[Sysnative Windows Update]

Great! Fixed! Any other issues?

 

[kooleraid]

These failed updates would be a good start.




I downloaded each manually and tried to install from the earliest to the latest one by one and each and everyone gives this error:
"The update does not apply to your system"

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

When you check for updates which list as needed to be installed?

 

[kooleraid]

Windows Updates itself still has the following to go about 26 updates which I have NOT attempted yet.
I have been installing them in yearly batches.
So when I did 2017 patches in last round, the 10 in the above list I gave you failed.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Attempt only the first one on the list and attach CBS.log if it fails.

 

[kooleraid]

So the first update of the 26 pending installed successfully.
However the 10 failed updates previously still show as failed.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Okey, continue installing the updates top to bottom. When one fails, attach CBS.log.

 

[kooleraid]

All 26/26 remaining previously not attempted windows updates processed successfully.
There are no further updates available in windows update.
The previously failed 10 software updates are still in failed status:

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

That doesn't matter. That's just showing that they failed before. If there's no further issues (failing updates), I will conclude the topic.

 

[kooleraid]

Thank you for your help! Have a great day!

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

No problem. Have a great day yourself!

 

[kooleraid]

Quick question - does the site have any forums for help with certificate issues? I have AIA and CRL issues in CertServices?

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Start a thread in our Windows 7 forum, and someone will try to assist. I will take a peek and see if I can help.
