Eset & w7 update problems

[fahl]

Windows ultimate,updates fail.
Using Eset but gives this message

Verify you have installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) with latest Windows updates (at least KB4474419 and KB4490628).

Is there any way around this please.

How long ago did you install Windows 7 Ultimate in your computer, and did it include Service Pack 1?

After you do a clean install of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, you need to install these updates:
KB4474419
KB4490628
KB3125574
before proceeding any further.

The Windows Update app should work fine afterwards.

Ding clean install now.

 

[flavallee]

Are you doing a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate with or without Service Pack 1 included in it?

While KB3125574 is far from being a must - what's the point in getting around the SHA-2 code signing support providing ones?

Reintalled still with sp1,still no KB4474419 and KB4490628).-- in updates


found where to get them but which ones?

There seems to be an issue with the catalog. Pick a "Windows 7" one with a file size...

You don't need to bother with windows wu. Running Simplix updatepack is much better.

UpdatePack7R2-20.5.20 .exe

Many thanks to those who have helped me,bit slow nowadays,in my 70,s & not too well.

Running Simplix updatepack was the answer,just one question,do i turn off windows update & run simplix occasionally or is there a better way

Hi Fahl,

Might as well turn off windows update, only users with the extended OS are getting them.


Not sure if simplex is getting updated.

Yes running Simplix occasionally is a good idea. I am not sure there is any need to turn off windows update. It is not impossible MS could issue an urgent security fix, it wouldn't be the first time.

Simplix is a good tool, it had updated 5 hotfixes from 2017 (which wasn't really necessary), but the downside at reboot it has install the patch Tuesday KBs from May 2020 and leaded me too a temporary profile as I had already been through with the Bypass method, which let me think there's the bypass hack inside the latest simplix. A restore point was the last to do to get back to normal situation.
