Unable to Updte Formats or Refresh FNDB

Post by AngelaJean8 »

I attempted to update formats in the MiKTEX 2.9 Maintenance Settings after a new install and received the following error message.
MiKTeX Problem Report
Message: Windows API error 87: The parameter is incorrect.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi,

welcome to the board!

I guess there's still a process of MiKTeX running which blocks the update. End it and try again. See this older thread with the same error message and solution.
