Windows Update never downloads important updates

cesmart4125 · Apr 20, 2016

Windows Update runs and runs, but important and recommended updates are never downloaded. Windows 7 Pro, Intel Core 2 duo 1.8 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Office 2010 Pro

No error messages appear.

Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Aura,

Thanks for your response.

I followed the steps for the SURT tutorial through to number 4 in step 4. Double clicking on CBS did not lead to the appearance of CheckSUR.log.

I'd appreciate your advice on where to go next.

Did you execute SURT? How long did it run for?
