Windows 7 is a wonderful operating system. It is beautiful, fast and is packed with very interesting features. However, all this does not means that it is without its problems. Users have reported a number of problems including problems with updates, interface, etc. In this article we will try to cover some of the common Windows 7 update problems, but before we go into further detail, a general point to be remembered is that the first thing one should do when encountering a problem is to check out the Windowsupdate.log file. This file contains a lot of important information that will allow understanding of the problem.
First, let us talk about a few Windows 7 update problems related to update of the SP 1. Sometimes, the Windows 7 service pack 1 update fails. The solution to this problem largely depends on what type of error you are receiving. Before doing anything specific, you can attempt to clear the problem through two generic solutions. Firstly, you can try fixing the problem using the Windows' troubleshooter: click on the Start orb, select Control Panel > Troubleshooting and there the Fix problems with Windows Update link. Secondly, you can try the System Update Readiness tool for Windows 7. You can download the tool from the website of Microsoft. The code for the update is KB947821. Download the tool compatible with your system (32-bit or 64-bit). This tool checks your system for inconsistencies that are hindering the update process.
Windows 7 update problems can some time also spring up due to your browser. It has been reported that Windows fails to update with a beta version of Internet Explorer 8. The error encountered is as follows "The site cannot continue because one or more of these Windows services is not running," Error number: 0x8DDD0018. A workaround that has been suggested is that you set the 'Automatic Updates' and 'Background Intelligent Transfer Service' to automatic.
Windows 7 update problems can also present themselves because of connection problems to the update server. Windows update is known to use its own proxy server which can interfere with the update process. Often, changing this server can solve the problem. Here is how: Start Menu> Accessories> command prompt> right click> run as administrator> Enter [netsh]> Enter [winhttp]> Enter [import proxy source=ie]. This will import the proxy setting of Internet Explorer (direct access or configured proxy) and should solve the problem.
