1420649 2016-05-17 21:42:00 Looks like MS have released a "convenient rollup update" KB3125574 (support.microsoft.com) which includes every update since SP1 was released.

You can only download it from the Windows catalog site. This includes every update up to April this year.

Note: You have to use IE to use this site

1420650 2016-05-18 00:07:00 Wow, awesome. I did not expect MS to do that. That will save a lot of time on Win7 installs. wratterus (105)

1420656 2016-05-19 02:37:00 I've just tried this, and unfortunately it still seems to 'scan' for updates before installing. On a brand new PC with 8GB RAM and a SSD it's been going for over 3 hours, svchost maxed out using 4GB of RAM or something. So MS really haven't helped much by doing this...

The only thought I have would be to try installing it offline and see if it actually works.

1420657 2016-05-19 23:08:00 Yeah and neither of those updates will install offline. Nice work with the useless patch, MS. :badpc: wratterus (105)
1420658 2016-05-20 06:15:00 Yeah and neither of those updates will install offline. Nice work with the useless patch, MS. :badpc:

I thinkthere is a prerequisite KB3020369 that has to have been installed?
