Since July 16 failed the Windows update. Every day Windows attempts to install updates every day it fails. Error code is 80073701. CBS.zip is too large, therefore, via this link: https://www.sendspace.com/file/wewb9x I have added a copy of the update history. It's in Dutch: Mislukt means failed. Voltooid means Successfull

Hi, I'm trying to apply the update KB3020369 but it always gives me the error 80073712. I tried to fix it with the Fixit tool from Windows and the System Update Readiness tool but they didn't solve the problem. I have also used the System File Checker to repair damaged Windows files (the first time I used it, it found an error > CBS.log, the last time it didn't find anything). I...

Windows Update using over a GB of RAM constantly

First off let me say that I do have a large backlog of updates (upwards of 96) that I haven't done. Reasons for not doing them include not needing to, not wanting to, and just the idea of one of them having or doing something I don't want. I've noticed for quite a while now when I boot up my computer and when the 'delayed start' services kick in, Windows Update is the one that takes all my...

In the last two days I have received about 15+ updates (2 different batches) from Microsoft...?...(jpg attached) this is quite unusual ? Is this connected in any way with the upcoming upgrade to Win 10 ? I have not received the upgrade on this machine yet...but another Win 7 Pro machine in the house had it right on after the 10 upgrade started shipping ? Thanks...TiminAz

Yesterday's patch Tuesday Updates offered KB3072305, which is described as an important security update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 (*not* "3.5.1 and above"). Why would this be offered to me when the only version I have listed in Program and Features is 4.5.2? I applied the update, but I am still wondering about this. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I've been stuck on trying to upgrade to Windows 10. I am currently using a OEM Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, HP Pavilion dv6 laptop.

Why is KB3068708 now a IE11 perquisite ?

I'm getting mixed feedback on this from various sources as to what KB3068708 actually does in a Win7 system some say it contains a lot of updated system files and is mostly harmless in Win7 and should be installed, though the Win8 version is pure telemetry. The last time I installed IE11 manually and it's previous perquisites (2 days ago) there was no mention of needing KB3068708 however today...

Afterwards I notice that there are still a number of entries in the registry for GWX and a few file directories pertaining to GWX that I cant delete.
