    Win Update Issue & Proceedures


    I just loaded Win7 SP1 onto a new computer and it worked fine UNTIL it wanted to install 167 updates.
    Somewhere in the process almost 1/4 of the updates failed to install and basically I had to completely reinstall the OS.

    Now that I reinstalled Win7 again I still have those 167 updates to contend with. Can I select a smaller number at a time and if so is there some sequence to worry about. While a lot of updates are for security there are also a ton of .NET updates (that tend to take a long time) & IE 11 to replace IE8.

    How can I break this down to something that won't trash my new install for a second time? Any suggestions would be appreciated . . . Thanks

    There should be no problem choosing all the updates and installing them, but yes, try doing say 20 at a time.

    I had a problem last time as I indicated. Any 20? Should I separate out .NET from the rest or IE 11?

    Start with the Windows Security Updates
    then the other Windows updates
    Then Internet Explorer
    Then .NET updates.

Code 8000FFFF and 80070005 "Some updates are not installed" are driving me nuts. I've tried every fix and tweak I can find from system restore in both safe and regular mode, to every fix it tool I can find. I'm usually not stumped. There's got to be a fix. Thanks
