    Sorry!  I should have stated the date as 03 Dec 2017.  That would have eliminated the confusion.

    As far as I know, Microsoft has fixed the date in their servers, or this fix would not have worked.  This was just a way to get Windows Update ( in the users computers) working long enough to download the fix.  It seems to work fine after this, now that the date is back to normal.

    Took about an hour but appears to have worked.

    Took some working out that date was in American format!

    Did not work with date at 03/12/2017, (worried it might have been 12th March!)

    But tried 02/12/2017 and success.

    Just hope proper fix appears soon.

    I had to roll the date back to 12/02/2017 before WU would function. Everything else was spot on!

    Thanks!

    The simplest solution appears to be:

    1.       Set the date on the Windows 7 computer to 12/03/2017.  This is before the expiration date.

    2.       Restart the computer.

    3.       Run Windows Update (which should now be running).

    4.       Check for updates, download any critical and important updates and install them.

    5.       Restart the computer.

    6.       With the date still set to 12/03/2017. Check to make sure Windows update is still working.  It should be OK.

    7.       Change the date back to the current date.

    8.       Restart the computer.

    9.       Verify that Windows Update works properly.

    This fix apparently works at least 90 percent of the time and doesn’t seem to hurt anything even if it doesn’t work.

    I should've known better than to delete the contents of my SoftwareDistribution folder!

    Oh well. seems like its fixed now until the next Microsoft problem arises...
