Solved What fixed my windows update problems

[thelma]

Hi and thanks for all the useful info in this thread.

I have installed IE 11 ( mine was from 20/11/2010, never used after ) to get to this " https://catalog.update.microsoft.com " and can get no further than this :

I had the same problem.
I normally login to Win 7 with a Standard account.
I started IE11 with Run as administrator and then i could get to the catalog.
Then i couldn't download anything.
I logged into Win 7 with my Admin account and then i could get to the catalog and download.

What happens when you type the KB number in the search bar Thelma? Does it show any results? That page you posted is basically how the site looks. It's very plain and simple and looks like it hasn't been updated since the XP days

Hi Lee , it was actually Windows Vista . When I fill in a KB number this happens :

Will try logging in as administrator.

Try without the space after "KB".

Yep, did that first, no difference, still did not work.

But now I have typed in rollup and got a massive list to choose from and add ....

Not sure why that KB wouldn't work for you Thelma, working okay here without the space:

Uh...the first and last entry in the list are the same KB number but one is smaller than the other. How does one know which one to add?

 

[thelma]

OK Lee, it does now without the "space" and I used small "kb" this time, so that made the difference ! good to know for all future users

The top is 64-Bit and the bottom is 32-Bit.

I should have seen that. The older I get, the blinder and stupider I get.

Thanks!

Hi,
Yea it's the only thing I don't like about Steam it always asks to select age to preview games :mad2:

No kidding! I have to scroll waaaay down!

I've never understood why Steam constantly does that after I'm already signed in. If I'm signed into my account, then it should surely already know my age.

I think the OP will start to regret this thread soon, especially when we start talking about bad backs and creaky necks! :roflmao:
