1429024	2016-11-21 20:07:00	I know it has been discussed several times here before but again I just fail to get the updates for this fresh new install of Win7 x86 (yes, it's 32 bit system as one of the the old programs doesn't like 64 bit). I have tried all sorts of tricks and fixed but just couldn't get it to pass the " ... Checking for updates ..." KB3138612-x64.msu won't work as this is a 32bit install. MS is driving me crazy ...	bk T (215)

In Bold -- Errrrrrr yeah it wont, notice the one listed says X64 and your OS is 32bit ? You will need KB3138612-x86 You need the X86 update -support.microsoft.com That's the download page to select which one you want. :)	wainuitech (129)
1429026	2016-11-21 21:04:00	I downloaded the x86 as in your link, run it, but strangely, a small windows opens: " Windows Updates Standalone installer Searching for updates on this computer ... " ... and is still searching ... back to the drawing board.	bk T (215)
1429027	2016-11-21 21:06:00	I'm seeing this issue more & more , especially on re-installs & Win7 PC's that havnt been on for a few months Heres what I do, for me , just the single patch doesnt allways do the trick : in fact Ive never fixed this issue just with a single patch :) make sure its SP1 *** set winupdates to never, restart win & stop (not disable) WindowsUpdate service : otherwise just running the patches will cause it sit on to "looking for updates" *** disconnect from internet if possible (not needed if stop the update service) install patch KB3020369 install convenience rollup KB3125574 : this is all updates untill May download & install July rollup : this has a update fix not included in Aug rollup download & install install Aug rollup download & install install sept, Oct, Nov update rollups now Set Windows updates to auto(or notify) & run Winupdates via the usual wizard thingy	1101 (13337)

" ... and is still searching ... back to the drawing board. often does that, yet another bug set winupdates to never check, restart PC & turn stop the Windowsupdate service (services.msc) . Disconnect from internet if possible .	1101 (13337)
1429029	2016-11-23 02:42:00	I give up! Anyway, thanks folks for the suggestions.	bk T (215)
1429030	2016-11-23 04:54:00	Just having a play at the moment, just downloaded a New ISO of W7 x86, gonna try a few things, if it works I'll give ya some options. If it doesn't I "might" ;) say some bad words :D	wainuitech (129)
1429031	2016-11-23 05:47:00	You need to restart the computer and then run that update immediately. Also have the computer disconnected from the network/internet.	CYaBro (73)
1429032	2016-11-23 20:00:00	On one hand Microsoft emphasises so much on Windows updates, but on the other hand MS makes it almost impossible to get the updates! What the hell is all this about?	bk T (215)
1429033	2016-11-23 20:18:00	On one hand Microsoft emphasises so much on Windows updates, but on the other hand MS makes it almost impossible to get the updates! What the hell is all this about? If its any consolation, The install I did last night is doing the same as yours. Working on it though - Well will be after doing some real work. :) The problem is that Windows 7 is no longer supported, its gone end of life, its gone the exact same way as XP.	wainuitech (129)
