Clean Win 7 install update not working

Stasi 2.0

Like the title says I did a fresh install of Win 7 (64 bit SP1 ) but cant do any updates -it says "searching for updates" but nothing else happens
.

Tried various tools off Microsoft website but am no further on. All I've managed so far is to update IE to ver 11

Edit: Tried this page too but got "an add-on from this website failed to run"

The KB947821 update seemed to work but not the other two.


Adds: I have (mainly through aimless faffing about) managed to install the following

KB2505454
KB2533623
KB2534111
KB2639308
KB2685811
KB2729094
KB2731771
KB2786081
KB2834140
KB2882822
KB2888049
KB3020369
KB3947821
KB947821
KB958488
KB976902
Windows Update Agent 76.7600.320
Internet Explorer 11

But still cant get any further on.

KB3020369 is a strange one when I ran it it just seemed to just try (unsuccessfully) to download something but yet its showing as successfully installed in my update history Winver still reports I'm running SP! Build 7601

WTF are Micro$oft at ? They're always banging on about the importance of updating ones O/S install and yet have totally b@ll$e$d up the process for doing so ? :mad: Are they trying to force people towards Windows 10 ?

Adds: I notive my NVIDIA video card driver is telling my a updated driver is available but is having trouble downloading same. -Could something be blocking updates in general from downloading ?

Try this site www.winhelp.us Was in same situation as yourself & got some help here

Windows 7 updating has been screwed up for over a year now. You pretty much need to leave it checking overnight, if not longer!

For this month only, installing this update should help. Microsoft are changing the way they deliver updates for Windows 7 this month so hopefully that will put an end to this.

Thanks guys got it sorted after much faffing about.

Bloody ridiculous situation. Micro$oft need to sort their $h1t out.
