Windows update annoyance

Hi,
See you have not used the newer method of clean installing like I suggested on your other thread
Strange install problem

ThrashZone said:

There are essentially 3 updates needed for a clean install of windows that will get you updated through April of 2016

KB3020369 & KB3172605 & KB3125574 all can be downloaded from the M$ catalog using internet explorer
Microsoft Update Catalog

When manually installing updates you need to switch your update settings to Never check for updates and restart the machine first.

Also after restart verify the windows update service is stopped and set it to Manual first or it will conflict with the stand alone installer.

Hi,
I can't link to that update it comes only from the catalog
But I do have 32 and 64 bit versions on my OneDrive in separate zip folders if you want it from there ?

Hi,
If you've never dealt with Onedrive all you have to do is check the box for the one you want I have the 32 bit one pointed to here because someone else needed it and click the download button


After it completes right click the zip folder and select Extract all
Run the update.
Make sure the windows update service is not running before you attempt to install it.

Here's a list of the first round you'll probably see after
W7 not updating?

Hi,
Great thanks for the update = no pun intended :)
Cheers.
