Solved Does Windows 7 Service Pack 1 include the KB971033 update?

[RoloDman]

Can you please tell me if the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 download will automatically install the KB971003 update.

Thank you for your time

Apparently so.

I installed SP 1 an hour ago and that update is shown as installed, along with 11 others for Windows.

I don't know what it is. MS is not the publisher. If you right click it, you have the "uninstall" option.

Edit: I stand corrected. That update is on my system, but it is shown as being downloaded on Feb 9. So, it is one of 11 updates carried over from my non-SP1 install.

Only one of the updates listed shows today as the date of installation.

On my system I did not install that update when it was released and it still shows as hidden and SP1 did not install it. I am referring to KB971033.

Just got some update notices a minute ago, after having installed a new image of Windows 7 x64 integrated SP1 from Technet several days ago.

One of the updates is (KB971033) unchecked - Windows Activation Technologies update.

So I would say it's not included in the SP1 as it is. Is that the update you're referring to, or KB971003?

Good eyes, Airbot.

KB971033 is on my system after SP 1 and was installed Feb 9.

I installed SP 1 64 bit RTM today and cannot find KB971003 and can't say if it was on my system prior to SP 1.

When I first installed SP1 RTM through windows update I hadn't installed KB971033 beforehand, and as
such I didn't have any option to remove it after installing SP1.
I reimaged the drive, installed KB971033, then SP1.
After reboot, Uninstall of KB971033 was available, and done.

According to the docs it seems SP1 includes that update, so if you want it gone (or seemingly so), I guess this is the way to do it as now that update is listed as available in WU.

I am referring to the KB971033, yes

WAT (kb971033) is NOT included in SP1, but it'll be offered as an important update on a SP1 system. I think theres a new version of WAT out there.

 

[Airbot]

Yeah, I got offered the WAT update just today on my integrated Win 7 SP1 install - so it wasn't included in it to begin with I believe.

thank you to everybody for your help

List of updates in Windows Service Pack 1

Hello, I would like to add the link to a list of updates in Windows Service Pack 1:

(Sorry for the late response - I only just saw this thread!)

The latest edition of the WAT Update (KB971033) was released in spring 2011 - there has been no change since in the update itself. This release was probably to allow for the release of SP1.

What may have changed is the way it's being pushed by WU (I'm not certain that this has happened, either) - it may either have a different priority for SP1 to RTM, or MS may have upgraded it throughout.
When it was originally released, it was a 'Recommended' update for RTM (SP1 was not even in Beta, IIRC).

I'll try and check next time I have to do an RTM install

It currently shows in SP1 installs as an Important update but is optional - so you can opt out of it either by hiding it, or by adjusting your WU options appropriately.
