BrianDrab Emeritus Joined Oct 20, 2014 Posts 18,131 Location United States Mar 20, 2018 #143 Go ahead and restore all the files from the 2/7/18 backup to their original locations in c:\windows\system32\DriverStore . So they should restore and overwrite the files within this directory. Let me know when complete.

BrianDrab Emeritus Joined Oct 20, 2014 Posts 18,131 Location United States Mar 20, 2018 #151 OK, I suggest you try a repair install. You won't be booting to your media, you will simply put it in your machine and run the setup from there. Please review and then follow the steps below. Let me know if you have any questions during this process. Repair Install - Windows 7 Help Forums

S Susanbeth111 Well-known member Joined Mar 3, 2018 Posts 99 Location Strathroy,on Mar 22, 2018 #152 I finished the repair install and updated 32 drivers. I then updated 250 patches and the only error so far was for kb982670 which is an update for net client. I have hidden it and everything seems OK. Microsoft does not even offer kb4074598 through the regular download. Do you still want me to try the install of the standalone
