    FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

    Check the date on the one you thought it was. Nov 4 2015 <-That's not June

    The rollup does contain the fix.

    June 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

    June 21 2016

    Windows Update Client for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: June 2016

    This update contains some improvements to Windows Update Client in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This includes the following:
    • An optimization that addresses long scan time for updates that's reported on some computers.
    • Fix for a Windows Update error 0x8007000E on some computers while they are updating.
    • Some reliability improvements.

    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.

    They made it part of the WU client then, or it's two different things doing the same. Too bad you can't download it separately.
