Windows 7 Problem in fixing "stuck" updates

[Hesham3del]

Hi,

I have a problem in fixing "stuck" updates on windows 7​

Link Removed due to 404 Error


Link Removed due to 404 Error

As you can see,

1) Every time I shut the windows, it says it's configuring and installing updates.
When I run windows again and want to shut it down, I enter the loop again !!

2) You can see that I have 3 updates for a 1 update, and the description of the 3 updates are the same

When I update and restart windows, I say to myself it will install this updates and I will not find them again when I update the windows as they are already installed

I was a liar and they still exist even after updating as I said

How can I solve this infinity loop !!​

It seems like you're experiencing a frustrating issue with stuck updates on Windows 7, leading to a loop of installing updates every time you restart your computer. Here are some steps you can take to address this problem:

Steps to Fix Stuck Updates on Windows 7:​

1. Check for Windows Update Errors:
   • First, check if there are any errors related to Windows Update. You can do this by accessing the Windows Update history.
   []Stop the Windows Update Service:
   • Open the Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands to stop the Windows Update service:

      net stop wuauserv net stop bits

   []Clear the Windows Update Cache:
   • To clear the Windows Update cache, you need to delete the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder. This folder stores temporary files related to Windows updates.
     • Stop the Windows Update service using the commands above.
     • Navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and delete all the files and folders inside.
   []Restart the Windows Update Service:
   • After clearing the cache, restart the Windows Update service using the following commands:

      net start wuauserv net start bits

   []Run Windows Update Again:
   • Try running Windows Update again to see if the issue is resolved. Check if the updates install correctly without getting stuck in a loop.
   []Install Updates Manually:
   • If the above steps don't work, try installing the updates manually. You can download the update files from the Microsoft Update Catalog and install them on your system.
   []Run System File Checker (SFC) Tool:
   • You can run the System File Checker tool to scan and repair corrupt system files that may be causing the update issues.
     • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the command:

        sfc /scannow

   []Check for Malware:
   • Sometimes malware can interfere with Windows Update. Run a full system scan using your antivirus software to check for any malicious programs.
   []Consider Upgrading to a Newer Windows Version:
   • Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft. Consider upgrading to a newer version of Windows to ensure you receive security updates and support. By following these steps, you can hopefully resolve the issue of stuck updates on Windows 7 and break out of the update loop. Let me know if you need further assistance!
