System performs well, but is vulnerable without updates.

    Hello,

     

    You should read carrefully and apply this Microsoft KB. (source: bhturnow's topic)

     

    "Stays in endless loop"

    Do you mean it researches or scans in endless loop?

    Windows Update runs for hours without a result. Once a got a code: 8024001B. Could not find a solution based on this code.

    Hello,

     

    Have you tried Windows update diagnostic? Link

    If it doesn't solve your issue, try the Microsoft KB stated. Link

    Before to apply this one, switch off wifi - disconnect Lan and set WU on "Never check..."

     

    Few weeks ago. I had the same issue without error code under Windows 8.1 . I tried a lot of MS KBs and I finally solved it with a similar KB  for Windows 8.1 . Now, Windows update works perfectly. No problems until now.

    Thanks for your reply. Mercy beaucoup :-)

    IE does not work well. For instance Microsoft site and most others can not be found. My laptop is more or less worthless.

    Microsoft community gave ''support'' that made things worse.

    I tried several times to make a brandnew start with the original Windows 7 recovery dvd's. After a lot of updates only Windows live mail works normally.

    Microsoft does not offer any real help. After the Windows 8 disaster I excpected like many others that Microsoft would come with a better Windowes version. Not!

    My advice to all who run Windows 7 is: don't upgrade to Windows 10. Many, many people have problems with W 10, including 2 very experienced system managers.
