    Installed it and then that is pretty much it:

    "Installation Successful: Windows successfully installed the following update: Hotfix for Windows (KB947821)"

    Hi,
    Okay
    I'm not a big fan at manually checking for updates windows should do that on delayed start automatically

    Reset the update settings to Check for updates but let you choose when to download and install
    Uncheck Give me recommended updates the same way.
    Save and restart the machine.

    See what these services are set at
    Then click Start and type in the search box
    services
    Click the suggestion or the enter key
    Make sure these services are running and on automatic or delayed start.
    Double click the listings to get the options to change them.
    Background intelligent transfer services
    Cryptographic
    Windows installer
    Windows update

    Ok so I have changed the update settings and gone into services.
    I have actually changed acronis to be manual as it was giving me hassle

    Background intelligent transfer services - Changed to Automatic
    Cryptographic - Automatic
    Windows installer - Changed to Automatic
    Windows update - Automatic (delayed start)

    Restart or shut down for a little while 20-30 minutes and startup
    Double check the services and update settings and leave it alone do not manually check for updates again.

    Shut down at night and startup in the morning.
    See if windows does what it's supposed to do.

    I have done the above (and not tried to install anything).

    The services are started except for Windows Installer which is not even though it is an automatic/

    In Windows update it had a bunch of stuff available to install but not downloaded.

    Well I came up with a post from our Noel on another forum
    Windows Operating System - Windows(R) 7, OEM_COA_NSLP channel

    This is an interesting one - It's an OEM System Builder Key. BUT (if I'm reading it right) it's one that is for Large OEM's to use as (free?) Upgrades on their machines only.

    So, it looks to me that you got what you should have got this time :)

    Hopefully, Jason will be able to confirm that.
    (If not, then you could always repost the report in the Genuine Windows 7 forum atMicrosoft forums - Windows 7 Genuine Advantage Validation Issues (Windows 7)
    where the Forum owner puts all reports through his checking tool for analysis.)

    HTH - and good Luck

    Went to: https://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/
    I says that it is genuine.

    This is a purchased product from a UK retailer (PC components and online computer shop - Award winning supplier - Scan.co.uk) so should not have any validation problems (i think)
