HI, im not able to update my Win7 Ultimate 64bit version which i have downloaded through my MSDN subscription account. I have succesfully installed it and was even able to do some updates on the very first day of installation, but since the next day I have been having issues when updating. What happens is: - i get an information that there are some updates available so I go to Windows Update service and click to download and install them - since some of the updates require restart of the computer I usually click "restart" when download and istallation if finished - this is where it gets wierd: on restart when win7 is shutting down it initializes some of the updates. Sometimes is works fine and computer restarts without any issues but sometimes it just stops and does nothing (this blue circle stops rolling) and Windows just freezes. I usually have to restart manually or switch the notebook off because it does nothing even after 20 min - if i restart and nothing of what i mentioned in previous point happens then the problem starts right before Im allowed to log in. Just before log in Windows is trying to configurate the updates and it stops on 15% everytime i have tried it. It just freezes and the only option for me is to restart again (usually i go to safe mode where Windows gets back to the restore point and then it works fine but without the latest updates) - i have tried to do the updates one by one and I was able to do couple of them. But when i selected 2-5 updates at once then it froze again :(. I am not willing to do the updates one by one and I have no quarantee that it will work eventually for all of the updates because i have tried only couple of them Can you pls help me? Thank you I have been trying to find out some help through google but nothing useful also on MSDN forums but again no luck :( Details about my computer: ASUS F3T AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 1.6GHz 2GB RAM

Have you tried a clean install and see if that works? Sounds like your setup is badly corrupted. Vote if answered or helpful, I am running for Office (joke)! IT/Developer, Windows/Linux/Mainframe I also am a true vegan and I am very good with economics and I used to play chess at 2400++

im not sure i follow :( I didnt upgrade my previous version of Windows if you mean this. I did a clean installation of Win7. Could you be more specific if you didnt mean this?

Please try the steps below to resolve your issue. SUGGESTION 1: ============== We have found that this issue can occur if any third party software is conflicting with the Windows Update Site. If you have Norton, McAfee or other Antivirus or firewall software installed on your system, the third party software can conflict with the Windows Update Site hence I would sincerely request you to kindly disable these software while accessing the site, this should resolve the issue for you. Please remember to enable the Windows XP firewall on your internet connection (if it is not already) before going online in case of Virus problems. If the issue persists, let's go to the second suggestion. SUGGESTION 2: ============== This issue can be caused if one or more of the following services are disabled or unavailable. We will therefore RESET Background Intelligent Transfer Service and the Automatic Updates service. For this, please follow the steps given below: 1. Click Start --> select Run.
