Windows updates after reinstall...

I had to reinstall Windows 7 and now is wanting to download 132 updates of Windows. I think that some updates caused problems initially, then how do I know which I should or should not install?

Hello

If you have problems with Windows updates, it's trial and error refers to the 'problem' those.

This should help you:

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

You only get the latest drivers for them on the site of the manufacturer of the computer or piece of hardware, as Microsoft does normally or 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 one at a time, until you find the 'problem' for your configuration.

If you're still worried about that, you can try to install the 'x' number of updates at the same time reduce the chances of having to find a 'problem' update...

But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

See you soon.

  • Gettinng less updates to Windows Update after formatting Windows

    Original title: problem with Windows Update after PC format

    Hello, I have Windows 7 x 64 OEM and today I had to format 6 times my PC because of my graphics card.

    Problem which is the 5th time that I formatted my PC, WU shows me less up to date than the first time. And in format 6, least of all day.

    How can I solve this problem? Thnaks.

    Hi Josele69,

    Whenever you install a new update, it contains the updates released before. If you will get only the recent updates. When you run windows update, you also receive only for new updates when you're done with the updates offered. This might be a reason you found less updates after formatting windows.

  • Impossible to update after reinstalling Windows 7

    I have a computer Dell XPS 8300. When I bought the computer I bought a reinstall of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit DVD with key code. I upgraded the computer to Windows 10, but repeated difficulties experienced with the installation of the updates. The last update, I have installed produces a blank screen on the computer. I decided to replace the two hard drives in this computer with the 1 TB SSD.   I replaced the drive and reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate. Everything except the Windows Update works fine. I'm unable to update this computer.  When I click on update Windows I get update with scrolling green picture screen in the toolbar icons, but nothing happens.  I'm not worried reinstalling Windows 10, given the problems that I had.  Dell says that this computer has not been tested for compatibility with Windows 10.

    I was surprised that Windows 7 has made request not to be activated after installation.  I right click the Start button in Windows and selected properties, but there was no indication that I need activate this version of Windows 7.  I have the key code and I did not change the motherboard. I don't understand why the Windows Update program does not work, or what I can do to solve the problem. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I was unable to activate Windows 7.  I tried the Windows 7 update problems difficulty in the Windows Control Panel without success. Someone at - it solutions to this problem? Thank you for your help.

  • Extremely slow/unnecessary Windows Update after system recovery.

    Hello

    While trying to help a friend with her laptop, I encountered a small problem, which seems quite unique. After searching the ' net and the Knowledge Base, I'm about as clued in as when I started, that is to say not very.

    Machine: Satellite 1800 412 (Danish).

    DID: Restore the system to zero back to XP SP1a (NSP).

    Problem: After a complete system via the original recovery CD restore, Windows Update is running * extremely * slowly, or not at all, once it gets to the point where it scans for updates you need. So far, I've managed to get 1 downloaded an update, a little. As an update is attempted usage of the processor reaches a maximum at 100% and stay there until I abandon and hard restarts, since the machine is now almost useless and lazy point appear frozen.

    Tried to: applied manually different updates downloaded directly from Microsoft, such as Internet Explorer 6 sp1, XP SP2 (DK), various updates and patches for XP downloaded and checked/tried to reinstall the drivers of Toshiba (they are updated). Verify that the systems boots properly with all recognized devices. Check the system clock. Searched the Toshiba KB, searched the Internet, searched the Toshiba support forum. Pulls hair in desperation. I have to have restored the system 4times intant to try different ways of patching the system with updates.

    Special features: It is apparently * only * updated Windows, what causes this problem, and that after the first few, where he updates the Windows Update engine in Internet Explorer. Before that I'm trying to update the machine apparently functioning normally. I can surf, download, install and run programs and what not. (No, I did not visit suspicious websites.) If Windows Update runs automatically in the background / 'in the status bar', the same thing is happening: Machine suddenly becomes useless and stays that way.

    The machine is on a local network behind one bulletproof OpenBSD firewall, no other Windows machines inside, so there is no chance of a quick infection of the network at the origin of the problem.

    Unfortunately: Manually download and apply the patches aren't an option I want to activate the automatic updates before you return the machine back to its owner.

    Hope some of you might have an answer to this one, because I have never known or heard of something similar before.

    Frank.

    Hello
