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

    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.

  • 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.
