuration of each service.

To me it seems like you have no idea what you are working on, you keep continuing on the service guides
because its your entire world as for PCs, it gives you a feeling of control because you have no idea
about operating systems at all, and meanwhile you enjoy the publicity and compliments of people urging for exactly
the same, control with no priority or purpose.

If you want to contribute without giving people a false sense of improvement, then do something valuable.

I’ve spoken here for all the idiots that become victem of your awesome guides lollol

Have a good day Mr. QuackViper

“No need” is relative. You may not need it but many people have requested it for various reasons.
I have been doing services research and modification for 13 years. If I am not qualified to do it, no one is. For the most part, the “Events” that cause a service to start is not made available, so I have to figure it out on my own. Give it a shot sometime across 4 OS’s, different flavors of those OS’s and lets not forget about each Service Pack release that I have to start all over with and 32 bit plus 64 bit configurations.
If you would read the bullet points above the table and warnings to each degree I reduce services, you would understand the effects and consequences of your actions and what component functionality is disabled.
With XP’s barebones setup, it really reduced the amount of junk running that was never needed. Unfortunately, With Windows Vista and 7, many services are tied together in groups and the whole group needs to be disabled and a person may need “one” of said group. As such, they are much more “safe” then you may think verse my XP recommendations.
If a service is not used (ever) and placed in Automatic by default… it can be safely disabled with no ill effects.
Thanks for your opinion, but the tens of thousands of supporting comments outweigh the few that have “no need”.

Why do you advice people to configure startup types that way? Its irresponsible and clumsy.
Theres absolutely no need to “barebone” an Operating System by disabling a whole bunch of services. Disabling a service will reduce the Operating System in fuctionality.
Some services have to run when necessary, you didn’t seem to do any research what events causes a service to start before advicing people to disable it.
The scheme is heavily overdone and only someone that has insights in the layering of Windows should advice this.
