Code 8007000e. Windows 7 Upgrade Error: Causes

Based on the material about the failures of the "Update Center", which is submitted on the official website, the appearance of this situation is associated with temporary communication disruptions, although the error description indicates memory problems. (E_OUTOFMEMORY).

As far as the interpretation is consistent with the reasons, it's not for us to judge, but the way out of this situation is simple enough.

How to fix error code 8007000e?

As practice shows and reviews of most experts, sometimes the problem lies only in the fact that the system itself can not install one update package with the number KB3083324. In this case, the error message appears in the error message 8007000e (an error occurred when updating Windows 7).

It is believed that the simplest solution to the problem is to install this package in manual mode. It simply needs to be downloaded from the official Microsoft resource, and then integrated into the system (the installer has an executable MSU format).

In some cases, the installation of the updated Windows Update Client package, which can also be downloaded on the official resource, can help.

However, these are isolated cases. As for the main memory-related problem, here it is necessary to pay attention to the intelligent data transfer service and the DNS cache data. In the first case, you should check the client version (at least there should be a correspondence between the modification of WinHTTP 5.1 and BITS 2.0).

If the system generates code 8007000e with enviable persistence (Windows 7 upgrade error), you can try to clear (reset) the DNS cache data. To do this, call the command line (cmd in the "Run" console) and enter the ipconfig / flushdns command there. If everything is done correctly, then you can try to search for updates again.

Sometimes it may be necessary to stop and restart the update service itself and the proxy server used on the system. To perform these actions, we again use the command line, where we first write the command proxycfg -d, then we use the on and off services, using the lines net stop wuauserv and net start wuauserv. In the end, you can enter exit, although this is not necessary.

Finally, if the 8007000e code appears again in the notification (Windows 7 upgrade error), the problem may be that the hosts file contains incorrect or unnecessary entries blocking the work of the Update Center.

To fix the situation, find the object itself (in the System32 directory of the Windows root directory, it's the drivers folder, which has a subfolder etc). You need to copy the hosts file to another location, open it in Notepad, and delete all entries that contain links to the update (update, Microsoft update, and similar instructions for Internet addresses). Next, save the changes and move the object to the desired location, replacing the original. Quickly open the file using the command notepad% windir% system32driversetchosts in the "Run" menu. It goes without saying that all operations should be performed only on behalf of the administrator, otherwise the file will not be available for editing for security reasons.

The result

These are the simplest methods for solving problems when searching for updates. There can be a lot of situations related to such a malfunction, so for each case it is necessary to search for your own solution. But it is for cases when the code 8007000e is present in the description (Windows 7 upgrade error) that the above methods help almost always.
