Windows Update & Printer Driver.
I am having issues with both. I have a windows 7 64 bit preinstalled. The windows update is behaving oddly. When you hit the “Check for updates” it looks for them, then doesn’t find them most of the time, say the firewall maybe blocking it. What is odd at the same time, the windows update icon by the clock, shows it downloading updates. Just in case it is Windows firewall, how do I allow windows update through the windows firewall. Step by step instruction, I am not familiar with the newer windows firewall. I need to know the name of Windows Update executable, so I can add it to the firewall exception list.
Like I said above I have a 64 bit machine that maybe the problem. Hp claims W7 will install the default OS driver. No luck. I don’t know if the other suggestion about downloading updated driver list from windows 7 worked or not due to my issue with Windows Update.
Yes, I am still on a dial-up, so I can’t download windows 8.1 full install plus I don’t know if that will fix the issue anyway.
Thank You in advance.
