photonica Contributor Joined Jul 25, 2019 Posts 29 Sep 7, 2019 #50 that worked, I will try the update again.
photonica Contributor Joined Jul 25, 2019 Posts 29 Sep 7, 2019 #52 That update finished. I have had that update or one like it failing for about a year, each time I would restart my computer it would try to install an update and then roll back the update and restart. I developed a habit of leaving my computer on just so I did not have to go through that every single time. finally I got sick of the issue and decided to fix it as I work on windows machines every day. I am very thankful for your service. during the process with the other Gent I also noticed my programs and features menu was empty and corrupt, over the course of this repair with you that has returned to good health. Please accept my Gratitude. do you recommend doing the optional updates as well ?

S Sysnative Windows Update Inactive Joined Oct 9, 2014 Posts 773 Sep 7, 2019 #53 Thanks for the kind words. We were happy to help! No, I would not do optional updates as they can often cause issues. I would recommend you upgrade to Windows 10 as Windows 7 is going to end its support in 4 months.
