Issues :


1. When at Settings in Check for update, you click 'restart' to install updates and it doesn't go through with restarting computer anyway.


2. You manually restart computer and update does not apply.


*Fix* :


Change your Computer's name and click on 'restart now'. A FEW MINUTES LOADING AND UPDATES WILL INSTALL!

FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

Yeah, I've been noting it for months on the refusenik thread. They do NOT want anything older than 10 running.

I still have an HTPC on W7, and every other month I have to fix the update agent in order to get all updates. SMH....

You provided a good step by step fix. I've bookmarked it for future reference.

 

Windows updates won't install!

I had the same problem when i repaired my O/S, i forgot the steps on how to fixed it, but it is in the microsoft support forum.

You have to reinstall the windows updater, then restart the updating service.

Windows XP SP3: Windows Update fix

Ah.
Probably the issue I had with windows media format runtime security update for WMP 9.5 & 11 downloading but not installing.

I fixed it by typing something into the command prompt which I think reset the update.
