Windows Update don't work anymore since Dec 16 ?

Hello, I have a problem that I'm trying to fix...since 1 month. My first language is french so I decided to post my question on a French Tech Forum and nobody can help me... if you want to take a look what they ask me to do :

Probleme de MaJ avec Win 7 ??? - MicroClick-Québec.ca

I attached a JPG and you can see which last update that is installed. Suddenly stop after December 16 ?!

I check this forum and try this :

For 64-bit Windows, the second line differs due to the location of the DLL file:
net stop wuauserv
regsvr32 %windir%\syswow64\wups2.dll
net start wuauserv


That didnt work.


I want to tell you guys that I have some BSOD sometime but I have BSOD before my Windows Update problem. We will try to fix my Windows Update problem and after we will try to fix the BSOD :)

I don't know where to start with you guys lol..

I have Win 7 Pro 64 bits, 8 gig RAM...

In my task bar I have the little flag with an "red x" on it... saying, I will try to translate from french to english "Windows could not search for automatic update (important)"

Thank you very very much for help !

Thank for the welcome.

I use this fix before and it seem to fix something when you run it but I have the same problem again. (I try to to use it right now, allways the same thing, found something, fix it but same problem...)

What error message do you get if you Check for Updates? - there are no failed installs, so you're either not detecting them, or not downloading them

They are no error message ! They not detecting any new updates... when I try (I leave it for 7 hres) and nothing......

perhaps there aren't any new updates? Do you get this?:


If you get something else, please attach the picture.

If windows update is set to automatic, it is likely that it downloads a lot of updates on its own.

Hi, your picture that you attached is what I got before Dec 16..now look my picture... it stuck on "Searching for updated"

Obviously, the problem is that the search for updates never complete - the last successful search was on 19th December

this thread looks interesting...
Windows Update Hangs while searching for updates - Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64 bit
Athough it's a Server install, I believe that it should apply to Client versions as well

Humm, I just check my installed Update and something new appear... one on January 30....KB947821...and I have all the MSE Update every day.. maybe finally update install but I keep having my little flag with a red "x" on it saying that I have a problem ????

I;m a bit confused... I will check your thread right now
