Windows Update is not working on Windows 7 SP1
I am running Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium on an HP Pavilion laptop g6 (AMD quad-core).
I did the updates of Windows 15/07/12 and 'last ' check updates 22/07/12.
The computer is not used for a few years. So there is no change.
Now go to Control Panel Windows Update Check for Updates runs forever without doing anything. He pretended to look for updates.
I tried to start and stop services, deleting files, changing startup, run Windows Update Diagnostic (problems of finding several times and so-called fixation), preparation tool update running system (looking for updates on this computer for always doing nothing), turn off internet security and I have probably forgotten some things.
While trying different things from the prompt as administrator, the REN command failed: access is denied.
I just missed the free update of Windows 10 ended 07/29/16. It seems that Windows is not allowing updates (flaws security potentially bad) to charge $120 for 10 Windows me.
How to start Windows Update find updates again? Besides how do system update readiness tool actually install and run?
Windows 7 update problems? First read this.

Windows Update does not work after load Win7 SP1 Ultimate OS fresh 800700E err
Hello
This has never happened to me, but I've just loaded Win7 Ultimate SP1 on a laptop, active. I can't get any Wu at all!
I do not have the additional languages, I tried the troubleshooter of WU (a few times now), I tried to stop services: msiserver, ad etc., BITS and wuauserv and then rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.old and do the same thing to catroot2 in \windows\system32.
I installed IE11 and it appeared to install its own updates, but beyond that, I have been unable to execute WU...
Deflectors - someone can suggest good link on hidden files in C:\ which WU to work?
If anyone has any ideas in advance thanks

Windows Update does not work. No error message.
Laptop HP G662 running under Windows 7 64-bit:
Despite linking all the troubleshooting tips web that I can find my Windows Update will not work and did not work because I replaced my hard drive about a year or two ago. No error message appears.
I don't know what software / driver download for this problem. Can you help me? Peter.
Hi Peter
I did some research and found out there are a few prerequisite updates that may be required for installation of Internet Explorer 11. This Microsoft Support link has the list and downloads for the required updates.

I am running Windows 7 and noticed that Windows updates did not work. The parameters are defined for the update every day. When I went to update manually returned an error WindowsUpdate_80070017. MSFT site was no help. Any recommendations?
Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.
That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).
Good luck!

Hi Otto Willemsen,.
Method 1:

Method 2:
If you still experience the problem, then you should check if an upgrade in Place of the operating system can help you solve the problem. Upgrade on the spot is a repair of the operating system installation. You can perform the upgrade on the spot if you have disks of Windows Vista retail.
Note: Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer. However, before you perform an Inplace upgrade, you can take a backup of important data. In case of a worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall all the programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or other external storage devices before performing an upgrade on the spot.
For more information, please see the link:
After the Inplace upgrade, you must activate your copy of Windows Vista.
For more information, see the following article:
