update Window 7 Professional

Only updates that include the 64 info in the title of the update are being allowed to successfully update. The code was 6BB, then changed to a #d one, but I didn't get that written down. I've tried the download of the Repair.bat as administrator and that didn't work. I've run

Troubleshooters that have come up and they think they've fixed everything, but still only a few updates can download. This has been true since February. I thought they were downloading as I've re-tried updating previously and eventually the update window will say "no new important updates"--but those still had failed...updater just seems to have given up on them.

Help! I bought this hard drive for $800 last year to replace the one with Vista that was always difficult. That plus the tech's hours make this an expensive mistake. Does anyone know how to fix this without reloading Win 7?

    TZ--thx for hanging in

    I have no "extract all" option when I right click--what option should I use?

    I put it on desktop and it doesn't offer the option to run as administrator.

    I do already have a Reset_Windows_Update_Full icon on my desktop that I tried as "run as administrator" which didn't change the problem.

    Yea you can use google or bing search for each KB# and will see a M$ article for the update

    Just follow the download link and download and manually install them.

    The most relevant for you might be this one

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3179573

    In a perfect world they would come to you

    I believe I already suggested the windows update service reset utility and you didn't want to do it

    Here it is again if you changed your mind and want to give it a go

    Try using this to reset the update system it's very good,

    Use Option 2 on the list after right clicking it and select run as administrator

    https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Reset-Windows-Update-Agent-d824badc

    Download it to your downloads folder

    Right click it and select Extract all to the downloads folder.

    Then right click ResetWUEng and select run as administrator

    Follow the rest of the prompts

    Press any key to continue

    Type 2 for that Option on the list and the Enter key to reset update services..

    Press y for Yes and then the Enter key I believe twice

    After it has completed

    Type 15 for that option and the Enter key to restart the machine.

    Should say will restart in 60 seconds save your work.... press any key to continue.

    After restart go to windows updates and manually check for updates shouldn't take a few minutes.

    ThrashZone:

    Is there somewhere I can request those specific Win 7 x64 updates? I don't have any you have listed in my installed updates.

    Thanks for suggestions on windows updates settings.

    PA Bear:

    Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 will not allow me to select "Change" in Programs & Features

    Yes, security updates.

    Is it possible that this is being caused by Kaspersky interfering with security updates?
