#Small tips - Windows update problems

Next post will be about Windows update problems.

Today at my job I had got a problem with update installation on Windows 8.1.

The updates was downloaded from my local WSUS server correctly but I couldn’t install it.

Solution was very simple.

First of all you need to stop windows update service.

1.      Type services.msc in windows search box. Look for Windows Update and stop it.

Next you need to delete two folders from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution – DataStore and Download

 

Finally you can start windows update service again, and go to Control Panel to search and install updates.

#Small tips - Cannot attach the file (Entity Framework)

Hi, today I had got problem after deleted my database mdf file from catalog App_Data.
I want to create new database by using update-database  command in Package Manager Console (in Visual Studio).

So if you get this error and you are using sqllocaldb as your database for ASP.NET MVC project:

You need to open Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 (enter name in search box of your Windows system)

Then run the following commands:

sqllocaldb.exe stop

And next

sqllocaldb.exe delete

After this your update-database should work property.
