<div dir="ltr">I just ran into this yesterday afternoon too at one of my libraries. After several hours, I aborted and didn't fully investigate the issue because we're replacing the computers in about two months anyway and I was only trying to make a very minimal effort into fixing a few issues in order to keep them usable for the next couple of months. I didn't want to waste a lot of time (money) on them.<div><br></div><div>As part of the minimal effort, however, I had run a script I have that fully resets the Windows Update subsystem. That almost always clears up any and all Windows Update issues. But it this case, it didn't seem to help on four of the five Win7 Pro computers I was working on. I just figured it was just part of the garbage that had started to cripple the computers in the first place. Didn't realize that it was a recent common Thing until Kevin mentioned it!</div><div><br></div><div>In reviewing the MS KB, my script is just the "Manually reset Windows Update components" section...in automated form. So I guess my response would be: The KB Ken mentioned didn't help in my case.</div><div><br></div><div>The reason I created the script in the first place, though, is that I've run into this issue occasionally over the years and I use the script as an easy/complete fix. (It often also has the benefit of freeing up several GB of storage space, if you're really tight on space.)</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br><font size="1">Senior Systems Engineer</font><br><br><b>Level 9 Networks</b><br><font size="1">740-548-8070 (voice)<br>866-214-6607 (fax)</font><br><br><font size="1"><i>Full IT/Computer consulting services -- Specialized in libraries and schools</i></font><br></div></div></div></div>

the KB articles that seem to help others and those patches have already been installed. I have also tried the Windows update repair and deleted the Windows update folders but nothing seems to work.<u></u><u></u></p>
