Failing updates in Windows update (Error: Code 800706F7)
So here goes my story.
After +- 3 years of use I decided to format and to do a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium through an USB install. All goes well and the first thing I do is updating by using Windows update. All updates succeed and I install all other programs needed for personal use. But along the way my pc kept freezing (especially during big downloads through Steam, watching Flash Player videos in my browser or some trivial other things) so I decided to restart my pc. Blue screen appeared and I started everything over: Format > Clean install > updates.
But now the updates didn't work as before and get stuck around 19-20 of them failing. The error code been given every time is "Code 800706F7" I've done several things recommended on this forum and here are the results:
1. Ran the SURT tool and it installed Hotfix for Windows (KB947821)
2. Ran a SFC scan
3. Used the Fix It tool from MS to no avail
4. Tried some other things I can't remember proposed on other forums but reverted with a system recovery point when they didn't work
