Original Title: Windows 7 Updates Fail

The updates for Microsoft Security Essentials install successfully.  The Security updates and the updates for Windows 7 fail.  I have tried many of the recommendations after reading the discussions.  No network problems have been noted; Fixit finds no problems to be fixed.  I tried the Win update problem detection troubleshooter.  It fixed a few issues but these remain unfixed:  Win Update error ox80070057 (2014-04-06-T-03_27_14p); Problems installing recent updates.  I would appreciate additional suggestions.  Thank you.

    I've been having the exact same issues with 7 home premium SP1 since the update for KB2600217 failed on 7/11/2015.

    I retrying all the fixes above again but IMO I think MS is forcing us into 10

    FYI - MS safety scanner page does not load in Firefox 40.00.2 and had to run it in IE 11.09. I I gave up on IE once I figured out every web site I go to looks better in FireFox

    My work PC with 8.0 has had 10 ready to download  for about 2 weeks but my home laptop with 7 which I scheduled 3 weeks before the 8.0 pc is still waiting.

    I've been using Microsoft since DOS 1.0 and still have the floppies to prove it

    Gerry -

    This is not the response I was hoping for, but I will proceed with planning to restore my operating system to factory settings.  It will take awhile, and I will report the results.  In the meantime, thank you for your extraordinary support during this period.
