Ghazi Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I had a problem that after installation Windows 7 was continuously searching for updates and was getting no where. Also Due to the Windows Update service I was facing high RAM problems. Gladly found a solution. I am sharing this method which I read from https://forums.techguy.org/threads/windows-update-wont-finish.1164362/. All credits go to them. For me the high RAM uasge became normal when I installed WindowsUpdateAgent 7.6. After installing KB3112343 the windows update did its magic. The method is Windows update is kinda broken at the moment. You need to manually install several updates before Windows Update works properly. I found a solution on the WSUS Offline forums last month once I came across this issue and if the searching for updates never finishes on several new installs of Windows 7, it seems to affect online Windows Updates, the unofficial Offline WSUS, and WSUS servers. Install these in order and reboot as requested. Use only the matching 32-bit or 64-bit version for your system. - WindowsUpdateAgent-7.6-*.exehttp://download.windowsupdate.com/w...e/7.6.7600.320/WindowsUpdateAgent-7.6-x86.exehttp://download.windowsupdate.com/w...e/7.6.7600.320/WindowsUpdateAgent-7.6-x64.exe <reboot> - KB3112343https://download.microsoft.com/down...759-D42147C990D3/Windows6.1-KB3112343-x86.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...199-5B335EE092F6/Windows6.1-KB3112343-x64.msu <reboot> - KB3087039https://download.microsoft.com/down...699-3CF15C7EF836/Windows6.1-KB3087039-x86.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...965-AA57F8C44FA4/Windows6.1-KB3087039-x64.msu - KB3078601https://download.microsoft.com/down...8FA-4F52D6E22172/Windows6.1-KB3078601-x86.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...5B1-25EEBB1A24B8/Windows6.1-KB3078601-x64.msu - KB3124275 (Install the version that matches your Internet Explorer version, I recommend you install IE11 first)https://download.microsoft.com/down...716-DD3D1442986F/Windows6.1-KB3124275-x86.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...357-EB5453DB053A/Windows6.1-KB3124275-x64.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...C60A131640CA/IE9-Windows6.1-KB3124275-x86.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...E535790058F7/IE9-Windows6.1-KB3124275-x64.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...BF1167647E7/IE10-Windows6.1-KB3124275-x86.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...4BBCC66D6FC/IE10-Windows6.1-KB3124275-x64.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...2C60CC73F5F/IE11-Windows6.1-KB3124275-x86.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...CD141F8B48A/IE11-Windows6.1-KB3124275-x64.msu - KB3109094https://download.microsoft.com/down...55E-71B0EAF79E0E/Windows6.1-KB3109094-x86.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...43F-FB5C9B686183/Windows6.1-KB3109094-x64.msu - KB3124000https://download.microsoft.com/down...C6F-8F61A479FBC6/Windows6.1-KB3124000-x86.msuhttps://download.microsoft.com/down...138-62FCDCF3C93F/Windows6.1-KB3124000-x64.msu <reboot> This is taken from WSUS Offline Forums: http://forums.wsusoffline.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5366 I also found that you need restart the Windows Update Service before running the patches or they get hung up searching as well.

Maybe is new micro$oft's trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesDDI Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Windows update from a fresh Windows 7 install is really slow, almost endless. Probably it's a new "trick" to induce people to update to 10. Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably it's a new "trick" to induce people to update to 10. Sure. just grab updates the first time using WSUS offline updates and install them. After installing those next check for updates will be as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
