Not getting today's important 64-bit W7 updates in 2018 so far.
Hello.
I'm not seeing any recent important OS and IE11 updates for my old custom built, activated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 machine from its Windows Updates (manual check). My 2 non-activated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 VirtualBox VMs got today's updates. What's up? Is it related Intel's exploits on my decade old Intel system? It did get its frequent Defender, MRT, and Office updates though. The last OS update was KB2952664 (update for 64-bit W7) on 2/13/2018. Thank you in advance. -- Quote of the Week: "Ants never sleep." --Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly. /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ http://antfarm.home.dhs.org / /\ /\ \ Please nuke ANT if replying by e-mail privately.

Select language and bitness as necessary. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...tials-download ******* I did a test install of Win7 within the last week or two, and I have an "mseinstall.exe" in my Downloads folder from that. This is a sampling of things in my Downloads folder, with no particular merit attached to any of them.

Make a backup before screwing around with that stuff. Some people have very specific tastes in setups, and I don't want to mess up anybodies "spyware free" configs :-) Since this was a throwaway install, just to test 2018-02 brickage, I didn't particularly care about spyware/telemetry.

You should be checking the Windows Update History for any entries that have "Fail" listed for them, with no "Success" entry later to cancel out the issue. Using the working machines, get the KB number of the cumulative they installed ("2018-03...") and grab a copy via catalog.update.microsoft.com .

For example, if a necessary Servicing Stack update is missing, it won't install. I just figured from the observation that 2018-01 didn't install, that the "QualityCompat" flag wasn't set. And it's possible the 2018-03 install will "cancel" that dependency (once it's installed). https://www.windowscentral.com/windo...ow-rolling-out "In addition to expanding its software fixes, Microsoft says that it has also removed the antivirus compatibility check for security updates on Windows 10." Which means in theory, once 2018-03 is installed in Windows 7, later updates should stop checking for QualityCompat, and you would no longer need mseinstall as a bandaid. Like, when waiting for 2018-04 to install. Paul |

If you "lied" about being QualityCompat, it could brick the machine vbg. When you work on WU problems, you should really have a backup handy. As an experiment (with backups) you could try MSEInstall. And see if that helps. It shouldn't help, but it's a variable. And I know why your WU is slower. You're missing the latest IE11 Cumulative. This is my Win7 Sp1 install process from before March Patch Tuesday. Installing that cumulative was to bring IE11 up to date at the time, and reduce wheel-spin in Windows Update. 03/04/2018 07:32 AM 55,915,216 IE11-Windows6.1-x64-en-us.exe 03/04/2018 08:39 AM 54,932,464 ie11-CUMULATIVEwindows6.1-kb4088835-x64_89760279f8f121f9fc82c5539f255456dd49a57d.msu You can see here, there is a newer one now for IE11. KB4089187 (51.9MB for x64) That's from March Patch Tuesday epoch. https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...ve+wind ows+7 It should not be possible for Windows Update to present the update list, faster than about 3 minutes. It used to take 3 to 5 minutes, in "good" times. The 3 minute interval, is how long the internal scan takes, before some info is sent off to Microsoft. If it takes much longer than that, it means supersedence is causing a problem. Installing the IE11 Cumulative prunes a portion of that from consideration (reduces the looping time of WU after the initial 3 minute scan). In the old days, if WU was looping for an hour before showing the list, I could cut the wait time to 40 minutes, just by installing the latest IE11. There are three other items that affect the looping behavior, and the actual March Cumulative then prunes all three of them in one shot. (WU will then present after just 3 minutes, but will be empty, so who cares ?) Paul |

This means your registry edit to add QualityCompat was the right thing to do (as if you have no AV, there's no way to get the QualityCompat setting otherwise). Paul |

Well, all I can tell you is, the 2018-03 for Windows 7, doesn't remove the QualityCompat requirement. Whereas Windows 10 does. And at this point in time, I don't understand what Microsoft is up to. The Microsoft microcode patches will not be delivered by Windows Update, so that's not a factor in the picture at all. And it could be you have an AMD Turion or something, but I thought there was already a patch out, which avoids tipping over the AMD platform. So I don't see why that should be any consideration either. Microsoft figured out what they did wrong there. Microsoft was blaming AMD for some "chipset documentation", when it looked like a CPU issue. This could be the event JMMD7 is recollecting. I'm not really getting a warm feeling about the quality of the logic in the year 2018 patching system. Meltdown/Spectre sure seemed to stretch the limits on what the update system could handle, in terms of "dependencies from left-field". Now, in my case, I didn't get any warnings on my test install. And it was purely by accident I happened on the mseinstall thing, and it set the same QualityCompat key for me, that you have set manually. (After that, 2018-01 and 2018-02 became available.) Since yours is set, I can't imagine what additional good the mseinstall would do. That was supposed to be its single contribution. Paul |

Not getting today's important 64-bit W7 updates in 2018 so far.
From what I've seen and read so far, this month's Win 7 security
'rollup' update KB4088875, is causing blue screens - 0x80242016 The state of the update after its post-reboot operation has completed is unexpected. No****, Sherlock ! Happened to my Win x86 box, which resulted in a 'Start up repair' that brought it back to life. Then Windows Update offered the February 'Quality' Rollup, which installed fine. AskWoody has a thread on the issues with KB4088875 but I can't access it due to a 'Gateway failure' which, I'm assuming, is being caused by too many web site visitors. A Googley search shows MS has stopped pushing the patch via WU and will most likely pull it, quietly. Like a 'one cheek sneak'. https://www.computerworld.com/articl...anking-it.html https://www.askwoody.com/2018/buggy-...rom-microsoft/ Hold off on that patch as it's still showing in the WU Catalog. It bit me, don't let it byte you.

My https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...f-1a1ca9770eaa forum thread got an answer from Johann Eva. He said it is because of my specific hardwares. W7 guest VMs gets all. Is that true? Well, all I can tell you is, the 2018-03 for Windows 7, doesn't remove the QualityCompat requirement. Whereas Windows 10 does. And at this point in time, I don't understand what Microsoft is up to. The Microsoft microcode patches will not be delivered by Windows Update, so that's not a factor in the picture at all. And it could be you have an AMD Turion or something, but I thought there was already a patch out, which avoids tipping over the AMD platform. So I don't see why that should be any consideration either. Microsoft figured out what they did wrong there. Microsoft was blaming AMD for some "chipset documentation", when it looked like a CPU issue. This could be the event JMMD7 is recollecting. I'm not really getting a warm feeling about the quality of the logic in the year 2018 patching system. Meltdown/Spectre sure seemed to stretch the limits on what the update system could handle, in terms of "dependencies from left-field". Now, in my case, I didn't get any warnings on my test install. And it was purely by accident I happened on the mseinstall thing, and it set the same QualityCompat key for me, that you have set manually. (After that, 2018-01 and 2018-02 became available.) Since yours is set, I can't imagine what additional good the mseinstall would do. That was supposed to be its single contribution. Yeah, this update thing is a mess now. Argh.

From what I've seen and read so far, this month's Win 7 security 'rollup' update KB4088875, is causing blue screens - Snip Here's an article about the Patch Tuesday update. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018...ll/?comments=1 It appears that Windows 10 has removed the dependency on QualityCompat once the 2018-03 update for Windows 10 is installed. The Windows 7 2018-03 update doesn't remove the dependency.

I Dual boot (Win7 WOW64 and Linux) this HP 6730b laptop, and when I booted into Win7 a couple of weeks ago, so after Feb update I'm guessing, when I applied the Feb updates and rebooted, I got the "HP" splash screen then the screen went blank and I waited ... and I waited .... and I waited! For approx 1hr 25 mins!! Seems one of the BIOS settings (the one timing the "HP" display) is supposed to be 5,000mS but was changed to 5,000S!! Resetting the BIOS fixed my problem. This week-end I intent to download any (March) updates and see what happens!! -- Daniel |

From what I've seen and read so far, this month's Win 7 security 'rollup' update KB4088875, is causing blue screens - 0x80242016 The state of the update after its post-reboot operation has completed is unexpected. No****, Sherlock ! Happened to my Win x86 box, which resulted in a 'Start up repair' that brought it back to life. Then Windows Update offered the February 'Quality' Rollup, which installed fine. AskWoody has a thread on the issues with KB4088875 but I can't access it due to a 'Gateway failure' which, I'm assuming, is being caused by too many web site visitors. A Googley search shows MS has stopped pushing the patch via WU and will most likely pull it, quietly. Like a 'one cheek sneak'. https://www.computerworld.com/articl...anking-it.html https://www.askwoody.com/2018/buggy-...rom-microsoft/ Hold off on that patch as it's still showing in the WU Catalog. It bit me, don't let it byte you. Looking at KB4088875, I decided not to get it as I don't have Internet Explorer - not even the .exe on the disk I installed KB4088878 yesterday and it seems to be OK. Apparently it can break networky-thingys but I don't have those. According to InSpectre I'm now patched against Meltdown but not against Spectre. The microcode is out for Broadwell but still not on Gigabyte's site. -- Peter. The gods will stay away whilst religions hold sway |
