Fix It by Microsoft – Simple and easy way to reset Windows Update

Reset Windows Update for any version of Windows

Finally Microsoft has come up with a very easy (for everyone, not just network administrators) tool for fixing Windows Update problems. Basically on the workstation with Windows Update issues go to the Microsoft KB Article 971058 labeled How do I reset Windows Update components? and click the Microsoft Fix it 50202 Button then follow the onscreen instructions.

Manually resetting Windows Update

If you want to do what the program is doing, just run these commands in a Command Prompt window;

netsh winsock reset all
netsh int 6to4 reset all
netsh int ipv4 reset all
netsh int ipv6 reset all
netsh int httpstunnel reset all
netsh int isatap reset all
netsh int portproxy reset all
netsh int tcp reset all
netsh int teredo reset all
