The latest update is not installed. Using the CheckHealth option in DISM. We use the Microsoft utility

The main reasonable way to maintain workstations with Windows OS is to timely update the anti-virus software databases, as well as install all system updates. It is on the latter that I would like to sharpen your attention, because these very system updates create significant advantages for user workstations.

Basically, these system updates improve the reliability of the system as a whole and also improve network security. Installing updates as they become available is an important step towards stability, both in home computer networks and in small business or office networks.

Therefore, if you want to get rid of current problems, as well as prevent future troubles, the first step is to ensure that it independently downloads and installs all the necessary updates. It is not without reason that many novice users who complain that Windows 7 is not updated simply do not know how to turn it on correctly.

Important tip: remember, the update will only work properly if your Internet connection is stable and has no restrictions on downloaded traffic. Therefore, if you are the happy owner of a GPRS modem with unfavorable traffic rates, then you can forget about updates. If you have an ADSL modem that provides decent download throughput, then you can start setting up.

So, if the Windows 7 update does not work, first of all, click on the “Start” button and enter “Update Center” in the system search bar and press the “Enter” key.

To enable automatic updating, the easiest way is to go to the “Settings” tab in the update center, select “Install updates automatically (recommended)”, in the drop-down menu below, select the “daily” update mode, and also set the time at which you plan to download system updates .

At the end, all you have to do is check all the boxes and click “OK”.

If win 7 still does not update, this means that your connection to the Internet is not stable, or your system is activated incorrectly, in other words, it is not “cracked” professionally.

Install updates from Microsoft on your OS manually or from a package and
configure “Windows Update” as written in the article. Actually, if the System
install from a disk from Microsoft then “Windows Update” is configured
by default “Install updates automatically (recommended)” and
earlier (before the appearance of Eights and Tens) when starting a freshly installed system
it (Center...) immediately updated itself and immediately downloaded 120=140 updates and all were
happy... The system worked stably if the user did not play pranks...
(I saw how they disconnected the computer from the network while installing updates, closed
the lid of the laptop when it was intensively updated and the system refused to boot
updates so that the traffic remains on “tanks with naval battles”)

In Windows 10, for example, the user is not allowed to disable updates; he can reboot
only configure, because it (the System) is periodically powerfully updated globally:
July 2015-OS Build 10240, September 2015-OS Build 10586 Version 1511, and most recently
after the next updates I rebooted: Oops! Anniversary - Build 14393.222 Version 1607
Windows 10 has the habits of Android Google Linux

I wrote the report as promised, it may be useful to someone, this article inspired me
to search for solutions, otherwise I first thought about what to do with Windows 7 with XP.
I wrote the comments because I found the solution in the comments to the articles.
People help each other. Thank you!

  THANK YOU! Found updates. After 3 days of struggle. HOORAY!

The article will tell you why Windows 10 updates are not installed and how to get rid of the problem that arose during the operating system update process.

Microsoft said that there are no plans to release Windows 11 in the near future. Instead, changes will be made to the “ten”, released in the form of updates. As a result, the operating system over several years of development will be very different from Windows 10 released in the summer of 2015 in all respects: performance, functionality, appearance, capabilities.

Moreover, the user will not be able to refuse to receive innovations in the system. It can only briefly delay the download of updates that do not relate to OS security. And the option is available only in the professional and corporate versions; owners of the tens home edition will not even be able to delay downloading updates.

Only a registry editor, a tool for editing group policies, or third-party utilities that perform the corresponding manipulations with registry entries in one click will help you completely avoid installing updates in the “ten”.

Solution

Let's get straight to the topic of conversation.

The software giant's forum contains brief instructions for solving the problem: close the Update Center, wait at least 15 minutes, and call the Windows 10 update tool again.

Checking for new updates.

After exiting the center, try restarting your computer, sometimes it helps.

To avoid manual checks for updates, go to “Advanced settings”.

Set the method for receiving updates to “Automatic (recommended)”.

2. Activate the service responsible for updates

Advanced users or people using pirated builds of "tens" encounter problems when updating the OS due to the fact that the Windows 10 update service is inactive. This is done to avoid problems with activation and to disable constant downloads and installation of incomprehensible operating system updates.

1. To enable the service, call the command interpreter using the Win+R combination, enter services.msc in the text form and execute the command with the “Enter” key or the “OK” button.

2. In the window with a list of services, we find the “Windows Update” or “Windows Update” service in some “tens” assemblies.

3. Using the context menu, go to the “Properties” of the service.

4. In the “Startup Type” section, set the value to “Automatic” or “Manual” if you want to perform the update once.

5. Click on the “Run” button and close the windows, saving the adjustments made.

3. We use the capabilities of the tool for diagnosing and fixing system problems

1. Through the “Control Panel” or the search bar, launch the “Troubleshoot Windows 10 Update” tool.

3. Give the application administrator privileges.

Once the scan is complete, a window will appear showing the results of the troubleshooter.

4. Close the window.

After this, it is advisable to restart the computer.

4. Let's use the problem-finding tool downloaded from the Microsoft resource

1. We are looking for a tool for detecting and troubleshooting problems with the “dozens” on the Microsoft website and downloading it.
2. Launch the utility and click “Next” after selecting the problem.

As a result of the application's operation, detected problems will be corrected.

5. Other problems

Among the other factors that cause problems with “tens” updates are:

• lack of free space on the system partition;
• occupied by cache update files loaded with errors;
• blocking Internet access by firewall.

Read, how to fix windows update error. What to do if the update has been downloaded to your computer, but is not installed automatically. Although many users do not consider it necessary to update their computer's operating system by disabling the ability to download and install them, Windows Update nevertheless keeps the computer's protection and performance up-to-date.

In the latest versions of Windows, Microsoft has done everything to ensure that updating the operating system depends as little as possible on the user and does not affect the operation of the operating system. But still, with a huge variety of hardware and software, there is always a chance of errors in the system, and Windows Update is no exception.

When Windows has downloaded the updates, you need to restart the computer to install them. Therefore, when turning off or restarting the computer, the shutdown menu prompts the user to either "Update and reboot" computer.

Let's look at a situation where updates are not installed (or are not installed completely) and items do not leave the computer shutdown menu "Update and Shutdown" or "Update and reboot".

Make sure that the update is actually not happening

If you encounter problems with Windows updates, download the program from the official Microsoft website and run it.

Click on Windows Update and click Further. The reasons may be found when troubleshooting problems with administrator rights, so in the next window, select and in the window that appears, click again Further.

The tool will detect and fix problems with Windows Update. After that, go to Windows Update, click "Checking for updates", download and install them. The updates will be installed after you restart your computer.

Start Windows in Safe Mode

Safe Mode is a Windows troubleshooting technique that starts the system in a limited state: only essential files and drivers. Safe Mode is used to resolve problems with programs or drivers that do not work correctly or prevent the system from starting correctly.

To launch it, press and hold the Shift button, then select Restart from the Start menu. In the window that appears after the computer restarts, select Troubleshooting / / Boot Options / Reboot, after which the computer will boot into Safe Mode. Start the computer update process and after it is finished, restart your computer again.

Delete Windows Update cache files

Method I

If the Troubleshooter Windows Update found no problems, the user can do the same manually: stop Windows Update, delete the temporary files it created, and run it again Windows Update. It will take longer, but the process is not difficult at all.

To do this, start the system in safe mode (as described above) and enable the command line (right-click on the Start menu and select Command Line (Administrator)).

At the Command Prompt, enter the following commands:

net stop wuauserv
net stop bits

Method II

Go to the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder and delete its contents. Don't worry, these are just temporary files that were created by Windows Update and will be created again if necessary.

After that, go to the Command Prompt window and run the commands described above:

net stop wuauserv
net stop bits

The methods described above will certainly solve the problem with operating system updates. Of course, the simplest and most effective way is to use the Troubleshooter Windows Update. But the other methods described will be no less effective, although some of them are more suitable for advanced PC users.

There are currently three different issues that Windows 10 users are facing when installing updates. Firstly, there is an error downloading the update or the download process is frozen. Secondly, there are problems during the installation of the update, and finally, the system crashes with BSOD after a reboot. Below are some possible troubleshooting solutions.

Fixing Windows 10 update download problem

If the cumulative update does not download, try the following steps:

If a cumulative update freezes during download or the installation fails, something has gone wrong with the update files. After the folder containing the update files is cleared, Windows Update will try to download the update components again. Go to the following location:

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Delete all files/folders, but do not delete the Download folder itself. Select all files and folders using CTRL + A and press Delete key to delete. Restart your computer and run the update process again.

If the cumulative update freezes during download, try the following solution:

1. Enter Services
2. Scroll to service Delivery optimization.
3. Right-click on the service and select Properties.
4. Change the “Startup Type” to “Manual”.
5. Restart your computer.
6. If Windows 10 update still gets stuck, change the startup type to Automatic (Delayed Start).

Stop the Windows Update service

If stopping the Delivery Optimization service does not solve the problem, also try stopping the Windows Update service. If your Windows 10 update is stuck at the “Initializing...” step, try the following solution:

1. Click on the Start menu icon.
2. Enter Services and launch the classic application of the same name.
3. Scroll to service Windows Update.
4. Right-click on the service and select Stop.
5. Restart your computer.
6. Check for new updates.
7. The update should proceed as normal.

Windows Update reset script

Completely reset the Windows Update client settings. It has been tested on Windows 7, 8, 10 and Server 2012 R2. The script will configure services and registry keys related to Windows Update, restoring the default settings. It will also clean up files related to Windows Update.

Fixing Windows 10 update installation problem

In some cases, you may encounter a problem while installing the update. If the update installation is stuck at some point, try the next solution.

If your computer is frozen at the stage, then follow the instructions below.

• While holding the power button, turn off the machine.
• Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode.
• Sign in to your account (if required).
• Make sure all virus scanners are disabled before continuing.
• From the Start menu, type Recovery and select the appropriate desktop app.
• Click Running System Restore.
• Select an earlier restore point, and then click Next.
• Follow the instructions to begin system recovery.
• Wait while your computer completes the system restore process.
• Regardless of whether the restore is successful or fails, you will most likely get rid of the error stuck at the moment “Preparing to set up Windows. Don't turn off your computer."
• Sign in to your account if required.
• Disable virus scanners before continuing.
• Start the Windows update process.
• The update should now install without problems.

Some users may encounter a stop error that causes a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) to be displayed during a system reboot.

If you encounter a BSOD crash when upgrading Windows 10, check out this article:

Other Windows 10 update problems

After installing Windows 10 updates, you may encounter some problems such as internet connection errors.

To resolve these issues, you need to run the following commands in the Command Prompt (cmd.exe). In the search box on the taskbar, type Command line, press and hold (or right-click) “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator.” After opening the command line, enter the following commands one by one:

netsh winsock reset catalog

netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

If you still encounter the “No Internet Connection” issue, please update your computer's IP address. To do this, open a command prompt (Win + R, enter cmd.exe and press Enter) and enter the following command:

ipconfig /renew

Disabling Windows 10 updates and drivers

Sometimes you may need to disable the installation of Windows 10 updates on your computer. Windows 10 Pro users can defer updates for a certain period of time, but Windows 10 Home users do not have this option.

Microsoft has provided a separate "Show or Hide Updates" tool to disable cumulative updates or even drivers.

DISM commands to check for problems with Windows 10

You can use the official DISM commands to restore a Windows image to fix any problem with your updates. Before you start, it's a good idea to take a full system backup or create a system restore point in case something goes wrong.

Using the CheckHealth option in DISM

Team /CheckHealth DISM allows you to detect potential corruption. This command is used only to find damage, but does not perform any repair operations.

Command line, right-click on the link that appears and select "Run as Administrator" because running DISM requires device administrator rights.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

UsageoptionsScanHealth inDISM

Team / ScanHealth DISM allows you to scan your Windows image for any damage. Unlike /CheckHealth, the /ScanHealth check can take up to 10 minutes.

To run this command follow these steps:

1. Search for Start menu Command line

2. In the "Command Prompt" type the following command and press Enter:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

UsageoptionsRestoreHealth inDISM

Team /RestoreHealth DISM allows you to automatically repair damaged Windows images. Unlike /ScanHealth, the /RestoreHealth scan can take up to 10 minutes.

To run this command follow these steps:

1. Search for Start menu Command line, right-click on the link that appears and select "Run as administrator".

2. In the "Command Prompt" type the following command and press Enter:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Note: While running /RestoreHealth or /ScanHealth, you may notice the procedure hangs between 20% and 40% - this is completely normal behavior.

Some Windows 7 users are experiencing problems with the standard Update Center operating system. Windows 7 searches for updates endlessly, cannot download them, and continues to look for others.

A problem like this can cause a lot of trouble. Firstly, the latest patches will not be installed on your computer, which may reduce work efficiency OS. Secondly, while the search is ongoing, CPU and physical memory are heavily loaded. This may not be very noticeable on powerful PCs, but on “weak” ones it is very unpleasant. This article describes what to do if Windows 7 Update can't complete searching for updates.

Setting up automatic search

Firstly, you need to completely disable Windows update, which loads the operating system as it goes on endlessly. Subsequently, you will be able fix the problem and activate it back, if you want. But even without updates, Windows still works stably. Many users disable them on purpose and do not experience any problems.

You will need to do the following:

This is followed by to restart a computer to stop searching. Now your system will not try to search for new updates. If you need to enable this function, you can do this in the same menu.

Stopping a service

In some cases, the above method may not work. For example, when you try to reboot, the computer will spend a long time trying to download and install some kind of patch. And after turning it off and on manually, all settings return to their original state. And accordingly, the endless search for Windows 7 updates will begin again. To fix this problem, you need completely disable the service responsible for the work Update Center.

After these steps, the search for updates will be completed. To run it, you must return the service configurations to their original state.

In some cases, stopping the service and starting it again may solve the problem. Try this before resorting to more complex methods if your computer takes a long time to search for new patches.

Correcting errors in system files

Often such problems arise as a result damage to important system files. This may occur as a result system failures, actions of virus programs, incorrect installation of previous updates and so on.

In Windows OS there is special utility, with which you can automatically find and correct such errors. It does not have a GUI, so users need to launch the system command prompt to use it.

This is done as follows:

If you want to copy this line, you must use the context menu by right-clicking inside the window. The Ctrl + V combination in the console does not work.

After that Windows will scan all system files. All detected errors will be corrected. After this, you should restart your computer and start searching for updates again. If the process is still too slow- need to search other ways to solve the problem.

Microsoft has released special update for their operating systems, patching Windows Update, which endlessly searches for updates. Download links are located on the official website of the developer, so you can download the patch without resorting to services Update Center.

• For owners 32-bit version Windows - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49542
• For Windows with 64-bit architecture - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49540

You need select the interface language of your OS and click on the red Download button. Then just run the downloaded file, wait for the installation to complete and restart your computer. In most cases, this patch solves all problems that arise.

Updates KB3020369 and KB3172605

If the previous solution did not help, then you should update the seven by installing two more updates, rebooting the computer between their installations. This method was suggested by several of our readers and it really helps.

Microsoft Troubleshooter

Another way to solve the problem is to use the Microsoft Troubleshooting Tool. Its action is somewhat similar to “sfc /scannow”, with the difference that it was created specifically for Update Center and can solve a significantly larger number of problems. Besides, it has a graphical interface, which makes it easier for users unaccustomed to working in the console.

Do the following:

Wait until the operating system scan is completed. If the utility detects any problems, it will report it and automatically apply fixes.

We hope this article helped eliminate the endless search for updates to the seventh version of Windows, significantly speeding up your computer and making it much more stable.
