After win7sp1 clean install on a new hard drive, Windows Update runs forever - have tried MANY fixes

April 2, 2016

For several days, I have reproduced this problem by starting with a W7Sp1 drive and also start with a considerably older drive of W7.  The old installation of W7 is going very well, first run of WUpdate receives a few fixes, apply and restart.  Rerun WUpdate and she finds Sp1.  Installation of Sp1.  Rerun Wupdate and it says to upgrade to a new Wupdate.

After the SP1 update and the new windows update, this system offers the same WUpdate symptoms as if from the W7Sp1 disk.  Immediately after the installation of the drive, run the wupdate.  He said: it must be updated to a new Wupdate.

(PS in each Installer Win7, I authenticated the product key and activated windows.)

After that, Windows Update never runs you want fixed.  (Left running 10 hours overnight).

(NO OTHER programs or anything like that is installed after installing Win7 and starting with Windows Update problems).

=============================================================

I found 2 programs: FixitAllUp.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 - downloading "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run". (Chasing a "minimal boot"). The last time I have raced, he said if found 2 problems, but only fixed a.  I hit the button Details where he says that he finds the same 2 problems and fixed them BOTH.  It corrects "Missing or damaged registration Service" he said: he can't solve 'Installation problems of the recent updates' - but when you hit details it button show both under "green checkmark" FIXED.  (I also tried to run this several times, and he always finds and he said exactly the same thing, as did the first round).

Also have run "WindowsUpdateDiagnostic" downloaded from the microsoft site.  It's the same notes 2 problems and fixed one or both depending on if you are looking the summary or detail.

I read many many cases of a problem that dates back to 2011 and with various assumptions for this problem.

AND YET, Windows Update checks the updates for EVER and EVER.

Help

There is a solution and it works very well...

Windows Update problem (new)

The following procedure applies in the case of installation (reinstall) Windows 7.  It does not apply to a usual, normal day.

I'm afraid that you will do the reinstall again.  Not a terrible penalty to pay.  Usually takes less than an hour.  Then immediately proceed to the next procedure.   It's strange, but it really does work and many people have proved it.

NEVER install anything other than Windows updates until your system is up-to-date.  Once you have the list update, install all together.  Installation of updates in batches is not expedite the process or do better.

  1. Before you begin to re - install, download (32 or 64 bit) KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance and store on a USB
  2. Start and end the re - install Windows 7 SP1
  3. Before that the newly installed system can go online for the first time, Disconnect the computer from the Internet.  This chronology is essential.  The system should NOT have access to the Internet when it starts.
  4. Install KB3083710 and reboot manually.
  5. Install KB3102810 and reboot manually.
  6. Restore the Internet connection, and run Windows Update as usual.
  7. After a few minutes, you should have a lot of updates to download and install.

  • Install Win8 on new HARD drive using disks of recovery on HP Envy M6

    Okay, so I have my hard drive crashed a few months. So, I ordered a set of HP recovery disks. I finally get around to retrieve Win8 on the new HARD drive. However, I follow these instructions and it does NOT work. I get to the Boot Manager and nothing is there - at all. So, I went back to the BIOS and disabled secure boot (just in case). Yet, nothing. After several hours, I dropped...

    Flash forward to today. I have enabled the legacy starts, moved DVD player y up in my order of start and stuck in a Win7 disc, I have here. One immediately recognizes the disc.

    I finally decided to try to install recovery using USB thought which may help. So, I had on my desktop and tried to rip an .iso of the disks. Both PowerISO and IMGBurn rise "IO error" partially through the period of inquiry.

    I'm starting think that the discs are bad... That would not explain why can't I see my optical drive in the Boot Manager however.

    Thoughts?

    It was records. I downloaded a copy of Win8 and it began immediately.

    Ask the manufacturer of your computer, see the documentation or check on
    their web site. Your computer should have come with instructions (and
    You should have followed them) to burn the content of this partition

  • had to install the new hard drive, windows key does not

    My hard drive died in my Inspiron 660. I ordered a new hard drive and a recovery Dell USB key. A recovery key for Windows 8 pro based on my recommended by Dell service tag. I installed the new drive and used the recovery key to install Windows 8 pro. I then used a third-party tool to get the product key from the BIOS. The product key does not work. I wonder if the product key on the BIOS isn't for Windows 8, Windows 8 pro. If so, the wrong recovery key recommended by Dell.

    What should I do to activate Windows successfully?

    Secondly, on my old drive hard, I had upgraded to Windows 10 while he was a free upgrade. How to bring back the free update?

    Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TH1 and TH2 had problems installing specific edition. Your key can be a simple language edition or one with Bing edition and therefore rejected by the installation of the edition of bad media.

    Windows 10 TH2 and later all the windows 8.x and 7 OEM keys are treated as Windows 10 keys. Edition installation specific issues have been fixed with Windows 10 RS1. The file .iso Windows 10 RS1 image is covering several editions. It contains all OEM editions and will automatically collect a key Windows 8/8.1/10 UEFI BIOS OEM System Locked Preinstallation and automatically installs the correct edition of Windows 10:

  • How to install Win7 on new hard drive and still access all the files from the hard drives of previous Vista?

    I currently have a Windows Vista PC. It has two SATA drives, one with the operating system, the one I use for storage.

    I want to buy a new SATA hard drive and install a new copy of Windows 7 top.

    I want to know the steps to follow to do this. My plan is this:

    1. turn the pc power off and open the case.

    2. remove the old hard disks

    3. plug the new empty hard drive

    4. turn on the pc and the insertion of the disc to install to Win7 for DVD-ROM drive

    5. enter in the bios and put the DVD-ROM as first boot device

    6. install win 7 on new hard drive.

    Is this correct?

    Because my next question is important:

    7. Turning off the computer.

    8 reconnect the two old hard drives. New total number of SATA drives connected = three.

    Now when I restart the PC and login to Win 7, it lists two other drives as, for example, D:\ and E:\ readers?

    How can I make this work?

    Thank you very much!

    Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to dual boot. I just want to have the hard drive as the master drive Windows7 and the old two drives as slaves, where I can access files as the pictures and letters.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Well, I would disconnect all drives hard current interns, then connect the new hard drive, reinstall Windows 7, re - attach the old readers as slaves and copy all the data you need to on the disc of Windows 7.

  • Satellite C660 needs new HARD drive - Windows 7

    Hello

    My C660 needs a new hard drive. It came with Windows 7 Home premium pre-installed, and I would like to get back to that.

    If I go to Microsoft to download windows 7 with my product key, it gives an error. I contacted the support Ms. I don't remember what they said, but they could not help, perhaps because it was a version of installed manufacturer?

    So if I get a new hard drive, how can I go back to my previous operating system, Windows 7 Home Premium?

    Help please?

    You can have the previous operating system (recovery image) If you install it using a recovery (DVD or USB) media.
    I assume that you did not create this media recovery in the past, the right?

    If you always use your laptop and pre-installed OS try please create this media using pre-installed recovery media utility. More info on what you can read in the document of the user manuals.
