3) Make sure KB3020369 is installed if not manually install it this is the main article page with all versions,

I cannot install KB3020369. I get an error as "This update is not applicable to your computer.".

Please be sure to download and install the correct version for your architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
If you still get that error, then perhaps 3020369 may have been superseded (in which case you don't need it and I would not fuss about it).
KB3172605 seems to be the most important one to fix the WU client issues.

Having said that, all of these fixes for the updating problem were devised a few months ago.
It's possible that the October, November or December Security + Quality Rollups might also fix the problem, as some have suggested at other computer help venues.
Without a test box or VM in which to research that, I cannot say for sure.
Perhaps someone else might be able to test it?

Let us know how it goes,

MM

Hi,
You either don't have sp1 installed or you tried to install the wrong bit = 32 bit instead of 64 bit or the other way around.
Which version of windows do you have installed 32 bit or 64 bit,
System Type - 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)

If still no joy post this report in a new thread,
Windows Genuine and Activation Issue Posting Instructions

These are the general properties of my computer.



I'm trying to install Windows6.1-KB3020369-x64.msu.

5) Then manually install KB3172605 main article page with all versions,
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3172605

KB3172605 download links,
Win-7 32 bit
https://download.microsoft.com/downl...172605-x86.msu

Win-7 64 bit
https://download.microsoft.com/downl...172605-x64.msu

6) After switch your windows update and service settings back to what you had prior and manually check for updates and the rest should show up shortly.

I skipped installing this update and installed Windows6.1-KB3172605-x64.msu (step 5). Then I applied step 6. Now some updates are being downloaded.

Hi,
Thanks x64 bit sp1 :/
That update was released a long time ago so it would be weird for an older install not to have it already :)

Hi,
Yep I still have the older version of 2605 on my onedrive
It was released again in August or September not sure it was as good as the first :)
Cheers.
