Danish ISP have blocked TPB in the dns’s so users cant access it, to change that, open the file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts the file is a regular txt file, so just open it with your favorite editor (notepad <3) and append this to the file:

If you are running vista you might get a permission error, in that case, follow these steps first:

1) Right-click the file and select Properties.
2) Click on the Security tab.
3) Click Advanced in the lower right.
4) In the Advanced Security Settings window that pops up, click on the Owner tab.
5) Click Edit.
6) Click Other users or groups.
7) Click Advanced in the lower left corner.
8) Click Find Now.
9) Scroll through the results and double-click on your current user account.
10) Click OK to all of the remaining windows except the first Properties window.
11) Select your user account from the list up top and click Edit.
12) Select your user account from the list up top again and then in the pane below, check Full control under Allow, or as much control as you need.
You’ll get a security warning, click Yes.

All done :D
The reason this works is because it dosnt use your dns servers to query the above domains, it asks the hosts file first

I recently discovered this problem on my parrents computer, i was doing a fresh install of windows due to a harddrive loss

I began installing windows, and efter 10minutes it crashes with that error code

after researchin om tha web and i still coundt find a decent solution i notised the cpu fan wasnt running?!
i replaced it and havnt seen the error since :)

and what can we conclude? 0×0000009c is caused by over heating of the cpu

I got this error someday, and the problem is it cant update.

but ofcause there is a way to fix this.
The first thing i would try is running Windows Defender in administration mode (Right click on shortcut and “run as administrator”) and try to update again
-this didt work for me but worth a try

the secound thing you can try is actualy found on the MS website, and is quite simple and this DID work for me:

1. Start the computer in safe mode. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Restart the computer.
b. Press the F8 key as the computer restarts.

Note You have to press the F8 key before the Windows Vista progress indicator appears.
c. When the Advanced Boot Options menu appears, use the arrow keys to select the Safe Mode option, and then press ENTER.

2. Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, type %windir% in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

Note In this step, %windir% represents the path of the Windows system folder. Typically, C:\Windows is the path of the Windows system folder.
b. Locate the SoftwareDistribution folder.
c. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
d. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER.

3. Restart the computer

If this STILL dosnt work, try as the last thing:

1. Uninstall Windows Defender
2. Restart in safe mode with internet
3. Go to www.sh123.notlong.com
4. There you will be prompted to download a zip file; run it now in safe
mode
5. It will open the DOS window and will take some time to run; the window
will
close itself when it is finished; do not close it. This re-registers
all dll files.
6. Restart
7. Reinstall Defender and check for updates
