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?

    Scroll to the top of page 3 or the bottom of page 2

    We need a willing participant you need to want to help yourself otherwise we're just chatting :)

    Good luck

    I'm sure there are repair shops in your area like BestBuy...... seek help with them if you don't feel comfortable following directions :)

    Sure. I just thought your comment to respond to the messages from others meant no more you.

    I await your words of wisdom.

    Might as well looks as though questions sorted as you do are the only thing the op thinks will do no more harm :)

    PA Bear wants out...He has now asked me not to respond to him anymore.

    I didn't say any of the above. You've tried suggestions posted by at least two (2) others so I've been waiting to see if one of them had any more suggestions before posting any further suggestions of my own. If you're ready for mine now, just let me know.

    Usually human error,

    Paste this information here,

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=52012

    If the other discussion was preformed then both updates KB3020369 & KB3172605 have successfully installed.

    Then I would also reset the update system and services afterwards

    Use Option 3 here for an automated way to do this,

    This M$ one bites but if you insist :p

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058

    I personally prefer this one it's much better just a little more user interaction,

    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.

    Please try the above as well

    The sfc /scannow link is for win-10

    See this for a more accurate win-7 process
