    While working at a computer, a user may encounter many types of different system errors. They can be caused for various reasons, and each of them requires its own individual approach. Fortunately, everyone can easily learn how to deal with this scourge. Now one of these errors will be analyzed - 80244019. It is directly related to such a resource as "Windows Update" and the BITS service in particular.

    What causes error 80244019

    In order to deal with the problem, the first thing you need to do is find out “where the roots grow from,” that is, the reason for its occurrence.

    One thing is certain - this error appears only during an update of the Windows 7 operating system, when the download occurs from Microsoft servers. If you dig deeper, you can find out that the code 80244019 appears when the server was unable to fulfill your URI request. In turn, the URI stands for an individual resource number. Several assumptions can be made from this.

    • Licensed software that interacts with Windows Update has made adjustments to it, thereby disabling it.
    • Malicious software affected Windows Update, disabling it.
    • The operating system has disabled the BITS service, which runs in the background and is responsible for intelligent data transfer.
    • Windows automatic update has been disabled.
    • Impact of malware on the BITS service.

    What immediately catches your eye is that everywhere the BITS service and Windows Update play a key role, or rather, its disabling. As you might guess, all manipulations related to solving the problem will be carried out with them.

    How to fix error 80244019

    Having found out directly the causes of the error, you can move on to solving it. And as you can understand, there is not just one solution, all four methods will be presented.

    Advice. Follow all the listed methods to solve the problem along the way, periodically checking whether it has been resolved. This will give a higher percentage of success rate.

    Method 1: Virus cleaning

    Based on reviews from most users, it is clear that the most common cause of error 80244019 is a problem with malware. Therefore, it would be wise to start with an analysis of how to eliminate the problem associated with viruses.

    Where there are viruses, you always need an antivirus. Avast Free Antivirus will be used as an example, but you can use whatever you see fit.

    The first step is to start Windows 7 in safe mode. This is necessary so that the malware cannot block attempts to eliminate it.


    After that, wait until the operating system itself starts and open Avast Free Antivirus.

    After this, the virus cleaning process can be considered complete. All that remains is to restart the computer and log into Windows 7 as usual. If the problem was a virus, then error 80244019 will be fixed. If not, then move on to the second method.

    Method 2: Enable automatic mode

    The second method is much simpler than the previous one; firstly, it takes much less time, and secondly, there is no need to download third-party programs. The very essence is to enable the automatic mode of receiving, downloading and installing update packages from Microsoft. After all, as mentioned above, some programs can automatically turn off this option.

    It is worth noting that this method is ineffective, because software that disables automatic installation of updates can again cause harm. However, this is the whole point, to start with the simplest methods, and gradually move on to complex, but more effective ones. After all, as stated at the beginning of the article, all the methods that will be presented are independent, and the implementation of each of them gives a greater chance of success.

    Method 3: Adjustments to IP address and DNS

    The method that will now be presented gives a higher probability of success than the previous one, since it directly concerns the Internet connection. After all, this is logical, if there is no Internet, then updates will not be able to download, however, if the network parameters are set incorrectly, interruptions may only occur with “ Windows Update", but there will be no impact on the home network. As you might guess, this is precisely why error 80244019 may occur.

    So, to perform the necessary manipulations, use the instructions:


    That's all. If there were problems with the IP address or DNS server, they have been resolved. Just in case, restart your computer to consolidate the changes in the system and then try to search for and install Windows updates.

    Method 4: Changes in Background Intelligent Transfer Service

    If all of the above methods did not help you, then do not rush to despair, there is another one that can correct the situation. At the beginning of the article, we talked about a service called BITS, and that it directly affects Windows Update. By the way, BITS is the same as the background intelligent transfer service, and incorrectly configured parameters in it cause error 80244019 to occur.

    Based on the above, we can understand that since the error appears due to incorrect parameters in the service, they need to be changed to the correct ones. Now let's learn more about how to do this.

    1. Initially, you need to get into the utility called “ Services" The easiest way to do this is through the window " Execute" To call it, press the key combination Win+R.

    2. A window will appear in the lower left corner of the screen. In its only text input field, you need to enter a special command services.msc, which will open that same utility, and then click the “ OK».
    3. The window “ Services" In it you need to find the line “ Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)" Then double-click on this line to open the service properties window.

    4. Please make sure that the "" tab is open. General" It has a drop-down list " Startup type" The value in it must be replaced with " Manually».

    5. After that, move your gaze a little lower and click the “ Launch" It is also worth mentioning that in the image below this button will be inactive, since there is no error in the operating system, but if you have error 80244019 caused by the BITS service, then the button will be active. Click it, confirm all actions performed by pressing the button " OK».

    6. Now we need to make changes to the configuration of two more services. The first one is “ Windows Update", find it in the list and open properties by double-clicking on the name with the left mouse button.

    7. In the properties window, you will need to carry out similar actions as last time, with only a few differences - from the drop-down list “ Startup type" choose " Automatically" After this, also press the button Launch" and then " OK».

    8. The second service is called " Windows Event Log" Find it in the list and open it "Properties".

    9. Now repeat the manipulations from the seventh point of these instructions: select the automatic startup type, click the " Launch", and then " OK».

    After this, all manipulations can be considered completed. Go to Windows Update again and try to search for and install updates, this time everything should work and error 80244019 will be resolved. If you have forgotten how to get to Windows Update, then scroll through the article a little higher, to the second method of solving the problem, and follow the instructions from the first to the third paragraph.

    What to do if error 80244019 does not disappear

    Of course, there is an option that even after performing all four ways to fix the problem, it will remain. This happens rarely, but it does happen. In this case, there is nothing more that can be done, but there is still an explanation. Most likely, the problem is in the operating system itself. Since most users use unlicensed versions, RePack, so to speak, may initially have an error that cannot be corrected. The second option is more trivial - Microsoft servers may be temporarily unavailable, in which case you should just wait. It may also happen that your ISP is at fault.

    As a result, I would like to say that you should always use licensed products, as this gives complete confidence that there will be a minimum number of system malfunctions, and even if they appear, they can be dealt with in a matter of minutes.

    The Windows operating system from Microsoft is not perfect, and for it to function correctly, you need to constantly update the software included with it.

    This is why the Windows Update service was invented, through which the user receives all the fixes and additions to the products he uses. The main purpose of this service is to improve the security and performance of Windows operating systems.

    But although all this sounds very nice, sometimes errors occur in the operation of this product. One of these is update error code 80244019. It occurs in all operating systems, starting with Windows 7. And this article will discuss the main methods for fixing this problem.

    Why error 80244019 occurs: main reasons

    The main cause of error 80244019 is the failure of the Windows Update service due to incorrect operation of the update download service. There are many possible reasons why Windows updates cannot be downloaded, here are the main ones:

    • The time of the client and server are not consistent, that is, the time of the computer from which the request is sent to the update server is different. As a result, the Windows Update server cannot provide the latest data for the requested product.
    • Damage to the system core due to a virus attack.
    • The service responsible for updates has stopped.
    • The latest downloaded updates were damaged or were not downloaded completely. Consequently, when downloading new files, a conflict arises.

    How to fix error 80244019?

    As has already become clear, this problem occurs on all Windows operating systems, and therefore, for greater clarity, we use Windows 7 as the most common of them to fix it.

    Initially, you need to check your computer for virus activity; for this we use an online scanner from ESET.

    We go to the official website of ESET and download a product called ESET Online Scanner (Click the “Launch” button):

    After this, we launch the product we downloaded as administrator:

    We check the box to enable detection of unwanted software, opens additional settings, check the boxes as shown in the figure:

    After the scan is completed, restart the computer and try to start downloading the updates.

    If checking your computer does not help, check the startup status of the update service. To do this, go to the “Start” menu, then to the “Control Panel”, then go to the “System and Security” item, then open the “Administration” tab:

    Then go to the “Services” application:

    Go to the properties of the update center service:

    We start this service and select the startup type “Automatic (delayed start)”:

    Reboot the computer and try to update the system.

    If even this method did not help, then download the troubleshooter from the official Microsoft website:

    This utility will help your computer get rid of errors in the update service. Don't forget to restart your computer after each action.

    Regular operating system updates help eliminate vulnerabilities and ensure that it supports the latest technologies. But during the update installation procedure, various problems may appear. One of the most common of them is error 80244019. Let's find out how to fix this problem in Windows 7.

    The causes of error 80244019 can be either viruses or various internal failures that led to changes in settings or damage to system files that are involved in downloading and installing updates. Accordingly, methods for solving a problem depend on the source of its occurrence. Below we will look at specific options for resolving the problem under study.

    Method 1: Virus check

    One of the main reasons for error 80244019 is a virus infection. Therefore, as soon as this problem occurs, you must scan your computer for viruses. Even if the cause lies in another factor, checking will not hurt, but if you waste time, the malicious code can cause even more damage.

    Scanning should be performed not with a standard antivirus, but with the help of special treatment utilities that do not require installation. In this case, it is best to carry out the procedure either from a third-party, uninfected PC, or using a LiveCD/USB. But if for some reason you cannot do this, then scan in "Safe Mode". If a virus is detected, follow the recommendations that appear in the antivirus tool window.

    Unfortunately, even if a virus is detected and eliminated, this does not guarantee that the error will disappear, since the malicious code could have made changes to the system that need to be corrected. The problem is that we do not know which specific parameters should be checked and adjusted, so use all the methods described below in turn until you determine that error 80244019 has disappeared.

    Method 2: Setting up a connection to WEB

    First of all, you need to make sure that the connection to the web network is configured correctly. This course of action is also suitable when the root cause of the problem is not a virus, but a glitch.

    1. Click "Start". Come in "Control Panel".

    2. Next click "Network and Internet".

    3. Select "Network Control Center...".

    4. On the left side of the window, select "Changing adapter settings".

    5. From the list of connections (if there are several), in the window that appears, select the current option with which you regularly connect to the World Wide Web. Right click on it ( RMB). Select from the list "Properties".

    6. The connection properties shell opens. In the tab "Net" choose an option "Internet Protocol Version 4" and select it. Click "Properties".

    7. If IP addresses are entered in the fields in the shell that appears, make sure that they match those issued by your provider. If it does not give out individual IP addresses, then move all the radio buttons to the top active position and press "OK". This means that you will now receive addresses automatically.

    After performing the above manipulations, you can check whether the error occurs during the update again or whether it was finally resolved.

    Method 3: Starting Services

    One of the reasons for error 80244019 is also the disabling of some services, which can be caused by both viruses and other factors. In this case, you must enable the deactivated services and configure them to start automatically in the future.

    1. Going to "Control Panel" via menu "Start", click "System and Security".

    2. Next, select the option "Administration".

    3. In the list that appears, follow the inscription "Services".

    4. The shell opens "Service Manager". Look for the option in the list of elements "Background intelligent service...". To make your search easier, you can arrange objects in alphabetical order by clicking on the column name "Name". Take a look at the service status in the column "State". If it is indicated there "Works", which means that everything is in order with this element and you need to move on to the next one. But if nothing is indicated in this column, then double-click on the above object with the left mouse button.

    5. In the window that opens, change properties in the field "Startup type" Select from the drop-down list "Manually" or "Automatically". Next click "Apply" And "OK".

    6. Back in "Dispatcher", highlight the element name again and press "Run".

    7. The procedure for starting the selected service will be performed.

    8. After its successful completion, the status should be displayed opposite the specified element "Works".

    9. Also check that in the column "State" status was indicated "Works", and in the column "Startup type" there was a status "Automatically" at the services "Windows Event Log" And "Windows Update". If values ​​are set there that differ from the above, then in this case, perform the same manipulations to activate objects that were described above.

    You can then resume trying to update Windows. If the problem was disabled services, then the error should no longer appear again.

    Method 4: Recovering system files

    Windows 7 users may encounter the above error even if system files on their computer have been damaged for some reason. Therefore, it makes sense to perform an appropriate check and, if necessary, carry out a recovery procedure.

    1. Click "Start". Come in "All programs".

    2. Sign in "Standard".

    3. Find in the list "Command line" and click RMB by the specified name. In the list that appears, select "Run as administrator".

    4. Opens "Command line". Here we will need to enter a special command to launch the utility "Check Disk", which will scan and restore problematic files. Enter:

      Click Enter.

    5. If you then receive a message stating that the specified command cannot be executed because the selected volume is in use, then enter "Y", click Enter and restart your computer. After the reboot, the system will be scanned for damaged system files. If such problems are identified, the damaged elements will be restored.

    You can now try to update the system again.

    As you can see, despite the fact that the main cause of error 80244019 is a viral infection, it can also be caused by other factors. In addition, even when eliminating a virus, it is often necessary to configure the individual elements that it has infected. In any case, if the above problem appears, it is recommended, first of all, to scan your PC with an anti-virus utility, and then, if the problem does not disappear, try to fix it using other methods described in this article.
