I would love to know how much Internet bandwidth usage occurs due to MS Updates ....

 

Windows 7x64 Sp1 IE11..
13 important updates selected, 156.7MB

holy...moses....

UPdate: if you try to offline download the links they don't work I tried all last night and finally resorted to looking google for each and searching the technet to find the updates and downloaded them and updated and reimaged and now it works. I think MS doesn't want users to offline download the M$ updates. What a bunch of loosers....

Looks like M$ servers are on Downtime currently for 3-11-2015 right now taking forever to bring up technet pages of the updates....

 

I do not think as much as it seems. We techies are about 5%, if that, of users. Most like my Daughter, son-n-law, x-bro-n-law, x-inlaws and the like can even skip months without their systems getting updated. In fact my son-n-law went 11 months without an update before he had so many issues he couldn't use the system. He thought he had a virus and when I saw it trying to update I told him you can't go that long just with using the system for like 5-10 minutes a day and shutting down.

I am sure they bank on this as well. If their servers were flooded all at once then I am sure issues would show up. even as it is when the updates first come out the downloads can be quite slow.

 

Five security updates for Win 7 64 would not update for me this time. All have error 80073712. Doing search on Google for that and there are several suggested fixes. I guess I will try one at a time unless someone here has a better idea.

 

Very true - come to think of it, I doubt my parent's computer would be up to date without me doing it for them.

That's what I usually do - one at a time. I'd do them in the order they're listed in the Windows update window.

P.S. here's a handy shortcut for getting Windows Update to open. [Windows key] + [R], type wuapp and press [Enter].

 

Yea, the big issue is if it is not done there could be over 100 updates and with slow systems, slow internet connections and even slower HDD's how many people think the system is locked up and unrecoverable. This is the bad of them not placing further service pack updates on Windows 7. With a SP an accumulative update would be done and it did not give the appearance of a dead system. All of a sudden placing 100+ background updates where some may even fail, OMG. It can give me headaches let alone a mom or pop.

 

Well, this one is causing my problems: KB3033929. (43.7mb) Seems other people are having problems with this one also:

http://www.myce.com/news/user-compl...-bootloops-another-windows-update-flaw-75352/

I'm not getting bootloops but it will not install.

 

And if you read also there are those that have nothing related to endless looping as well...

 

In this case this is why I turn on their Windows Update to auto update so everytime they used it - it will check and update windows for them reducing your job doing the updating for them...

 

Unfortunately this does not always work. As in my daughter and friends etc. they usually only turn the system on for a short period to do whatever and then shut it off or let it sleep/hibernate. They do most of their consumption on phones or tablets. Their patterns of system up time make it where updates just do not get done even set to automated.

 

Not good computer practice this is why malware and virus will love those computers as their home directories and botnet.

 

Agreed, but no matter what I say it just does not happen.
