    Just a update here in that Microsoft via remote control have not been able to fix my problem so far with the updates for windows 7 only

    vista and windows 8 and 10- are working normally

    if i get any further info on this problem i will post back

    my last updates were in march so whatever has gone wrong has nothing to do with the update agent as far as we know ?

    they cant install as the message being received is searching for updates and we need to address that concern before any work around :)
    the main objective to this remote control exercise is a proper permanent fix if possible

    Hi,
    If installing either stalls it's usually because the update system is set at auto delayed start
    This will interfere with the stand alone installer 100% of the time unless you stop the existing windows update service before attempting to manually install either update.
