Windows 7 update runs forever

• Windows 7 Check for Updates runs forever and gets nothing

  I have good internet connection and any other program can download and upload.

  I had a service technician install Windows 10 (had updated Windows 7 and computer Note: ok for upgrading), which was a very early version.  This Windows 10 would not get either any upgrade.  So I went back to the factory installed Windows 7 (Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 of 2011 time period, I bought computer in August 2011).  This is where I am now and receive no updates.

  Before installing Windows 10 I've done several reverts to the original version of Windows 7 installed in the factory and then updated without problem.

  What could be the problem now?  Windows 10 has done something?  Thanks for any help.

  The return of Win10 process often fails to properly Win7.  Do this restore to factory again.  Then, after the re - install go here to find out how to start Windows updates.  I know it works.  I do it every day and we just started today.

• Windows Update, run forever

  When I run windows update, it always works without result.  I actually ran it for 12 hours without interruption.  She was still ongoing after 12 hours.  This all started when I installed Microsoft Office last December.  I have not had an update since then with the exception of service Pack1 which I installed it manually.  How can I solve this problem?

• After win7sp1 clean install on a new hard drive, Windows Update runs forever - have tried MANY fixes

  April 2, 2016

  For several days, I have reproduced this problem by starting with a W7Sp1 drive and also start with a considerably older drive of W7.  The old installation of W7 is going very well, first run of WUpdate receives a few fixes, apply and restart.  Rerun WUpdate and she finds Sp1.  Installation of Sp1.  Rerun Wupdate and it says to upgrade to a new Wupdate.

  After the SP1 update and the new windows update, this system offers the same WUpdate symptoms as if from the W7Sp1 disk.  Immediately after the installation of the drive, run the wupdate.  He said: it must be updated to a new Wupdate.

  (PS in each Installer Win7, I authenticated the product key and activated windows.)

  After that, Windows Update never runs you want fixed.  (Left running 10 hours overnight).

  (NO OTHER programs or anything like that is installed after installing Win7 and starting with Windows Update problems).

  =============================================================

  I found 2 programs: FixitAllUp.

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 - downloading "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run". (Chasing a "minimal boot"). The last time I have raced, he said if found 2 problems, but only fixed a.  I hit the button Details where he says that he finds the same 2 problems and fixed them BOTH.  It corrects "Missing or damaged registration Service" he said: he can't solve 'Installation problems of the recent updates' - but when you hit details it button show both under "green checkmark" FIXED.  (I also tried to run this several times, and he always finds and he said exactly the same thing, as did the first round).

  Also have run "WindowsUpdateDiagnostic" downloaded from the microsoft site.  It's the same notes 2 problems and fixed one or both depending on if you are looking the summary or detail.

  I read many many cases of a problem that dates back to 2011 and with various assumptions for this problem.

  AND YET, Windows Update checks the updates for EVER and EVER.

  There is a solution and it works very well...

  Windows Update problem (new)

  The following procedure applies in the case of installation (reinstall) Windows 7.  It does not apply to a usual, normal day.

  I'm afraid that you will do the reinstall again.  Not a terrible penalty to pay.  Usually takes less than an hour.  Then immediately proceed to the next procedure.   It's strange, but it really does work and many people have proved it.

  NEVER install anything other than Windows updates until your system is up-to-date.  Once you have the list update, install all together.  Installation of updates in batches is not expedite the process or do better.

  1. Before you begin to re - install, download (32 or 64 bit) KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance and store on a USB
  2. Start and end the re - install Windows 7 SP1
  3. Before that the newly installed system can go online for the first time, Disconnect the computer from the Internet.  This chronology is essential.  The system should NOT have access to the Internet when it starts.
  4. Install KB3083710 and reboot manually.
  5. Install KB3102810 and reboot manually.
  6. Restore the Internet connection, and run Windows Update as usual.
  7. After a few minutes, you should have a lot of updates to download and install.

• Windows 7, updates takes forever

  OK, so I recently bought a computer. It is refurbished and I tried to upgrade to Windows 10 because it is Windows 7 and I love the way Windows 10 looks. in any case I order to get Windows 10 I check for updates and I did and waited a few hours and it maintains simply check it says that he has never checked for updates of what it means it will take a long time so he could check or is there something wrong please help if anyone can.

  You may need to wait 24 hours or so that the updates of Windows 7 these days is very slow to download.

  A better way is to use the media tool to upgrade:

  Download Windows 10 media creation tool

  Simply select this option of PC/improvement.

  After you download the Windows 10 installation files using this tool, you can upgrade your existing 10 Windows operating system, or you can create the bootable USB drive or DVD to install Windows 10 key later. You can also save the installation files to the ISO in offline mode file format, if you wish.

  

• I can not open hotmail attachments (updated Automatic Windows Vista, IE8, activated and updated running).

  I have a new HP computer and I can not open hotmail attachments (updated Automatic Windows Vista, IE8, activated and updated running).  When you try to open an attachment, the bar downstairs quickly moves to the right, but never appears a dialog box asking if you want to open or save the file.  Error message I get when I try to resolve it with the suggested steps indicates "module"wintrust.dll"was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.  I tried to do the same command prompt, but still not received the same error.  Thanks for help anything.

  Hi Paul,.

  Have you tried to download an attachment after you turn off your antivirus?
  I had a problem in the past where the system was performed at Trend Micro Internet Security and Web content filtering (I think that's what it was called) was preventing attachments from download.
  I would like to know what are your results!

• Check for updates takes forever, download runs and runs and does not complete

  I am running Windows 7 Premium family with Service Pack 1. Verification of updates runs for hours and sometimes he can't find anything. I ran it last night 29/08/2016 and it took 8 hours to complete. I chose a download of only 75kb and it worked for four hours (0 KB and 0% complete) 30/08/2016. Last updates were installed with success was the 28/08/2016 21:18, since then these are the problems that I had with.  Is the best thing to (restore to an earlier point in time) or remove the installed updates? Is there something I otherwise should I do to correct this situation. I seem to be other problems. Appreciate any help.

• Windows Update runs continuously after the installation/purchase program for Dell Latitude E6530 with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  Hello

  I bought a Dell Latitude E6530 'renovated', that was the end of the lease. (It was not defective). I started up and installed Dell help. I have had no trouble to do a few minor update of drivers. However, when I try to update Windows it just runs and.

  I checked the Windows Update with the troubleshooting Diagnostic Utility. I made sure that there is no infection or rootkits on your computer. I followed several suggestions I found the title of Microsoft Support positions and renamed the folder of Distribution system, as well as a few things of the reset. I have register/authenticate online with Microsoft Windows software.

  When I run the troubleshooter, it says registration for the Service is missing or damaged, and he said it suits him, but he can't solve "problems installation of recent updates. However, when I run it again, it is said that he correct once again.

  Any suggestions?

• Can I update to 10 32-bit of Windows if I run Windows 7Pro 64-bit?

  I trust currently some fairly old legacy 16-bit software and I can run on 7 Pro x 64 with XPMode - a bit of a pain, but it is essential software, so I do what I do...

  I had someone test install and it works on their Windows 10... they have x 64 processor and run x 86 windows 10... other than having to change the default installation locations, it works very well.

  My question is, if I have a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Pro installed on my laptop, when I'll update Windows 10, can I choose to install a 32-bit version?  And if I can't, will x 64 run 16-bit software?

  Help!

  Can I update to 10 32-bit of Windows if I run Windows 7Pro 64-bit?

  No, at least not directly.  To do this (to change your number of bits), you need to wipe your drive and reinstall the new type-bit Windows you want.  But you also have to do the upgrade directly from Windows 7, if you want Windows 10 to be free.  So, here's what to do:

  1. be sure to save all the files you want to keep and have your ready installers for your additional programs, you'll want to install again.

  2 - pass from 7 to 10.  You will stay on 64-bit.

  3 activate Windows so that he knows that this computer is allowed for the 10 free.

  4 - Download the Windows 10 Installer to a port USB or CD and use it to clean install 10 Windows (32 bit this time)

  Another option would be to retain the 64-bit, but start your 16-bit on a Hyper-v virtual machine software.  Best of both worlds and you will have to use more memory since 64-bit allows you to use more than about 3 GB of RAM.
