[SOLVED] Win7 Update Troubles & Beyond

Looks like it's all good...IE 11 is failing (for now), but I'm thinking it will go in later (after it gets all updates successfully). 11th time's a charm... Thanks again for the assist.

[SOLVED] Win7 Update Troubles & Beyond

OK, it took longer than I thought it would...the 216 updates went in and installed (1st time ever on this pc), but now I'm fighting a 80070057 error (& had to install NET Framework manually). I've got it looking for updates now... If I can't get it going I'll open a new topic. (Got to head for...

Install #11 in place; updates are found (216) and downloading. Results @ 5pm central time (assuming it's done by then).

[SOLVED] Win7 Update Troubles & Beyond

I was hoping to avoid this, as updates have given me a LOT of trouble in the previous installs. However, I now have lots of practice and quite a few tricks. So I'll do it anyway. Having said that, don't be surprised if I come back soon with a new set of issues... And thank you so much for all...

[SOLVED] Win7 Update Troubles & Beyond

Of course. That was the very first thing I did. From three separate sources. And then I noticed the default drivers (i.e., those that load when all others have been uninstalled) are from MicroSoft. You know, as in Windows MicroSoft - those guys. So I don't think there should have been a...

You know how they say "some computers might have an issue with...(whatever)"? Well, they're talking about this Dell 1555...if it's possible to have an issue, this computer WILL have that issue.

[SOLVED] Win7 Update Troubles & Beyond

New developments: I discovered USB ports (all) are not working with mass storage (thumb drives, external HDD) because of driver error 52, unsigned drivers. The drivers are from MicroSoft, so I think it means that Win7 is corrupt in an area that deals with driver sigs. USB ports do work if I...

Also, giving you an old log file would constitute "not following directions". When I tell you I will follow your request to the letter, I mean I intend to be anal about it. It will be done exactly per your instruction with NO deviation.

[SOLVED] Win7 Update Troubles & Beyond

I ran sfc (as per your request) and when it finished it indicated some files could not be fixed. I then posted the resulting log. That is why I think it's odd that you say it is clean...because sfc said corrupted files. But then, I don't really know how it is supposed to work, either.

To your question above: I followed your instructions carefully and sent you the file immediately after running sfc. (If I can't / won't follow instructions, this exercise is pointless, right?) So yes, since you have kindly taken the time to assist, I will follow your instructions to the letter...

CheckSUR is clean... CheckSUR.log - Google Drive A question (or two) for you: when I ran sfc, it came back with some corrupt files cannot be fixed... 1. why doesn't that leave something in the cbs log? is that normal? 2. doesn't the other error (80070490) point to cbs issues? Again...

[SOLVED] Win7 Update Troubles & Beyond

Sorry for the misunderstanding... Windows updates are (finally) loading beautifully and the updates system is behaving well. The Windows Update issue is solved. I have only two issues remaining, which (I believe) were caused by updates, and (I believe) are related: 1. SFC reports corrupt files...

To the extent that troubleshooters can be repaired in place...error 80070490. I have come to the conclusion that the updates cause the problem, so any solution that involves reinstalling updates is not viable... Is that possible, or am I wrong?
