Ten days of Hell
Like so many I had problems downloading Windows 7 Updates. (My older computer, (Grandpa)
I tried everything I found on this forum and the Microsoft site with no luck.
So I bit the bullet and did a Repair Install. The install went as it should but still unable to update Windows 7. More days of Hell trying to get updates to work, no good results.
Bit the bullet again and did a Clean Install.
You guessed it; Updates still didn't work.
So once again I used ThrashZone instructions and methods and BINGO updates worked again as they should. Why the ThrashZone method didn't work on the Repair Install is unknown to me.
But as a guess it's was probably because all the things I did to keep W-10 out of my system carried over with the Repair Install and was not fixable. Thank you Microsoft for all the W-10 love you shared.
No way can I remember all the things I tried. But I did try everything I could find on this forum and Microsoft site.
Now I have a working properly Windows 7 and all it's updates. Also when I check for Windows 7 Updates it searches for 3 min. and states their are no new updates. :)
Also a big thank you to ThrashZone.
I'm trying to get the bad taste of W-10 out of my mouth and not even Maker's Mark is helping.
Maybe I need more treatments of Maker's Mark.
It's time to celebrate.
