Fresh Install...Windows Update/Browser issue
I've updated the installation media using SIW2 method along with Simplex. Working fine. I've ran into a few slight issues and would like to tackle them one at a time.
The first one has to do with a fresh install of Win7 and then running Windows Update. Although WU is working fine years ago when you installed Win7 WU had an option for WU to also look at Other Updates along with MS updates. You clicked on a hyperlink which took you to a special page which uploaded a separate WU feature. This loaded some extra whatever to allow WU to not only look for Microsoft products but other hardware updates as well.
Now after a fresh install that hyperlink option still shows however the first time you click it you then get the notification to update to Edge which seems to throw the whole thing for a loop and that option for other hardware doesn't get installed. I attempted multiple test installs to try and figure it out but no matter what I tried I could not get Windows Update updated with this feature.
Hopefully I have explained this well enough. Perhaps I should have some screen shots but hopefully the experienced ones here will understand.
So although WU is working fine for Microsoft products I'm not quite sure it is working totally for all hardware connected. For things like monitor drivers, etc
