Windows not finding Updates

[techtitan100]

Windows isn't finding this months Security Updates or anything when I click Check for Updates, it come out saying Windows is Up to date there are no available updates for your computer, is there a certain time when they are released, I have checked at least 3 times this morning and I am getting nothing

There are not available yet (for me).
I think I can usually see them after 9 or 10 AM PST...

 

[techtitan100]

oh ok thanks

 

[DavidE]

Just checked, and 17 updates available for me now.

 

[techtitan100]

I have 16 updates and here they are

 

[Layback Bear]

17 Updates here and sure are big ones. Lot of MB.

i don't have Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 and I don't have Microsoft Security Essentials so that is possibly why I have less updates, I have Microsoft Office 2013 and Webroot Secure Anywhere

Time for a bigger SSD !

 

[DavidE]

Updated a W7 32 Bit with 17 updates and no problems encountered so far...
Updating a W7 64 Bit with 18 updates right now...

 

[techtitan100]

All my updates installed without no problems, just took a little longer to do than normal

Same here. Also one update was a upgrade to MSE
Anyone know what changes are new in MSE?

 

[techtitan100]

I have no idea I use WebRoot Secure Anywhere

I did all the updates using more restarts than requested. Then checked FileHipo and found a Flash Player for Firefox. Got updates from Malwarebytes Anti Malware.
Shut down and a restart. Checked again for updates and download and installed Microsoft MSR Tool.All in34 min. So far no problems.
I really don't know what they changed in Microsoft Security Essentials.
I didn't look because I was going to install it one way or the other.
On you grandpa computer it took a little over 2 hours.
Love my Intel 510.

Thank's for the mention of Flash for Firefox.
I guess Mr. Secunia PSI was too busy with other projects to bring it to my attention !

I gave up on Secunia PSI about a year ago.

I've been meaning to ask this for awhile now but keep forgetting until it's too late. I have several updates hidden & wonder if they should be unhidden & installed before I do any new ones? I hide them because I wasn't sure I really needed them.

Thank's for the mention of Flash for Firefox.

Adobe adopted several months ago the same "Patch Tuesday" schedule as MS for routine updates for all their products.

There are both Shockwave and Flash Player (all browsers for Win and Mac) updates today.
Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe
There will be a new version of Adobe Air (3.8) tomorrow.
(I didn't get anything offered yet on a manual check for updates for Reader XI or Acrobat X, but YMMV.)

PS Back on topic - no problems with 18 patches on one Win7/64 desktop. About to tackle my other 2 rigs.

I had FileHipo on my previous machine but it would not work on this one for some reason.
It installed fine, when I clicked on the icon to run a check, it did nothing, would not pop-up, just disappear.
Anyone else encounter this ?

 

[techtitan100]

referring to a the post about all the hidden updates, I would install them all, except for IE10, that is up to you, I always install all my optional updates that have to do with Windows 7

If it was my computer I would not install the video card update if I didn't have any problems with the video card.
You could also go to Nvidia website and find out what the update does and decide from there if you want it.
I install all Microsoft Windows 7 recommended updates.
Important and optional and most recommended.
Any thing concerning a 3rd party (Nvidia) I investigate first.
