Service Pack 1 won't show in Windows Update

[Mexetudo]

As the title says, the SP1 update never showed up in windows update in my laptop...
I manually checked for updates many times just to end with a message "Windows is up to date".
I've always received other updates normally.

In case someone asks, my copy of windows is legit. My laptop came with W7 Home premium installed and a couple days ago i upgraded to W7 Business with a key i had.
I only upgraded cause i thought somehow the update would appear. Ended up with same result as above.

I know i can download it in Microsoft's website but i just wan't to know if there's a way to fix this or if anyone have experienced this.

Btw, I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64 now.
Any help would be great

Could it be that it is already installed. Have a look in Start > Computer > Properties. It would show like this:

I'm not that noob
Joking.

It's not installed. Trust me.

Sorry, but sometimes one forgets the obvious - that is one lesson I learned after 52 years around computers.

I had a similar thing, although not exactly the same,

I did a fresh install couple of weeks back, and SP1 didn't show up until I had all updates installed. Which seem's a bit counter productive in my view, but there we go.

Probably not a lot of help I'm afraid, but you did ask if someone had something similar.

Hello!

Please check everything in this Knowledge Base Article: You do not have the option of downloading Windows 7 SP1 when you use Windows Update to check for updates

If still no dice, tell me, and I will take a different approach.

Thanks!

I checked every single step in the link you provided and nothing worked.

-SP1 is not installed, neither a prerelease version.
-When i check for updates it searches for a few seconds and gives me a message saying "Windows is up to date" and i do have Update 976902 installed.
-Never used "SafeCentral". It's not installed.
-My graphics card/GPU is ATI, not Intel.
-Never used vLite.

Thanks for the replies guys.

That post is about removing the intel graphics driver but I don't have any intel graphic driver installed

Did you do an upgrade or a clean install to Windows 7 Professional x64 ?

It was an upgrade. I thought that upgrading from Home Premium to Professional would somehow make the SP1 update appear, but it didn't.

Make sure you have the latest driver for your computer's graphic card, in this case-- ATI.

That is to say, I updated my graphic card driver and it showed up. I never seen SP1 listed when I used old 2009 display drivers.

I checked my Laptop's manufacturer website and the driver they have there is the one i have installed but i went to ATI's website anyway to double-check.

I found a new version of the catalyst control center which i installed.
The setup showed me a list of things that would be updated and showed my graphics driver as up-to-date. The only things updated were the control center itself and Microsoft Visual C++.

I restarted my system and checked for updates in WU, just to have the usual "Windows is up to date message".
