Windows 7 won't find updates after installing SP1

I recently had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 Pro from the CD. The installation went well not spent, no errors, so I started the process to reinstall all updates. This process went so smoothly up to the installation of SP1. Once SP1 has been reinstalled, I tried to search for updates more (knowing full well there should be more since SP1 was released years ago). But the Windows Update 'search' for updates for hours without saying whether or not more updates are available. Usually, it takes a few moments for the Windows Update tool look up and see if it is or not updates available so I'm not sure what's going on here.

Thinking maybe something when reinstalling Windows 7 had been sloppy, I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 new. Same problem; Once SP1 is re-installed Windows Updater tool can't stop 'research' for updates. No code error doesn't pop up, the system works well, but I know there are several updates out there that need to be added.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Hello DaveRoPA,

1. updating windows is stuck at 0%?

2 sometimes software security installed on the computer in conflict with the download and installation of updates on the computer. Try to turn it off

3  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509997 <--- try="" and="" download="" this="" update="" for="" windows="" 7.="" this="" might="" help="" if="" none="" of="" these="">

Difficulty of method 1:

Press Windows + R. This will get the run dialogue box. Here, type services.msc,

Now, he brings us to all services installed in Windows. These services are listed in alphabetical order. Scroll down and look for: Windows Update Service. Right-click on it and stop it.

Now go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and remove all of its contents. In fact, this is the folder where the downloaded installation files were stored. But because Windows update sucks, they sort of problem with the partially downloaded update files.

Return to services again (as mentioned at the beginning) and this time start the Windows Update Service, right-click on it and select start. Try to update Windows again. It should work this time. (You may have to restart your computer if)

    Please note that after refine us the cause, it is important that we return to a normal startup and manually delete the startup program.

  • I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista

    I have error code 8024200d when you try to update and install SP1 for Vista. I'm currently running Vista Ultimate. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!  Matt

    Matt,

    The 8024200d result code indicates WU_E_UH_NEEDANOTHERDOWNLOAD
    Update Manager did not install the update because it must be downloaded again.
    Suggest you download and Save the complete stand-alone package of Vista SP1.

    Links to the standalone versions are on this page because you validate that the edition of Vista is x 86 (32-bit) or x 64 (64-bit). You can see the architecture of the system of opening in the Panel and next to the search System system type: Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)

    Before attempting to apply the SP1 please consider this information-

    If you choose to install Windows Vista SP1 via the standalone installer available on the Microsoft Download Center, Microsoft recommends that you first check Windows Update and install all drivers in option. Read the Articles in the Knowledge Base 948187 and 948343 for more information.

    Suggest you to create a folder on the root drive (the drive where Windows is installed, usually C:\) and name SP1.
    Move the downloaded Service Pack in the newly created folder.
    Disconnect all the devices, printer, external USB hard drive, etc.

    Then, Configure the system starts in a clean condition
    After you restart the worm as a clean boot, apply SP1.

    If there is still a problem with the installation of SP1, MS offer support chat and free e-mail to "help you to download and install service packs" here-

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  • Windows updates won't find updates for Office or any other Microsoft programs I installed and there is no option to enable it in Windows Update settings.

    OK, so I just had to re - install Windows 7 on my laptop due to a disk failure (Windows 7 Home Premium SP1) and hit a brick wall with trying to turn on Microsoft Updates instead of Windows updates.

    I try to click on the link "Learn more" on the bottom of the page to update on the line "Get updates for other products Microsoft." and it opens just a web page with a graphic telling me to open my Start menu and click on Windows updates.

    Catch 22 is that Windows Update has no options for anything other than Windows. He won't find the updates for the office or any of the other Microsoft programs I installed and there is no option to enable it in Windows Update settings.

    Exactly what I am missing, and where has Microsoft moved the activation of Microsoft Updates page too, because when I click on the link need me to http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/thanks.aspx?ln=en&&thankspage=5 that makes a whole lot of nothing.

  • Windows 7 will be not updated after clean install

    I recently acquired a Vista laptop that I improved with a SSD and Windows 7 Professional.  After installation without incident on a new SSD and activation, I discovered that Win7 does not refresh the console update continues just search for updates and the CPU activity revolves around 50%.  I've linked several fixes on this site and others with no luck.

    I'm not a PC expert, but I (FINALLY) know what caused this problem and how to solve it!  , But first of all note that this is the solution for my WINDOWS 7 64-bit Home Premium just after a clean installation.  I don't know if this plan works for 32-bit systems or other 7s to win, but novel with minor changes and some research...?

    The part of Windows 7 that search updates would normally take 24 to 48 hours to complete his research.  You can tell that you have this problem, while you are waiting for the update search by CTRL-ALT-DEL, start the Task Manager, then watch TAB PROCESS, then click: show processes from all users.  Look down the list until you find a SVCHOST. EXE running by the SYSTEM which uses 50% or more of CPU and a large piece (73%) of memory.  Then, go to the window Windows Update of the control panel and it say to never look updates.  Then return to the Task Manager and KILL the big 50% fat process that you just found.

    MS produced a patch (patches of 2 k) that you can't normally without an update.  There is a way to download these files from 2 k, but then...

    You cannot install them normally without using WUSA (the stand-alone installation of Windows Update program).  And if you try to use it to install the patches, WUSA must begin a new search for 48 hours for updates before installing anything.  It is a circular trap!

    Click on the following link to download Windows6. 1 KB3102810-x 64.msu

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=50023

    Use the registration option, DO NOT RUN IT!

    Look for these two files in your DOWNLOADS folder.  Copy them to your DESKTOP.

    Now to install them, you must use the stand-alone Installer, WUSA, BUT you must FORCE IT to do quite simply without looking for always.  Here's how:

    First of all, copy the following line exactly and completely:

    'C:\Users\Edmund\Desktop\windows6.1-kb3102810-x64.msu' /wuforce

    Click the start planet;

    Click in the search programs and files;

    Type: RUN

    (Make sure that you run as administrator)

    Click on the RACE to the top of the page, then right click on it and select PASTE;

    Replace Edmund regardless of your username;

    Press ENTER and let it roll.  After the installation is done, then...

    Copy the following line exactly:

    'C:\Users\Edmund\Desktop\windows6.1-kb3112343-x64.msu' /wuforce

    Click the start planet;

    Click in the search programs and files;

    Type: RUN

    (Make sure that you run as administrator)

    Click on the RACE to the top of the page, then right click on it and select PASTE;

    Replace Edmund regardless of your username;

    Press ENTER and let roll again.  Once the installation is complete, RESTART your computer.

    You should now be able to install the updates in the control panel and search for updates.  10 minutes or less, you should have a huge list of KBs to download and install.

  • No update Windows after installing SP1

    I have several machines I restore for friends, but I'm having a problem with the updates of windows 7. I can receive and install updates all the way up to and including SP1, but once SP1 is installed, no updates more don't get down. I left the verification of updates running for several hours without success. It just continues to spin, I get no message not to say no update available. I tried a couple of fix Microsoft, that's without success either. Is this a problem on the end of Microsoft or is there something I am doing wrong. All laptops are genuine with the license codes, and Internet works fine. If anyone has any ideas or experience with what I would be grateful.
