Fresh Win 7 install...but, auto updates not working?....the fix. - 11/18/16 09:45 PM
Good evening....(in my best Alfred Hitchcock voice)
Per my other thread I just did a fresh install of Win 7.0 32bit.
The issue: "Windows was unable to install auto updates"....it just refused to work.
After much web searching I just got it fixed.
This worked for me: do the below in sequence.
After doing so it may take a 1/2 or so for the little red flag in the task bar to go away and the auto updates to start.
Download and Install IE11. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-11-for-windows-7-details.aspx)
2. Restart your computer.
3. Download the KB3102810 update but not install it yet (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3102810)
4. Restart your computer again
5.Install the KB3102810
6. Restart
7. Stop Windows Update Service and Delete the “SoftwareDistribution” folder.
8. Restart your computer.
9. Search for updates. (I just waited and did NOT do a manual search request)

Maybe this will help someone having the same issue.
