[furydeath]

Seeing how automatic updating no longer works on my computer ffo rabout a year now is there any why to get updates manually or am i just stuck with what ever build I'm on now?

Automatic updates should be working.

Do you mean it won't update even though automatic updates is turned on, or that automatic updates are turned off and you would like them turned on.

Automatic updates is on i think it never looks to update nor can it even update if i tell it to.

Have you been able to manually update your Windows 7? You could have damaged or corrupt system files preventing automatic updates from working. Try running System File Checker scan. If scan finds damaged/corrupt files, run the scan 3-4 times. Let us know

Yep the scan find a few things but can't ever get them fixed.

Under the circumstances, you might consider a Repair Install to fix Windows 7. A Repair Install should fix all your damaged/corrupt files while saving your user accounts, data, programs, system drivers, etc.
