Windows 10: NetBT 4307 Error After Windows Update

I tried Microsoft Chat Support first and they were completely unhelpful. Their sole solution for this was to continue to do an in place upgrade install that would erase all of the programs on the computer. So, I am hopeful that the Community can help.

We have a Windows 10 computer (came from HP with Windows 10 on it). It would not get online via wireless or ethernet. Tried the following:

1. netsh int ip reset
2. statically assigned IP address
3. revert back to dynamic
4. netsh advfirewall reset
5. disabled firewall
6. netsh winsock reset
7. sfc /scannow
8. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

None of the above worked. We even saw one thread that said you needed to input a registry value for IPv6. Did not work.

We have a Windows 10 CD. So, we did an in place upgrade reinstall (keeping programs and files). When it was finished, that worked. We were online and all was working fine again. Then it downloaded Windows Updates: KB4462930, KB4100347, KB4457146, KB4462919, KB890830 and a Realtek Driver update 2023.66.1104.2017. See image below.



After the restart, it would not get online again. Plugged ethernet cable in and tried. Disconnected and tried wireless. The DHCP Client pegs out. See image.




Also, in the Event Viewer, we get a NetBT Event 4307 "Initialization failed because the transport refused to open initial address". See image.




Did an in place upgrade install again. Once again, it was fixed and online. Set a restore point. Went online and it downloaded the same updates again, because the in place upgrade reverted the system. Restart. Will not go online again. Tried system restore to before Windows updates. Still will not get online.


I tried Microsoft Chat Support and they want me to do an In-Place Upgrade Custom Install that will erase all of my applications. In my opinion, reinstalling Windows and removing all of the applications is NOT a fix. Since I have very specific information on the error and what exactly is producing the issue, I feel that I should have a single fix or solution.


I am hopeful that someone in the Microsoft Community has had this problem and has a fix other than an In-Place Upgrade Custom Install. If I do not get a solution, my final option is going to be to use the Microsoft Update Blocker, do an In-Place Upgrade Install (keeping all files and applications) and simply block those updates. But that is not preferred.


Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Who has seen this vista update error

When you go to Windows vista update and it tell you to update a driver that you have already updated. Then it says failed to update and gives you the error code that tell you that you already have a never version than that. WTF? Why in the world would it be trying to updated something with an older driver. Well the only way to get it out of your windows update list is to go uninstall what ever that driver is then run the update and install it. Then run the newer drivers again.

Well I still can't get the Nivida Network Bridge to disappear out of the list. I uninstall the one in device manager and go to the update and before it's even done with that. Vista is automatically installing a newer version than is in the Vista update list.......

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

Step 1 Register DLL files.

=================

By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

Regsvr32 wups2.dll

Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

Regsvr32 wups.dll

Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

Regsvr32 jscript.dll



Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

=========================================

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Event Log

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

===================================

One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net stop WuAuServ



2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net start WuAuServ



Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.
