Unfortunately, important updates and selection of optional to install updates gives no information.
Windows Update, you can click on the links "# important updates are available" and "optional updates # are available.
But since I had a few problems with an update some time ago a got help from MS to sort I don't get no information on updates by following these links and the design of the window is not the same as it used to be.
Usually there will be a list updates available with code update as "(K477415)" or similar. Now, however, all I see is an empty box with 2 tabs to the left saying Important and optional. The two tabs are clickable, but nothing happens... no list of the updates available on one of them even if he states clearly he doesn't are updates available in both categories.
The only thing I can do is have the update then browse the updates, they are in the section of installed updates and selected those to uninstall. Or simply not install one of them. I can't select or deselect updated as to control those to install because they are not included.
It seems that windows updates is screwed

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
Click on drive Options
Select the disc/s click on Delete
Click new
Click on apply
Click OK
Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation
Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

Please notify.The two suggested solutions were things that I had already tried without success.
Finally, what works after much trial and error:
1 back up all my favorites.
2 uninstall Firefox.
3 reinstall Firefox but important! not begin immediately after installation!
4. run firefox.exe Pei from the command window.
5. in the Profile Manager, delete all the existing profiles and create a new.
6. start Firefox, import bookmarks and set the options.The options will now be saved!

important updates for Windows 7 and windows 10
In the optional updates, I've disabled windows 10. For important updates, I checked several updates security for windows 7 (updates are October; there are updates 42 total now). I click ok and then download. The next screen that appears includes "Download windows 10 get installation files." I canceled the update. The message on the screen that results is "some updates were not installed cancelled 2 updates. He has also "two important updates selected." When I click on "Try again", windows download 10 configuration files will reappear. I chose a small update to see if the file would actually download and the next screen is the screen with the message Windows 10.
What is happening with the update windows 7 security and other files?
How can I get downloads important and not on the Windows 10?
Why they made system keeping trying to download windows 10 although I unchecked the box for it in the optional updates?
Searching for updates is also a question as the guard just wheel spinning. Is something to do with updates for windows 7 and 8?
You are replying to a thread that is almost a year. Many things has changed.
I recommend you just go about it:

Try to install 4 ' important'updates on Windows Vista and get error codes: 80070641, who has had a lot of answers posted but none does not seem to work and I tried to install this upgrade for the last 6 months! (I did one where you made sure something is running in the Control Panel, but it works just not - I HATE Vista!)
Now just got a new error code: 6 to 8.
The updates, I can't update (!) are:
- SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 4
- Update of security for MSOffice 2007 System
- Update for MS 2007 Office system
- Update for MSOffice Outlook 2007 Junk email filter

Thanks in advance
