Windows 10: Having Issues with latest Windows 11 updates - freezing entire Windows program, or just...

I have currently had issues with Windows 11 latest update causing freezing issues with my PC. I am running an ASUS ROG Strix X570-e, EVGA 3080 Hybrid, 32 GB GSkill RAM - board recommended, and a 5900x Ryzen 9 processor. I installed the update and almost instantly Windows itself would freeze not allowing me to open any program; however, it wasn't constant and there were times I could use my PC, but overall not really. Those times that I was able to use my PC I ran hardware checks on everything - everything passed. Checked all the drivers - all drivers were up to date. Checked program updat

Issue with Windows 7 Gadgets

For some strange reason, my Windows 7 gadgets (Weather, GMail, etc) can no longer connect to the internet and update themselves. I have added both sidebar exe files (C : \Program Files and C : \Program Files x86) to the Windows Firewall Exceptions list. It is the same issue even when UAC is enabled. What could be causing this? Thanks for any help.

I also just realized that my Windows Update is not working as well, so that may be a related issue.

 

Windows update issues

It works, but I still need to fix it so that way I dont have to plug computers directly to the modem to get windows update to work. It was also blocking me from installing directx.

 

Windows Update keeps failing!

Hi,

I had once a similar issue like yours, i.e. not able to update Windows 7. What I did to solve the problems is:

- go to control panel, then to "Troubleshouting" > "System and Security" > "Fix problems with Windows update" > click "Advanced" > choose "Apply repairs automatically".

And Windows will start detecting the issues and will repair "Windows update components". The problems should be fixed now, close the program, restart the PC, and see if the mentioned steps have fixed the problems you mentioned.

Hope it works for you.

Good luck!
