Solution to Windows 7 update problems

[krampak]

Well, it seems that the manual catalog option has worked. I will now try to install it to see what I find tomorrow...

Edit: 143 have been installed and 11 have given an error. Then I tried with those 11 and 6 have been installed, so there are 5 pending.

Well, here I leave you another page, this time with the precise packages to get things going when it gets stuck again.

Search for Windows Updates takes forever? - A possible solution

@whoololon I confirm that as of today, this solution works. I did a clean install on a Pentium E2000nosecuantos and the longest run showed the list in less than 5 minutes.

[krampak]

@whoololon Perfect! That last link worked well for me this time. I thought that with KB3020369 and the April Rollup I would have enough but not so much... by adding KB3177467 and KB3172605 and restarting it found the remaining updates well.

since I didn't open a new thread, I revived it
on 03/05/2017 I bought a W7 ultimate sp1 everything has gone perfect until yesterday when I got the message that it's not original. I bought it as original and they sent me the download link, and it has been updating by itself without any problems.
any suggestions?
regards

@clipper How much did it cost you?

[Clipper]

does that matter? about 40 euros

[Yorus]

Importantly, that is not a Microsoft price, so the chances of being given a corporate license are high, and in the end Microsoft ends up closing the tap.

Hello
I had the W7 pirate and it has nothing to do with this one, this one is authenticated on the network, no cracks and no hiding updates. That's why it bothers me that now it says it's pirated.
Any solution?
Regards

From Microsoft's point of view, it is equally illegal, it is not a license intended for end users and they have caught him. Sometimes it can last for months, a year, many years... but it is a lottery.

Edit: I leave you this link on the subject

If you put "cheap windows licenses" in Google, you will find more information on the subject.

What you have done is better than putting in a crack, which is more dangerous, but equally illegal and, moreover, I regret to say that the license has cost you dearly for the prices that are being handled out there.

[Clipper]

The issue is that I downloaded a pirated copy and it was advertised as original on the website, nowhere did it say it was pirated, it sold all versions as originals.
I mean, they sold it to me as dubbed, right?

@clipper That thing about them having nothing to do with it, well, it depends, because it's true that those keys are not illegal, but not in the face of Microsoft.

In fact, you can find W10 Pro OEMs for quite less than €15, that's right, you know that any day they can check the list and you're out.
That even so it comes out cheaper than the €140 of a "legal" license?, that already depends on each one.

If you were not aware of this and believed that what you were doing was allowed by Microsoft, unfortunately you have been deceived, both by the product and by the price.

Claim from the page where you bought it.

[Clipper]

Thanks for the answers.
For once I want to go legal....

Claim where you bought it and they might reactivate it or give you another one.

I had one bought from a website that sells used games and software, and when I got the message they gave me another one, and when that one broke they ended up putting the money I spent towards credit in the store and I ended up buying a couple of games, but take away my fun xD

Cheers!

Did you try using phone activation?...that usually works pretty well.

Ugh, I've been without a computer and when I rescued the c2d to get by, I wanted to die with the Windows updates, the bastard spent several days updating. There was a package of over a hundred updates that took all day to install and sometimes it lost a lot of performance.

[Yorus]

Yes, the truth is that it's amazing. With Windows 10 you create the USB drive again, install, enter a couple of updates and that's it (if you created the USB drive a while ago you will also have to eat a few updates and big ones). With Windows 7, except for some ISO created by someone outside of Microsoft, we will have up to SP1 and then install more than 200 updates. The computers with few resources die, if it's powerful with a good micro, SSD, RAM and in addition fiber optics it can be more bearable. What I have noticed lately is that I can update without installing any patches, I haven't used them for months and without problems.

[Obione]

Anniversary messed up a bit with the issue of some config being erased or some driver being messed up and they changed 4 little things but the 10 is a thousand times better in that sense, the updates don't get stuck and it doesn't lose performance.
