Cannot install updates for Windows 7 SP1
Hello
I tried for awhile now to switch to Windows 10 without luck ( http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_upgrade/windows-7-key-not-recognized/9a66ab9a-819a-4285-9461-64e7528db222?tm=1450545430339&auth=1 ). In the end, I decided to reinstall Windows 7 RTM, install all updates and then upgrade to Windows 10.
Unfortunately, I seem to be impossible to install updates for Windows 7 now. Everything was going fine until Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 installed. After a few mistakes, WU start looking for updates for hours. I've tried everything as suggested here without a bit of luck. In the end, I decided to leave it to search through the night and finally it does find and download updates about 300.
Installation of these updates takes about 4 hours and Windows restarted and tried to configure the new updates, restarted saying once again he could not configure the updates of Windows and it will undo the changes. And it's been like that for over an hour.
So as soon as now I can not even update Windows 7, not to mention the upgrade of Windows 10. Any ideas? I'm sick of the Windows updates, causing problems.
Installation sometimes loads of updates at a time can cause problems. When you access the list of the 300 updates Windows updates to odd day again, deselect all of them and then choose the oldest (for example) 50 and see if they install on their own.
Sometimes do fall off a long list of updates and try to install more small pieces may help them to install.
Is not sure, but its worth a try as a first shot.
(I know what you mean though issues of update.) It makes you wonder what's going on sometimes :-()
If this does not help, is there required failure account error codes?
