Those search results are also full of lists of patches and workarounds. Often with followups a month later indicating Windows Update broke again.
Anyway to be clear - I don't need help keeping Windows 7 up to date. My (downvoted) point is that there are a lot of people out there running Windows 7 unaware that they are not fully updated, and hence under considerably greater risk.
- walterbell 10y agoOne would expect that Microsoft can fix this problem, especially now that Windows 7 Skylake support is extended for several years.
- rogerbinns 10y agoWindows 7 was already supported till 2020. I am surprised Microsoft hasn't already addressed the issue. I offer how many search pages there are as indication of how pervasive the problem is. In my own case (I realise this is anecdata) I only found out about the issue by trying to upgrade to Windows 10 and having that install hang. It happened on a workstation, laptop and virtual machine!
