Windows Update Failure <Error Code: 0x80070426> RRS feed

  • Question

  • When I tried to run the Windows Update on the Windows Defender, I get this error message:
    Error Code: 0x80070426

    Also, I've tried to use the System Restore to restore it to a previous date, but it still doesn't work.
    What I have encountered is as follows:
    1. Control Panel cannot open up
    2. Windows Update no longer works

    I had previously installed some software to help display foreign languages like Korean, Japanese and other Unicode (I am not sure what that means actually, I am not an expert), and I am not sure if it might be related to this system failure.

  •  Hello jinfin,

      The problem is that your Vista's Software Licensing Service has stopped. Vista uses this service to check itself and confirm it is Genuine. When the service is stopped, Vista is unable to confirm it's own Genuine status and may show Genuine or Non-Genuine. The fact that the Service has stopped is also, most likely, the cause of other issues you may be experiencing (such as not having access to the Control Panel).

      Normally this is not a big problem, since you can just restart the Service. However, we have seen a number of users that receive an error when they attempt to restart the Service. This indicates a more serious 'root cause' to the service having stopped.

      What I would like you to do is to try to restart the service using the 'Service Restart' steps, below. If the service won't restart, you will receive an error. If you receive an error, post the exact error message in this thread.

      Also tell me if you are using a 32 or 64bit version of Vista and if you have recently used any kind of 'Registry Cleaner' program (and if so, which one)


    Service Restart steps:

    If you have access to the Start button:

    1) Click the Start button
    2) Type: cmd in the Start Search field
    3) At the top the Start window, you will see cmd.exe
    4) Right Click cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator
    5) Type: net start slsvc 

    If you do not have access to the Start button:

    1) Click the option that launches an Internet Browser
    2) A Browser will open, type: %windir%\system32 into the address field
    3) Find the file cmd.exe
    4) Right Click on the cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator
    5) Type: net start slsvc

    Thank you,
    Darin MS

  • Hello Darin Smith MS,

    I am currently experiencing the exact same problem as jinfin did. I also tried following the steps you described in your above post. When I type "net start slsvc" in the command prompt, the following lines are displayed in the command prompt:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    C:\Windows\system32\net start slsvc
    The software licensing service is starting.
    The software licensing service could not be started.

    A system error has occurred.

    System error 5 has occurred.

    Access is denied.

    C:\Windows\system32>
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If you could let me know what your thoughts are regarding this issue, I would appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
