Fresh Install Win 11 with updated CU's (Build 22621.1265) BSOD on nearly every reboot - Thread Exception not Handled is common

Win11 by default does not update drivers unless the user fiddled with the settings.

For a branded PC you update drivers from that PC maker, and for a self build, the mobo maker & vid card maker, and no other source including win update

 

Fresh install, Win Update issue

I've just done this on several computers at work. There is a download from Microsoft that will help with the initial update after a fresh install! Give me a sec. and I'll find the name:

Windows6.1-KB3102810-x64.msu

I think if you just search for the KB3102810 part you will find it online somewhere. It's just slightly more than 3 MB in size. We waited over an hour with one of the processor cores pegged with nothing happening. This was on a fresh install of Win 7 64-bit SP1 and we were just trying to get the very first update (the one before the massive ~1 GB of updates)

I never saw a .msu before but it runs just like an executable. It will still take a few minutes after you have that patch installed for the update to run but you won't be waiting forever like before.

 

Fresh install, Win Update issue

Check time, and give it a reboot. But you likely will just have to wait. Installing all the updates for Win7 after a fresh install takes forever. It doesn't help that the Windows Update process is single threaded either. So it takes even longer on an older processor, or one that isn't very single threaded powerful.

I just installed Win7 on a new built for a client. It was only an Athlon 5350. I started Windows Update when I got to my office in the morning, and 8 hours later when I left it was still sitting at the "checking for updates" phase. When I got to work the next morning it had finally moved on to tell me there were 228 updates to install. You'll just have to wait, unfortunately.
