The installer detected error 0x80070422 when updating Windows: the simplest methods of fixing the problem

In most cases, error code 0x80070422 indicates that the system could not install the available service packs. There can be several reasons for this. Let's consider often arising problems and possible ways of their elimination.

Possible causes of the message "Installer detected error 0x80070422"

Because the update service can not install updates, this may mean that the processes responsible for this are disabled and in an inactive state.

What exactly are they blocking? It is believed that there are several reasons:

  • The impact of viruses on the "Update Center" and some services;
  • Inactive state of services due to manual shutdown and third-party intervention;
  • Damage to "Update Center" files;
  • Disabled RPC and BITS processes.

Based on the above, you can apply several ways to troubleshoot such problems.

We check the system for viruses

In case the system reports that the installer has detected the error 0x80070422, first of all it is necessary to perform a full scan of the computer for threats that can block the update services (in particular, this applies to the installation of security packages).

Microsoft experts recommend using programs like Mydoom, Sasser or Blaster. However, in the simplest case, the usual portable scanners or programs like AntiMalware Bytes are fine. To start the test, the system is best loaded in safe mode (at the beginning of the boot, for all systems except Windows 10, use the F8 key).

However, according to many users, the most effective tool will be to download from a specially created disk Rescue Disk from Kaspersky Lab or Dr.Web. Web before the start of the system itself. In this case, a fuller and more profound inspection can be carried out.

Enable the firewall and additional services

If threats are not detected, one of the reasons might be a disabled Windows Firewall (0x80070422 code appears again and again).

To solve the problem, go to computer management (through the right-click menu on the corresponding icon or call the partition with the services.msc command), and then use the services section where you need to find the firewall (firewall). The right click causes its properties. In the new window, use the startup type string and set the value to "Automatic" and click the "Run" button. Then we save the changes and overload the system. In some cases, a message that the installer has detected an error 0x80070422 does not appear any more. The same applies to enabling the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service and the BITS background transfer service. Firewall was taken as an example.

Changing the automatic update

It also happens that the error appears even when the automatic update is enabled. You can try to solve the problem by disabling it, after which you can search for updates in the manual mode. If they are found, they need to be installed.

After that, it is desirable to restart the computer or laptop, then log on to the "Update Center" and set the automatic update type. If the service files are not damaged, this method will help.

We use the utility Microsoft Fix it!

But in case of violations in the "Update Center" itself, it is not possible to manually fix the problem of the message that the installer detected the error 0x80070422, it does not work (you need to do system rollbacks, copy or restore system files, which is problematic without special knowledge).

For such cases, Microsoft experts recommend using their own tool for automatically finding problems and fixing them under the name Fix It! It is good that no user is required to participate in the process. You just need to start the program, activate the scanning process, and at the end confirm the corrections. When using some settings, you can set and automatically correct detected failures without confirmation.
