What, no new update for Win 7?

I checked my wife's Win7/64 computer and found that he had had no OS updates since March this year.  He was updating Security Essentials, but nothing else.  A manual Windows Update command shows the usual Panel, but the green bar just analyzes and scans, for hours.

I read that make a "standalone updater" update would fix this right, so I downloaded and executed Windows6. 1 KB3172605-x 64.msu.  He began and said he was "looking for updates on this computer... "but was done for well over an hour now.

What is plan B, anyone?

The value "never search updates" automatic updates, restart and run KB3172605. :)

  • New update for Win 7 32 - bit XP - Windows Update will not, so have to do manual updates - that need me?

    I updated from XP to 7 Edition Home Premium in mid-March and have tried since then to run Windows Update, but I get the ubiquitous endless "check updates". I spent hours trying all of the fixes I could find (and understand) with no luck. So I decided to just manually download at least the critical updates, but I have no idea of what updates I need. I have Service Pack 1 and my system is 32-bit. I have 13 updates installed that I downloaded and installed in March because they seemed like it might be useful (I don't remember what most of them were for the moment), but I stopped here because I really didn't know what I was doing, or what I needed and I went back to try to fix Windows Update , but I gave that up. So, does anyone have a list of updates I should keep Windows 7 works correctly? Or should I say to hell with it and download Windows 10? I know my time is short if this is my best option. Any thoughts, advice, ideas, help welcome.

    It is not too hard to do. The value of the automatic updates to "never check updates" and then restart Windows. Download and install KB3020369 and KB3161608.

  • Satellite L300 - where can I order CDs of update for Win 7

    Hi all

    I find my Vista starts so long time, about five minutes, and now I want to upgrade to win 7,.
    Where can I order the CD Update for win 7 from the Toshiba site. Thank you

    Hello

    You cannot order this disk from Toshiba.
    You can order just a recovery disk. But if you laptop came with Vista, then the recovery disk contains the Vista OS and not Win 7.

    If you want to use Win 7, you can buy this OS and then you could install it on the laptop. Win 7 drivers should be available on the European driver page
