ThE iNsAnE Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi, So i freshly installed windows 7 ultimate SP1, however i just can't get the windows update to work. It always returns with errors. Tried reinstalling but same issue. Tried a fix from github with automated update fix script but even then the update doesn't work. It just doesn't search for update and displays errors. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uffbros Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Probably because Windows 7 stopped updating few years ago but there is someone that makes a program that will get you up to date.

MrZeb Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi, A fresh install of Windows 7 needs lots of updates the following page contains the list of updates that should be manually installed to help Windows Update start working... http://wu.krelay.de/en/ Another solution is to install an update package 'Simplix UpdatePack 7' that contains all the updates needed https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/simplix_updatepack.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mp68terr Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Nothing against majorgeeks, but why not using the author's page link (even if it's in Russian): https://blog.simplix.info/updatepack7r2/ Have been using this app for years, working fine for those still under win7. Prefer the slipstream install into win7 iso though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThE iNsAnE Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 @uffbros, @MrZeb, @donkey-girl, @mp68terr so basically all of you recommended the SIMPLIX UPDATE PACKAGE! Well, i installed it. Now i guess the windows is updated till the last simplix pack date. However, the windows built-in updater still doesn't work. Is it just me or has microsoft killed the built-in updater? Any way to make it work? 2 hours ago, haris_sane69 said: May be this can help https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/solution-long-scan-issue-with-windows-update-in-windows-7-sp1.70592/ OR Try Microsoft Windows 7 English August 2016 Media Refresh ISO(Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit) Link: https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/1/9/5195A765-3A41-4A72-87D8-200D897CBE21/7601.24214.180801-1700.win7sp1_ldr_escrow_CLIENT_ULTIMATE_x64FRE_en-us.iso MD5: 8ce237e3d43ccfb41bfe32ccd4420e10 Regards Yes i have the integrated updates iso. It is updated till august 2018. Some 5.7gigs size. However, many users in different forums adviced to install from the regular windows 7 iso. They adviced not to use the august 2018 version. Not clear why.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uffbros Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 January 14,2020 Windows 7 was no longer supported. They did continue some kind of paid support to get security updates. What you are getting is those updates thru Simplex....There is no Windows update thru the Windows Update we do Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not clear why The ISO link I shared to you is released by MICROSOFT itself which is updated until August 2016. It includes IE11 and Microsoft.net Framework 4.7.2. but lacks NVMe hotfixes, storage controllers and USB 3.0 drivers. I tested it on my frienda system & there was no issue\error in downloading updates through Windows Updates. PS: You'll get updates till January 2020 not the latest Feburary 2021.

Because you may have problems in activating it because of a false KB released,which was released (Activation issue in Windows 7 after update). You may be required to uninstall it accordingly. You may encounter an error "“Windows is not genuine“" Regards Hopefully the error was resolved in the later updates, never had time to test this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyy Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The error code 80072EE2 relates to:- Code (dec.): 80072 Code (hex.): 0x000138C8 Facility: FACILITY_DEBUGGER (0x01) Severity: STATUS_SEVERITY_SUCCESS (0x00) Don't know if that means something to the clever guys here.

ThE iNsAnE Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 @haris_sane69bro this time i set the updates settings to just "check for updates" rather than automatically download and install. Just like you did in your screens. Surprisingly this time i got the updates however i did not download and install as yet. Don't know what the problem was but i was trying for last 3 days without any success till now. Hopefully it should download and install normally. I have the same version of windows that you installed. Thanks for your efforts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this time it worked by changing the WU settings from "automatically install" to just "check for updates" Don't know why it happened but this was the only change i made before WU could search for updates.
