I am using a Z170 Classy K and Windows 7 64 Bit Pro OEM

 

I heard that there was a problem that caused the "Windows Update" search to take a really long time. But I also heard that there was a update that you can manually install to stop this problem.

 

Does anyone know the update?

Also is it safe to install this update first before all the others?

Check this link:

It contains a guide that solved that problem for me.

YOu should DL a package that holds all updates since SP1, winfuture.de has them ( at least for german language ).

 

- Disable AUTO-UPDATE in cpanel

- unplugg from network

- REBOOT

--> then install the Package ( ca. 290 updates total )

it's a known issue with svchost.exe process and it wont get fixed by MS from how things look like ( like "move to 10" this means from MS ).

 

The process keeps growing and growing and growing BIGGER....

 

There have been fixes for that but none surpassed the next patch day. You have to fix again and again if you suffer from it.

 

The way I described above DOES work but disconnect from network and disable the auto-update + reboot. It would still try to search for updates and block it all.

 

Done it this way many dozen times and it's a painless thing if you find such a comprehensive pack and follow my advice ( from a website forum, not really mine tbh )

delete everything in the folder c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution

 

back it up if you want, but you can just delete it and windows update will re-fill it with new stuff

Are you already running Service Pack 1? If so then just download the Roll-up package. If you are running 64-bit Windows 7, you want the x64 package.

http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=3125574

 

Windows 7 updater is broken in general and still hasn't been fixed. It's the same reason a lot of people encounter the Windows 10 installation being stuck at 99%.

 

If you rather just upgrade to 10, you still can.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade

 

Since your W7 updater is having problems, before upgrading to 10 you are going to want to disable Windows updater by changing it to not download updates, restart system, then disable 'wuauserv' in your Services. You can then start the upgrade executable.

 

YOu should DL a package that holds all updates since SP1, winfuture.de has them

 

Never download Windows updates from unknown sources, only from the Microsoft Catalog.

476mb ./. 1.75GB

 

I wonder how comprehensive this MS Updatepack is, it somehow misses 1300MB data ?!

 

Winfuture is a reliable source, no worries.

 

btw..I just checked, Winfuture.de Win7SP1 UpdatePack is MULTI-LANGUAGE, you should be able to install the package on any language version. 1.750MB as of March 2017 and 299 updates( from screenshot )

It's funny you guys keep going round this.

I used the guide I posted above.

 

There was some manual installation of a new Windows Update protocol, and one or two updates, one of which I think finally disabled the prompt to update to Windows 10.

All downloaded directly from Microsoft.

 

After that I could update Windows 7 with all the missing updates, and after that automatic updates has been working again, no problem.

It's because those 2 mentioned Update Rollups are 2 differently packed rollups.

 

One with 476MB can hardly hold all updates since SP1 Release, and that is what you need when you wanna get done fast and reliably in business environment and not want to do 50 Updates in the Rollup and another 250 via the standard procedure.

 

Also, this is and most likely will be read by others, not only you right now, so pointing out the difference between Apples and Oranges does matter imho.

 

 

 

*edit

Installing a Win7-64-Ult on VMware while I type to try the original MS Pack with 476MB and check after that how many are left to be done. The total from SP1 till as of now is a 299 + everything that came last week(s) since the pack was rolled up.

 

I am trying to understand LoL, I am just branded by experience

 

 

*edit2

 

The update from MS refused to install on a fresh copy of Win7 64bit Ultimate, see attached pic. That package is from May 16th 2016, there is no newer one from MS.

I forgot to add:

 

I then installed the 275 upd from winfuture pack, took 110min on my rig at 5G and 16gb vmware instance with 4 cores.

 

After that, i opted for MS Updates over Windows Updates, resulting in another 77 updates.

 

Then 2 more runs with a few only each, then it was up to date.

 

All in all its about 350 packs !!!

 

Microsoft is so F..... Lame! Any other OS is 1000x smarter doing such things.

 

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

DONE in Debian in a fraction of the time and effort
