[mental block]

My windows 7 update just says updating, and sits there. I've tried windows update fix but it didn't work. does anyone have a solution to this get windows updating working again. I read something about the windows update 7 library got corrupt on ms website site?

You might need to reset your Windows Update components.

read the whole post and i'll work fine. have not had any issues with win 7 update after using this roll-up. back to a minute or 2 to get newer updates once i got this much done.

I have tried the above without succuess after leaving the laptop on all day and night. I've tried it on a fast wireless connection. I will try the same thing on a lan.

I also installed the newest version of windows update because it was suppose to reduce search times.

I will look over the other thread and look over how to get up to date.

Ok working.

I list the order on how I installed the files from 1-5. After installing update 5 the windows update icon popped up in the taskbar. I will restarted and see if I get additional updates.

1. WindowsUpdateAgent-7.6-x64.exe

2. Convenience Rollup .vbs

Option Explicit
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
Dim oReg : Set oReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\default:StdRegProv")
Dim oShell : Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim sPath, aSub, sKey, aSubToo, sKeyToo, dwValue, Result, SaveResult
Dim NotDeleted

NotDeleted = 0

' Get all keys within sPath
sPath = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI"
oReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sPath, aSub

' Loop through each key
For Each sKey In aSub
' Get all subkeys within the key 'sKey'
oReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sPath & "\" & sKey, aSubToo
For Each sKeyToo In aSubToo
Result = oReg.DeleteKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, sPath & "\" & sKey & "\" & sKeyToo & "\" & "\Device Parameters" & "\SlotPersistentInfo")
' Allow failure only if key never existed
If (Result = 1) Or (Result > 2) Then
NotDeleted = 1
SaveResult = Result
End If
Next
Next

If (NotDeleted > 0) Then
Wscript.Echo "One or more SlotPersistentInfo keys still exist under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\<deviceid>\<subdeviceid>\Device Parameters. Please delete manually. Result = " & Result
End If

once the roll-up is done, i have not had any real issues with windows update for win 7. you should be able to get the newer ones after that fairly easily.

do note that part in the post about the telemetry updates. i did not bother trying to skip them, just installed anti-spy and let it block it all. was easier to me.
