Hi,

Thanks again, appreciate all your expertise and positive attitude.

It's highly knowledgeable members like you that am addicted to W7 forums.

I'll try my best to bother you the least possible.......you are, must be in high demand.

Have a great week end!

Hi,
SevenForums isn't as busy as it used to be so asking stuff is never a problem
Cheers.

Hello again,

Really.....I had a different view

The main issue I face, which you taught is picking the correct W7 only updates and not the 10 ones and in which order to install.

Now am trying to keep a note of all I do........

You must be a genius and learnt by heart what to pick and what not

Cheers

Hi,
Not really just read a lot
I have been testing a little on my laptop I don't use much and installed some other updates to see what happens,

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

Well again modesty, that's a great attitude.

If you love reading you should probably have become a doc.....

Care to have a view (when you are free ) at this clean install and 1st run for updates around 173 W7, approx 500 plus MB.

Reason for asking, to see for any unneeded, W10 ones or in which order to install to get least errors. Last time with the backup image I got 35 errors.......

Would appreciate it.

Cheers!

Hi,
Ouch what happened
Get KB3020369 & KB3172605 & KB3125574 from the catalog
Microsoft Update Catalog

After that you'd only have about 50 updates showing up instead
You can also get it from my OneDrive although they are in zip folders so you will have to right click them and extract all after downloading them you really only need now is KB3125574 you have the 2 others already.
Then just manually install like usual.

Hi,

Nothing really serious, have the last created backup stored.

Want to reinstall, with less errors, previously had 35 failed updates.

Clean installed and after the 2 updates manually installed, connected to internet, validated, and ran updates for the 1st time, results 172 for W7 and 1 for defender.

Haven't installed any, apart from the 1st 2, that you recommended in the other thread.. KB30..and KB31..

Now what would you recommend..

After manual install of these 3, check for updates would only show 50 vs 172?

If I download from your One drive and manually install, after the KB3125574 , check for updates would show none?

In your experienced opinion, which would have less failed updates?

Thanks for your expert reply.

 

[Alexey2912]

Installed these 2 updates manually KB3083710 and KB3102810, than connected and validated.

 

[Alexey2912]

KB3083710 and KB3102810 are not required?

While installing manually the 3 from catalogue or from your drive do I need to be connected to internet?

Thanks!

Hi,
No internet shouldn't be needed once you download them just install them in the order I posted them in
You be updated through April of 2016 so yes only about 50 updates left but a cleaner install with fewer failed to install updates
Hopefully no failed out of the 3
Let me know on that one

Good morning,

Hi,

Let me make myself clear, since am confused.

I have the up to date W7 with Off till Aug updates, image created and stored.

In this install got approx 30-50 failed updates.

So I decided to experiment it again hoping to get lesser failed updates, starting from a clean install.


1. Clean installed W7 SP1.

2. Installed KB3083710 and KB3102810 updates as standalone.

3. Connected to internet and W7 validated.

4. Ran check for updates for the 1st time, results displayed as in attachment, 173.


Query is how to get fewer or none failed updates?

That is why I posted the update list.

If it isn't possible than would just restore to the last backup.

Thanks again.

Hi,
Not sure why you're using those old updates to install with
http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-updates-activation/400015-w7-not-updating-5.html#post3277830
These are the ones you should be using KB3020369 & KB3172605 & KB3125574

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

So you mean to say I should do this

1. Clean installed W7 SP1.

2. Install KB3020369 & KB3172605 & KB3125574 updates as standalone.

3. Connected to internet and validate W7.

4. Than run for check for updates.

Correct?

Thanks.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Yep that's the ticket might as well try it it's the only process you have not used as far as I've noticed

 

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

Fine, shall download these 3 and keep you posted.

Thanks.

 

[Alexey2912]

These 3 in which order.........

1. KB3020369

2. KB3172605.

3. KB3125574

Is this ok?

Thanks.

 

[Alexey2912]

Cannot find a link for KB3125574, care to post if you have?

Thanks.


Another reason for trying a new install is if the no of failed get way to high, than at times with reset creates new Softwares Distribution folder..

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Yep already posted to my Onedrive to get all of them or just the one you need

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

Thanks.

1. Just this KB3125574 one.

2. Which folder of your One note drive?




Edit:

Hi again,

Can I uninstall the 2 old standalone updates or need to reinstall W7?

Thanks.
