    Windows 7 won't apply updates.


    For a while I have been having problems installing updates, I have tried many things and none of them have helped. I have run the KB947821 update and I have not seen any progress on the progress bar at all after 8+ hours. I have run the Disk cleaner removing all the updates and the like, turned off security programs, fixed an error with KB3022345 (but it seems to have come back). I have also tried the fixit and followed some of the steps like making sure there is not removable media present etc. I would have done a System restore but I don't think I have a restore point that goes back far enough.

    There is no error code that I am aware of, Windows update goes through the install fine and says the system needs to restart. Before it gets to the desktop it says that it is configuring the computer for about half an hour and then it changes to failure to install, reverting changes.

    I have removed the .cab files for the attached .zip as they made the file to large for the attached file size.

    Please help!

    The last two aren't really errors - they are the result of having installed KB3022345 or KB 3068708 and can be ignored.
    I'll post a fix protocol for the other error when I can get to it.

    I've uploaded a file - ibtaa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
    Please download and save it.

    Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
    Change the target to C:\ and click on Extract
    Close all windows (it would be a good idea to print these instructions!)

    Now reboot to the Repair Environment - as soon as the machine restarts, start tapping F8 - this should bring up the Advanced Boot Menu, at the top of which should be the option 'Repair my Computer'
    Pick that
    You'll have to log in with your username and password.

    Pick the option to use a Command Prompt
    At the prompt type
    DIR C:\ibtaa
    hit the enter key - if you get a 'Not Found' error try
    DIR D:\ibtaa
    or
    DIR E:\ibtaa

    The drive letter in use when you find the folder will need to be substituted (for<drive>) into the following command...

    XCOPY <drive>:\ibtaa <drive>:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h

    (e.g. XCOPY P:\wfire P:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h )



    run the command (it should take almost no time) and when the prompt returns, type
    EXIT
    and hit the Enter key to exit Command Prompt - reboot to Normal Mode Windows.

    Now run SFC /SCANNOW in an Elevated Command Prompt
    then reboot and upload the new CBS.log file to your reply

    I have done as you said but when I did the copy command it said 0 files copied. Also I checked the zip file I downloaded and it doesn't have any files in it.

    I have included the log file anyway.

    Great - SFC is now clear of significant problems - the others are MS's fault
    Now please try CheckSUR again - does it work now?

    Yes success! It installed in a little over two hours [emoji1]. Can I install the other updates now?

    PLease post the resulting CheckSUR log - that is a fairly long scan time and could indicate some hefty problems.
