Solved Manual Updates query!

[Alexey2912]

Hi ThrashZone,

I have a question, might sound simple or stupid to you, but need your expert opinion to clear it before I reinstall W7.


1. The 3 manual updates, i.e 1. KB3020369, 2. 3125574-32bit and 3. KB3172605 are installed on a USB.

2. Should they be installed, running from USB or copied to the download folder and run from there......or it doesn't matter either way?

3. If from USB, the 3125574-32bit i.e the 2nd and 3rd prompt for a reboot, before rebooting, should the USB be plugged out or it's fine for it be in?

4. Lastly, the new install won't have a unzip app at that moment, should 3125574-32bit be opened and standalone installer run?

Hope you understand, trying to cover all bases.

Thanks.

Hi,
No such thing as a stupid question
I'd just copy and paste the 3 updates anywhere the downloads folder is a good choice I usually do that then use safe to remove device

After just run the stand alone installers for each one in order

Hi Alexey,
Gonna be doing the exact same thing when i install my SSD
Downoad the 3 updates to your desktop, remove usb AND any other Devices, and run them from there.
W7 has an inbuilt unzipper (right click on file > extract) you dont need 7Zip or same.

Hi,


The folders from my onedrive were zipped using windows right click send to zip folder so they were not created using a third party product so windows will not have any issues with them

Thanks torhwood/Roy, for the prompt reply, you too have helped clear the confusion.

Hi,
If you notice on the bottom there is a forth update you can try too
windows update

If you want the Security Quality Rollup (which includes everything), then it's here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3185330 these will eventually be cumulative sometime in 2017.

If you want the Security-only update then that's from here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3192391 this won't be cumulative.

Hey Thrash, can I unzip it on the USB, and copy it as the other 2, and run as standalone vs. copying the zip?

The last one in the screenshot.

Thanks again.

Hi,
Sort of
Right click each zip folder on the flash drive
Once you right click the zip folder you'll see Extract all use that and point it to the downloads folder or anywhere on the c drive will work as long as you remember where you point it to extract the contents too
I like the downloads folder because it's out of the way.... and you don't want to delete the stand alone installer too soon windows may not be finished with it right away

Thanks again for your very prompt expert reply. Have a great Sunday!

Hi ThrashZone,

I performed a clean install of W7, using the newer method i.e the 3 updates, including the 312 MB one.

1. All went fine, smooth till activation and check for newer updates, which found approx 38/40 new important updates.

2. Before installing any, ran sfc and found the same error?:huh:

3. The older method, when installing using that, get more updates and more failed ones, but none sfc scan error....strange?

Hoping to hear your expert thoughts.

Kind regards!

 

[Alexey2912]

Shall keep you posted, if I get an error installing that.

Thanks.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Very strange but if you cull through the update one might actually address sfc issues if memory serves me correctly

As long as you install kb308371 first then the other kb310281 2nd you should be fine
But indeed let use know how it goes as always

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

It went off fine, none sfc scan integrity violation message.

Now with online check for updates, displays approx 157 Important size 570 MB vs. 40 with the newer method, let's see how many failed I get this time.

With the newer method, got approx 5 failed, but never used to check sfc, till macrium restore was causing issues.

From what I recall with this got approx 20 failed, last I clean installed.....so not that bad?

Do I need to keep performing sfc scan at various steps,or it's fine performed thrice after installing Nvidia optional update?

Your expert thoughts?

Thanks.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
I rarely run sfc unless just wondering which again is rare
I also don't load an update for nvidia through windows update system I just go directly to nvidia website and use the custom install
Seeing your using a laptop I suppose it's okay to do it through the update system
On my laptop I would install the chipset driver through windows update "if one shows up" but that is a Intel driver really not nvidia.

If you get sfc errors just post in a new question but I doubt it's reflects doing.
No telling why that is out of my ballpark

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

Earlier, I rarely ever ran sfc during a install.....but this time with the big update and restore issue, as recommended by an expert realized it's importance.

Wanted to know, where the problem was, in Macrium software, Rescue media or the method of install.

Anyhow, thanks again. Hope I get fewer failed updates max 20.....
