Windows 7 Service Pack 1 - 64 Bit, issues with Windows Update & Boot DVD!

(1/6) > >>

GuruSR:
First, tried the repair AIO to see about a few things, the relinking of things solved issues I didn't know were there (that I saw anyways) and I did try the WMI repair, which blew up Windows Update completely and didn't solve the issues (System Restore put it back to beforehand).  I'm not really seeing a ton of issues, but I'll list them below:

1.  WMI error:  Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.
2.  Windows Update *WORKS*, but seems to not be able to talk to the UAC for Settings changes OR Hiding Updates.  The Settings "OK" and "Hide update" are not greyed out and show the UAC shield icon!  You can click on the Ok in Settings so long as you haven't made any changes, if you DID make changes, clicking Ok does nothing (well, it flashes to show you pushed it).  Hide Update also does nothing.  But, it *IS* installing updates properly.  And I had to install gpedit.msc just to change the time settings on Windows Update.
3.  Post Windows 7 SP1+ Convenience Rollup, my DVD can no longer be used for recovery or "Repair", as it states instantly that the version of Windows I'm trying to repair is different from the version of Windows on my DVD (which was used to initially install it).
4.  Now this isn't an issue, but something is leaving the registry open at logoff, no clue how to track that to see if a fix can be found for that.

I did try your Windows Update repair, all it did was remove the history and let me rescan, the Settings & Hide updates are still selectable and do nothing.

Your install disk needs to include SP1 to perform a repair install.

As I assume you have a valid retail key then you can download an ISO that includes SP 1 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7

Enter your product key into the box lower down and if it accepts it, it will authorise the ISO download for your version - select Save.

The ISO download for Win 7 x64 is about 3.09GB

You can then use the Windows USB/DVD Burner Tool to create the bootable media of your choice.

I'll clarify the Windows install.

The DVD is a Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
The Windows install is a Windows 7 Service Pack 1 + Convenience Rollup + the rest of the updates past it.

The DVD doesn't work with the installed version of Windows for "Repair", complains instantly as noted.

We don't really know what's in those Cumulative Rollup updates and we've had two for Win 7, although I know someone on another forum who has just done a repair install with that ISO.

October's Rollup was KB3185330 and November's was KB3197868.

The former doesn't show up in my Win 7 Installed Updates but the latter does which you can right click on and select Uninstall, but I would still download that ISO from MS as it may have been updated.

GuruSR:
You'll notice I said SP1 + "Convenience Rollup" (Found here https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/kb/3125574).  That I believe has caused most of the issues, except the Windows Update and WMI ones.
