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?

    VZ: No, I lied and I was going to try it now, then realized I don't know how to open a Command prompt as administrator and run sfc/scannow. Or what I would do with thehttps://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

    Sorry for being so low tech! Can you tell me how, please?

    ElderN: Thank you for the good response. I tried the first suggestion in your list, but not all the others.

    I'm a little afraid of making things worse rather than better. I appreciated your comment to someone else about leaving automatic updates turned off as I've experienced problems with that too...having to restore to a previous time.

    Yes, so far the list of questions from PA Bear has gone nowhere and taken a lot of time. He has now asked me not to respond to him anymore.

    I'm teaching pretty much 24/7 (online as well as onsite) so I'll follow up on, I think it's Volume Z, and see if s/he has something to add.

    Love your quote about teachers.

    Thank you. PA Bear wants out. I'll do as you suggest on Monday.

    I'm teaching every day including Saturday. Then playing dead on Sunday.

    Thanks for getting back to me. I will follow through on that.

    Perhaps you might reply to one of the OP's posts instead of mine?
