This is on a 3 week old netbook with W7 starter. I have tried 5 or 6 times to install SP1 and all fail. I have tried all the MS fixes, troubleshooter and disabling Anti virus but it end the same...
- Does it give any specific error message? (example: Error 0x800f0826). It's likely we'll filter a lot of possibilities by having an error message!
- Are you sure you can have updates like this on the Windows Starter Edition? Because of the possibilities, licence etc you might not be able to. - Eitherway, I don't know.
- A full scan of Malwarebytes is recommended just in-case!
- Have you tried running System Update Readiness Tool? If not, try going to the path C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log and upload it here please!
- Do you have Daemon Tools installed? If so, try uninstalling it.

Thanks for your reply, here is the error message, it is always the same:
ERROR_NOT_FOUND(0X80070490)
As far as I can see Windows7 Starter should accept SP1.
I did the full scan with Malwarebytes - all clean.
I'll post the log today.
Now I've run the System readiness tool - hotfix. Tried the sp1 again and, surprise surprise, exactly the same result with the same error code.
Is the only option the Repair installation of Windows?
