Windows 7 update function

Hello

I have problems with the function of Windows 7 update because it keeps hanging / freezing all the time when looking for updates. I've been to other sites for help and took advice such as the download of the Windows Update troubleshooting tool and install the latest version of the Agent to update without success.  The last successful update check was conducted on 22/02/2016, which resulted in the installed updates (part 2). I would have thought that it would be quite a few updates since February.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (x 64) on a laptop Dell Latitude E4300 used with 3 GB of memory and an Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU P9600 @2. 53 GHz GHz 2.54.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions on how I can solve this problem.

If please see this thread and follow the instructions exactly.  I have successfully used this procedure on more than one PC.  You can re-enable the automatic updates after that update works again.

  • How can I stop including windows xp update?

    Hi friends,

    How can I stop including windows XP update? Because I need to stop the update audio driver Conexant HD, if this update install in my laptop, then leave my audio device is stop working. Does anyone know how to block a specific update while

    by allowing automatic updates to function normally?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Updates of pilot - which you should never accept Windows Update (for XP) - are "optional" and do not install automatically.

    You can also set Windows Update to download but not install updates (until you look over and decide which ones to install) or to inform you that updates are available.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525/en-us

    And if you don't want to be constantly offered a particular optional update, simply check the box for ": hide this update" (or "don't show me this update again") - http://z8.invisionfree.com/ComputerHelp/index.php?showtopic=676

  • No sound in Vista after Windows auto updates

    Set to automatic update ran all night. No sound afterwards. I uninstalled the driver realtek audio, downloaded the driver and reinstalled, updated the driver through Device Manager, run 2 windows related to the sound, his fix and still nothing. Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning properly. I can adjust the volume, but it makes no difference.  I have no alerts related to sound, no red x, no yellow triangles, just NO SOUND!

    Hello

    And go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > looking for drivers and downloads Section > equip your laptop computer model number > find your operating system > download and install the drivers etc you will find Audio.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

    'Remove an update'

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

  • Problems with Microsoft in Windows 7 updates

    Somewhere in the middle of July 2015, I noticed that I had not updated Microsoft program for several weeks.  I use Windows 7 (which was installed in my computer when I bought it in 2012).    I checked the last update, I had received and it was July 9, 2015.  I checked to make sure that I had selected automatic update function.   I called and spoke to a young woman with Microsoft, and she tried to find the problem.  She worked with my computer for more than two hours and could not find what was wrong.  She wanted to return to a more experienced technician, but I rejected this idea.  I've tried everything I can think and have talked with friends, and no one has had this problem.  My son tried for several hours to fix it and finally said: I might have a virus.  So I went to the Windows Update page, where there is information on the updates where he says: "check updates for your computer: NEVER.  and "last check updates: NEVER.»   I certainly did not insert these Nevers.  I have always used the automatic update choice.  Someone knows a problem like this?

    I look after about 150 computers to Windows 7.  11 of them could not perform updates of Windows to cycle this month of September.

    Windows Update is a constant problem since Microsoft Windows 10 has triggered.  In my opinion, they use the same resources to feed these adverse to a large measure 5 gigabyte W10 files as they do for your updates.  Their priority is W10, and as a result the service is very poor.  In some cases, updates have sat there churning for more than a day before finally closing.

    I'll give you some tips on antivirus software.  I recommend that first of all make sure you have a clean uninfected system with good protection.

    If after following these steps, you still have a problem, come back here and I will offer much more advice.  I learned a lot from these 11 fixing computers.

    First download and run ADWcleaner https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/

    This is a great, free, scanner not antivirus software.

    Do not use any product that claims to make your computer run better.  Almost all of them are either false, themselves, an infection, or put your computer at risk. Delete everything that claims to be there to prevent the infections or pretends to make your computer work better, except for the singular than an antivirus product.

    It is a controversial topic, but your choice of AV software may be something you want to take a 2nd look.  I suggest you visit this website to get an idea of what AV software made the best work, depending on what type of user you are: http://www.av-comparatives.org/ is a non-profit that has been around for a long time and I hope that their results.

    When you interpret these results, remember the difference between a product that detects 95% and the other 99% of infections, it is actually 5 times more likely to allow an infection.

    I pick up after about 150 Windows PCs and I have more than 13 years.  Until last September, the only AV software that I would allow my clients to use was Norton Antivirus.  Note that this is not the same as any other product, Norton 360 or Internet Security.  My clients rarely know infections.

    Last September, Symantec (Norton owner) decided to no longer sell such a product.  After much research, I decided on Bitdefender Antivirus 2015 +.  I installed it on most of these PCs to date and has never been a problem, and it has been on a course of 12 months now...  It is a better product than Norton.  It is also cheap. One of the things I love the most about it, is the silence and discretion.  Especially if silenced you its function "portfolio".

    My customers know that if they install any product of 'Internet Security', I won't work on their computers until it is deleted.  Very well, I learned the hard way that other components of these products (other than the AV itself) IS causing more problems than any profit that they bring and work mainly by stopping the Windows component that does a very good job of this particular task still.  The problem is that when I started to work on a computer with an IS on it, I could spend hours trying to diagnose the problem, only to find out that by taking the product of the IS, the problems have become much clearer and easier to solve.  I think that the product of the IS actually hides the problem.

    As I said, this is a controversial topic and you will find many different very strong opinions.  I know that mine is based on a fairly large sample over a long period, and are consumers of consumer type Windows.

    Please note.  You should never have more than one protection software installed.  Always make sure that you completely remove the firmware all protection before installing a new one.  That contains software that may have come preinstalled on your computer when it's new

    Totally impossible to delete most of all AV software simply by using the standard uninstallation tool Windows 7.  Most of the majors also publishes a "removal tool" that gets the rest.  If you do not completely remove it, it will cause very hard to understand and diagnose problems.

  • 27 - 1110ea: Windows 7 update does not update

    Hello

    I did now 2 installs fresh with the HP recovery discs and both windows update does not work. I tried different patches from microsoft that I found online in this regard and nothing works.

    I don't know if it's related, but said SP1 is installed, but when I look in the installed updates it isn't here. If I try to uninstall from a command promt it says is not installed and if I try to install it from the microsoft download it says it is installed.

    It makes me crazy. I was expecting it to work from a clean install, but it doesn't.

    Any help would be great.

    Hello

    Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting.

    If it says SP1 is included, it means it is included and comes with the system, so you can not unintall it - it is part of the system - built in. You will not see the updates installed because it's built, do not subsequently installed.

    It is a known problem that now when you perform a clean installation of Windows 7, the installation updates will be delayed. This is due because of many things including the fact that W7 is more priority Microsoft because of new OS on the juice of the horizon: like Windows 10. Some users have reported that after the new facility it may take hours of waiting until Windows 7 poster updates are available. But don't worry - they are not that critics and you shouldn't worry so much for them.

    I can offer a workaround is to:

    -Windows 7 update agent be manually updated to the latest version > > https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/949104

    -Download directly from MS "April 2015 battery maintenance update" and install it manually

    > > https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3020369

    -Download Win 7 convenience roll update and install it manually

    This update package, which combines updates dating all the way back to February 2011, is not be made available in Windows Update. If you install a Windows 7 system from scratch, you will need to go out of your way to download and install it. If you do not, Windows Update will download and install the updated way on day one by one, the slower, more tedious.

    You have now all the updates of Windows 7 since its initial release until may 2016

    After that, you try to install the new updates.

    I hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes.
