Downloading and installing all updates at once

Hi Harlem,

That's great news, thanks for posting back the results and how you managed it :) I'm sure others experiencing this problem will really appreciate your efforts!

Hello Harlem and welcome to the forums

Some updates are cumulative (most security updates for example) and the components from the previous update have to exist before the newer update can be installed. So you won't be able to install all of these at once.

Service packs are introduced every now and then which are big packages of all of the previous updates, so you only have to reboot once.

It is possible to make a disc with all of the updates that you need to install, but I don't know how many times you need to reboot, all I know is that it saves you the hassle of downloading them all again.

WSUS Offline Update - Update Microsoft Windows and Office without an Internet connection

Tick the Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 and the Create ISO option (whichever of the two suits you best). Then hit the big Start button at the bottom :)

There's quite a few, so it might take a while to download them all!

Before trying the WSUS Offline Updater, I thought it would give me a collection of files that needed to be updated on the computer, then I could find those updated files, whether separately or in a giant pack. Unfortunately the program doesn't do what I was hoping.

Any other method to updating a Windows7 computer, without any internet connection ?

I'm afraid not. As far as I know, WSUS Offline is as close as you're going to come to a solution.
