Win Update, AutoPatcher and Manual Update Attempts All Stall

It's been a while since anyone answered this. I'm still stuck with an undated version of win7. I'd like to change that and wonder if there's anything else I can try to update my system, short of going to win10 or a clean install.

Hi Ellen,
can you
Re-Register the Windows Update files


To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open an administrative Command Prompt window.
2. At the command prompt, type the following command:
3. REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL /S
   
4. REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL /S
   
5. REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL /S
   
6. REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL /S
7. REGSVR32 WUCLTUX.DLL /S
   
8. REGSVR32 WUWEBV.DLL /S
   
9. REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL /S
   
10. REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL /S
    

I believe one of the above is causing/missing from the WU agent.

Hi Roy,

Thank you for your continued help. I'm finding this so tedious that I have put off working on it. I have many instances of the files you mentioned. Should I register them anyway? Here's what I have on the first four. (Long strings are all different.)
Thanks again for helping me out.

Ellen

WUPS2.DLL /S
not found in system32
5 instances with this path, long string varies
c:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-w..wsupdateclient-core….long string

WUPS.DLL /S -
1 instance in system32
1 instance in syswow65
10 instances in c:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-w..owsupdateclient-aux….long string

WUAUENG.DLL /S
not found in system32
5 instances in c:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-w..owsupdateclient-aux….long string
5 instances of wuaueng.dll.mui

WUAPI.DLL /S –

2 in c:\Windows\winsxs\x86_
5 in c: windows\winsxs\wow65

Hi Ellen,
Sorry bout the delay slipped under the radar

can you run this kb

http://download.windowsupdate.com/wi...nt-7.6-x64.exe


then set windows updates to automatic


If that does not work and its taking to long to sort we could try a repair install.
this will require a W7 SP1 disc do you have one if not we can get you one.
