    How to fix Windows Update?


    So I have already tried many things, such as the troubleshooter and using the windows update registration thing but in services, Windows Update doesn't appear. I don't understand why and I've already tried doing it multiple times.

    :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
