UNI is this machine a AMD also ?

This is a VM used to play with and learn about the update process. It would simulate a fresh install that needs a lot of updates. The VM sees/uses the Intel host CPU.



I don't have a real computer with WU problems. No real problem to solve. Just learning.

Thanks Callender shows a AMD system so I was wondering if you had similar

Well for what it is worth I spent many hours going in circles trying to fix the problem attempting variations of several fixes.

In the end what worked (it may not work for everyone and possibly not all steps are needed) was:

[EDIT: First reset IE to default. Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> Reset]

Run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi in aggressive mode. Disable WU service. Switch off router. Reboot (with no internet)

MicrosoftFixit50202[1].msi in aggressive mode again. Reboot (still with no internet) - disable WU Service.

Remove all versions of WU client (the ones where an update has been installed)

Run that script Brink posted to reset all WU components - but instead of running the script run the commands one at a time using Elevated Command Prompt > Powershell swictching back to Elevated Command Prompt (no Powershell) if an error was encountered.

Manually confirm that the following were deleted and either unlock and delete or force delete if still present:

"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat"
%SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\*.*
%SystemRoot%\system32\catroot2\*.*
%SystemRoot%\WindowsUpdate.log

Check WU service is disabled. Reboot.

Run advanced disk cleanup to include WU cleanup. Enable WU Service. Reboot.

Manually re-configure WU settings (Notify)

Run a WU check and leave overnight. The first one seems to take ages. Once complete, do not install any updates for WU client.

Manually download whatever version of WU Client you wish to use and force install it.

"Full Path To installer ****.msu" /wuforce

Reboot. Reconfigure WU settings if they have changed (Notify instead of Auto-Download)

After WU check hide any WU Client updates

Well the problem seems to mostly affect AMD machines but a few users of Intel machines report problems.

Once again, my current list and my WUA version is 7.6.7601.18979

Hey Guys,
How or where do I find my version number.

Anyone received this update on their 7 machine today?

Looking at the description it states it's for Windows 8.1 only. Wonder if this is another MS screw up??

See this link in this post. The update does seem to be for W7 too.

I got it as optional.

[jadinolf]

i don't understand the point as to why someone would want to remove them.

because they don't want them.

well said!

 

[MeOnMine]

I have only one thing to say.


Well done Lee that is phenomenal !


Thanks for your work.

 

[Brds7t7]

Thanks MeOnMine.

I'm off work at the moment with a broken ankle, so I have plenty of free time! :roflmao:

Thanks MeOnMine.

A broken ankle is nothing to laugh at, nor is being off work. I hope you get better soon!

Thanks Lady F.

I'm slowly on the mend. Gotta keep smiling (although that could be down to the pain meds)

Although attempting to dance + crutches = disaster! :roflmao:

You are lucky you can take pain meds; I can't. I struggling with image of someone dancing on crutches. Doing a one step?

 

[Brds7t7]

More like a No-step! :roflmao:

Off topic comment.
Certain pain medication doesn't work for some people. I know I am one of those. After my Aortic valve replacement surgery and maze procedure in Nov 2013, morphine didn't work for me. The nurses were surprised I asked for Tylenol by IV and it helped. No one never asked for that on day one.
