Is Windows 7 Update not working or is it just my computer? I have been trying for a couple of days to use it but it just sits there in the "search" mode. I just tried my old Windows 7 install on the old hard drive and its not updating either. I tried the Microsoft "Fix It" on line scan and it said it didn't fix my Update problem.Well, I don't THINK is is very important.

But.. here is what you need to know...

Windows Update: FAQ

View a list of updates installed on your computer

Does taht help any?  I ran the Microsoft "Fix It" on-line program and it I had this that it couldn't fix, "Windows® 7 Update Error Code 0x8024402C". So I looked that up and am in the process of researching it. I found these, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/883821 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzZaRVqKHfo. It's progress I think.   Well the issue is solved. I let the computer run all night with the Windows Update on searching for updates. It sure found them. This morning when I got up it said it couldn't install the updates, progress, at least if found them. So I selected all but one, agree to two license agreements and went off to WORK. When I got home it had paused at installing the second update because it needed me to make some selections, I did and on it went. I looked at the list of installed updates when it was done and there were between 30 and 40 successful updates, only two failed which I will look into later. So it's all good.  Good NEWS sloan...sometimes it is best to simply walk AWAY from the PC for awhile...
Glad yer fixed up.
