Gotta love that hanging.

Straight up doesn't work anymore. Not as subtle as you might think, MS.

It does work, but you have to be your own tech support for about an hour.

>>57206137
Could not get it to run again and I tried for more than an hour believe me. I don't remeber everything I tried but their tool does nothing, deleting the updates folder or whatever also no joy. Don't really care anymore...

Was that so hard?

>>57205979
It hasn't worked for me since July.

Not my problem.

How to keep Windows 7 running like new 101.

>Turn off automatic updates anywhere and everywhere
>Every x amount of days it tells me that it's turned off and I should turn it back on
Just fuck off man.
I know I turned it off, stop fucking telling me.

>>57206183
You need to install the latest Windows Update version to get it working

Not true, you can call them and they will direct you to the patch that fixes it in just a few minutes.

>inb4 I don't pay for it, I steal

Then you don't get to whine about being your own tech support retard.

it's time to move to win10 jesus fucking christ

>>57207184
Nope. I'll take 7 with me to the grave. Had they not improved it so much over Vista I'd still be using XP.

>>57207205
Are you aware that 7 is just a Vista skin with some bonus features?

>>57207302
Far more stable than Vista has ever been. Plus a lot nicer looking. So they did more than you think.

Apply 4 needed updates manually. Then update will be fixed.
Just search on google.

made mine work again

>>57207165
It's more than that. If you do a fresh install from either a base install or SP1 you have to do several updates manually to get updates working. Even all of those manual updates couldn't get my install working. I ended up using http://download.wsusoffline.net/. Shits a little faster too. And you can set it up to automatically do a series of updates and reboots.

>>57207302
I for one would still use Vista if it had TRIM support

>>57207947
just do this

Really amazing how Microsoft fucked this up. It really looks to me that almost all Windows 7 systems are stuck with 100% CPU for the update thread and cannot update anymore without manual intervention.

I can imagine some people getting fired for this.

>>57208092

or promoted

>>57205979
I did a clean install. Searching for updates is now running since 12hours...

>not knowing about update rollups

Start with this
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3125574
then install 6 more rollups for following months, voila, you're done

>>57208691
Sadly this breaks the amd driver

Windows is SHIT.
Fresh installed of Windows 7 with a legit product key. Windows Update set to "recommendation" setting.
Tried to windows update but it just keeps on searching forever. No progress forever. I'm thinking Micro$hit purposely fucks it up so you'll be forced to upgrade to their Windows 10 bullshit.

>>57208932
The recommended setting just gives you a bunch of bloatware. Security updates only is the best option.

>>57208964
Regardless, I can't get any updates at all. None what so ever. Both on a PC that used to be able to get updates and a fresh install.

>>57208991
Use http://download.wsusoffline.net/. Better update client. Not as pretty, but works better.

>>57209008
I shouldn't have to go to some site filled with viruses. It should have worked like it should, in Windows Update.

Okay OP I'm about to save your whiny little ass, here's what you gotta do...turn off the Windows Update service, then manually download/install the following updates:

-KB3083710
-KB3102810
-KB3020369
-KB3125574
-KB3172605

Reboot, restart service, reboot again, boom, 200 updates detected like fuckin magic

>>57208932
Happened to me too.
Use wsusoffline or update rollups. It's faster, too.

>>57209029
>viruses
Lol? Do you not use an adblocker? I don't know what the page looks like without one. Shit is well put-together. Just a collection of powershell scripts mostly and a core app written in C#, so you can be extra cautious about it and read all the scripts and decompile the C# if you want.

>>57205979
Why are you even upgrading? For what possible purpose? You do realize that you're updating a proprietary operating system and that you're never sure if bugs are getting fixed? Not to mention that many recommended security updates came with Windows 10 update options and telemetry.

>>57209089
I actually tried installing all of the updates purported to contain GWX and so on recently, they all failed

Linux does not have this issue :)

>>57209292
Linux is superior, but windows has better support. I need Xilinx ISE for school.
