Install Instructions for Windows 7 updates
Posted: Mon Jul 04, 2016 12:49 pm
First of all, I tried many apps before this one. Seems Autopatcher works the best so far. One of the apps I used was WSUS Offline...The problem with WSUS Offline is that once it downloaded everything, it installed everything in ascending order according to the time stamp the modules downloaded rather than their publication date. This caused a lot of problems.
Autopatcher installs them correctly by publication order.
1. After you've configured your downloads and downloaded the Windows Update modules, and restart AutoPatcher. And simply click on the text that says something like "Install Updates". AutoPatcher will make a list of all the downloaded modules and let you choose which ones to install. Simply select all the patches that aren't in blue text and start the installation process by clicking the "Next" button.
2. In Windows 7, run the Services app as administrator.
3. Scroll down to "Windows Update", right-click on it, and select "Stop".
4. When the Windows Update service restarts itself, and after a few updates are installed by AutoPatcher, the Windows Update icon will show up in the notification tray. Every time it does this, restart your computer to make sure the updates AutoPatcher installed become installed by Windows properly.
This is probably the best solution I can think of since Windows Firewall seems to be the culprit for the inability to download and install updates.
