Gettinng less updates to Windows Update after formatting Windows

Original title: problem with Windows Update after PC format

Hello, I have Windows 7 x 64 OEM and today I had to format 6 times my PC because of my graphics card.

Problem which is the 5th time that I formatted my PC, WU shows me less up to date than the first time. And in format 6, least of all day.

How can I solve this problem? Thnaks.

Hi Josele69,

Whenever you install a new update, it contains the updates released before. If you will get only the recent updates. When you run windows update, you also receive only for new updates when you're done with the updates offered. This might be a reason you found less updates after formatting windows.

For more information, see the links:

  • Unable to get Windows Update after formatting

    Hi, my computer was not working and decided to format. When I formatted, he reversed himself to XP/SP2. Now I can't get Windows Update to work. I can't update Windows Update, install Microsoft Updates or get updates, not even when I tried to do it from the website. The website shows a couple of updates, but when I try to download/install, it fails.

    It seems I need to update to SP3 to get updates, but when I try this, told me to go to the updates of Windows. And once again. I can't do this, because it does not work. Is there anything I can do to update to SP3 and get my updates?  Thank you

    My computer has been pretty well updated, but now it's back to its native form:

    Windows XP/SP2

    IE6

    Have not reinstalled AV, because the computer is not letting me do

  • Re-insalling updates after formatting

    What happens if I have to format my hard drive and reinstall vista? I'll have to redownload all updates, or can the previous updates be saved announcement re-installed in offline mode?

    When you format the disk hard everything is wiped away.

    You should back up your data, make sure you have copies of your drivers needed for re - install, make sure you have copies of your programs as well as key codes.

    Yes, you will need to download all the updates again. Before reinstalling your software, you must install all the updates and Service Packs.

    If you have an installation disc Vista SP1 already on it, so make sure you have the stand-alone copy SP2 engraved on disk or Flash DRIVE before formatting. Install SP2 before you run Windows updates. http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/dd262148.aspx

    If your Vista disc doesn't have SP1 on it, install SP2 right after SP1 installs.

    This will save you a lot of downlaods between SP1 and SP2.

  • C 200 1 GB Sansa no storage, even after format; Unable to update software

    Hello

    before all sorry for my bad English.

    I have some problems with my sansa c 200 1 GB. Lately, the player had no storage, even if there is no songs on this subject. This problem persisted even after format. I went on the forum and that you try to upgrade the drive with new software (because I think it's a software problem). They wrote, there

    "Hold the record button until the"new hardware is ready to use"rises, and then press the record button."

    It does not, the player is connected to the computer (and does not display 'new hardware is ready for use'). I tried several times but it does not help (a few years ago, I needed a software update and it worked well (so I'm not stupid to push the right buttons); o)

    Thank you for your help,

    Since it is a C200 try to format using the MP3 itself. Go to settings and under settings, choose the format and we'll see what happens.

    Hope this helps.

    Often we see weird behavior as the result of a program of loading during the startup process.

    To solve these, we use the clean boot troubleshooting.

    The following article describes this process:

    Please note that after refine us the cause, it is important that we return to a normal startup and manually delete the startup program.

    We'll do this before uninstalling Service Pack 2.

  • Windows 10 won't install after formatting in the installer from the disc

    Hello

    I tried to install 10 Windows on my MacBook pro 13 ' 2012 with SSD and HDD 10.11.5 running. I followed the procedure step by step with the Bootcamp Assistant for two hard drive. I have my USB Windows 10 install prepared, latest updates of Bootcamp and puppy 35 GB disk. I did this several times and can not get pass the Bootcamp with Windows partition install formatting. Whenever I click Next after format, he says "we couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information see the installation log files".

    I had the same problem, you click on the partition where windows should be installed? Seemed that Windows did not know where to put them.

  • need to reinstall updates after reformat

    I have to go to the cumbersome process of reinstall all updates when I reformat the hard drive of my laptop?

    Lenovo has created three partitions on the hard drive installed. The smallest drive C contains Windows and software pre-installed. And I was told that the C drive should NOT be resized if not the OneKey recovery no longer work. But we are given the D drive which is MUCH bigger to contain all my personal data.

    updates take up a lot of my disk drive of the insignificant C, 19 GB space, which, in the end, let me about 700 MB to work with installing progs more. with do I find n reinstall every single update after reformatting the hard drive or do a system restore point? in this way he doesn't eat any more space in my C drive good?

    If not, grateful if you can advice me how to handle this accordingly.

    Hello Vanity.sha,

    Thanks for your reply.  A new installation of any operating system takes about 2-4 GB of space in the partition & after OneKey recovery on system should have been about 75% of free space available. I think there could be some unwanted files & folders on your system, so try to free the C: drive & then try to deploy the update for Vista.

    In addition, Microsoft & 3rd-party application has the ability to store the program files on all available disks, you can install these applications depending on the free space.

    I hope this helps.
