Hi, I deleted all the contents from the C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution/Download folder after I got daily failed updates for Windows 10 that I never asked for (at the recommendation of my computer store). Then I read about the possibility of this causing problems with synchronization of installed updates and history and I restored the files from my trashcan but I'm still facing issues....

Hello, Today I made a format and a clean install on my Laptop puting the same Windows as always in this device, that is the Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. The first thing I made after Windows installation finished, is to check for updates. The loading bar was loading for about 15 minutes without any result, so I decided to make a Windows reastart. After the restart, and after I gave 20 minutes of...

Anyone tried this method? The website is here: Code: --------- https://www.raymond.cc/blog/create-an-integrated-up-to-date-windows-7-install-disc/view-all/ --------- Seems like it could be a good idea, especially now that MS won't (apparently) be offering any more updates for W7. Comments?

Hi everyone. I've been reading up on Microsofts licensing schemes and I thought I understood them, but now I have a situation that I don't quite understand and I could use some help. So I got my hands on a used Dell PC that had a Windows 7 Pro 64bit COA sticker key on it. I also received the installation DVDs with the setup. I thought that this type of setup falls in the OEM licensing scheme and...

To install or uninstall ??? BK3101746 has locked-up and crashed a couple people; I'd rather be safe now than sorry later on. I just recovered from a inexplicable blue screen. I'm also aware that automatic updates can cause problems, so now I have a list of hidden updates uninstalled until I'm sure. I'm operating Windows 7 Home Premium and I'm trying to clean my updates, useless stuff I don't...

This issue started this past Saturday (Dec 12, 2015) Per Windows Update Posting instructions: 1. Downloaded SURT. When first tried to download SURT on Saturday, it would not download. But, when tried again yesterday (Sun, Dec 13) - it was successful. However, although it said the installation of 9847821 was successful and it showed up in Update History, it did NOT show up in Installed Updates....

Windows update checks for updates for hours without any actions

I did a fresh install of Win7 Ultimate x64 and after WU found the SP1 update, applied it, and rebooted, it no longer seems to be working. What it does: "Checking for updates..." runs for hours (over 3 now) without continuing. If I look in my task manager, svchost.exe has a Commit size of 2,020,309K and is taking 100% of one of the cores.

I have an OEM installation disc of Windows 7 from CyberPowerPC that includes Windows 7 Home, Pro, and Ultimate. I have an OEM key for Windows 7 Pro (since that is the only OEM version of Windows 7 Microsoft allows for new PCs any more). My question is, if I purchase a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Ultimate - retail version - can the product key be used to activate an OEM installation of...

Hi all, My ultimate goal is to install the Windows 7 Platform update which right now fails. SFC /scannow reports corrupt files unable to fix. WindowsUpdateDiagnostic tool, it reports Update error 80073712 as not fixed. I also run the system upgrade readiness tool. The logs indicate a problem with the XPS files (which can't be repaired due to missing manifests). Disabling XPS in 'Turn...

I am losing my mind on this error. See here's pretty much the rundown as I have been working on this since 7pm last night and its now 6am as I am writing this. Ok so I had to downgrade from Windows 10 back to 7 because its not stable with my computer build and 7 is. So I did just that, popped in my win 7 disc and made a fresh clean install. Get to the desktop and start setting everything up...

This post is just in regards to KB3093594. I know it is not delivered thru WU, but it is a MS recommended fix. As this update has proven to cause problems (mostly with Calendar in WLM), the suggestion by many is to not install it and wait for MS to fix it. I do not want to get into rehashing what has already been discussed in other threads on this (pleeeeez, pleeez, pleez, pleeez). I...

I downloaded windows 10 but did not like it. I uninstalled it. Now I am getting messages that I need to update various features in Windows 7. I highlight those I wish to update but every time the original windows 10 download appears on the list. I am told that the updates for windows 7 are vital and my computer is at risk but I cannot do these updates because Windows 10 appears as an optional...

Windows Update never finishes checking for updates

Hello everyone! This is my first post :) At some point my Windows Update started to take forever when checking for updates. I don't know why. So I decided to re-install Windows 7 (Ultimate 32-bits edition on my DELL Dimension 9150) to see if this could get fixed. My HDD is partitioned so before installed I formatted the partition with diskpart (NOT a quick format, took long but I thought...
