Thanks Kirt. you're an excellent tutor. You helped me fix my windows updates. I appreciate your big help :)
Welcome :) and Thank you!
@@KirtKershaw Hello sir.. I download the second files and its say "The Update Is Not Applicable To Your Computer" plz tell me something i can do
Thanks Kirt! I did a new install of Windows 7 after Windows 10 almost killed my computer but couldn't do any updates on 7 until I watched your video!So I went into Services (C drive)and stopped windows update then changed my settings to "never update" in Control panel .After that I was able to manually download and install some critical updates such as Service Pack 1. Now I don't get the error message anymore!I restored my settings after I was done.Thanks a million!
Welcome 😊
Man has 32GB of RAM. holyyyy coowwww
Thanks! I was stuck after rebuilding a Windows 7 PC. Right after the install updates would not work and this video was a big help. no sound driver yet so I just watched in silence :)
Welcome :) Glad to hear it worked for you, even with now sound!
You fixed my computer when no one else could! I looked at another video before I found yours. I stopped when the guy said uninstall everything and download Linux to find the fixes the microsoft problem. A mess! You are awesome! Thank you so much!
Welcome :) Glad to hear it worked for you!
From Dubai in 2022 I still have windows 7 thanks for you support wish you all the best
Omg thank you i wasted 3 hours to watch Videos and try Things to do this and your second Method worked i had 180 Updates :D
Welcome 😊
Thank you very much. The downloaded files and further steps as guided by you worked on a HCL laptop of 2007 that came with Vista originally. Your description of steps is wonderful ! Will look forward to your videos on other troubleshooting too! Best wishes.
Pulled out an old Compaq Presario from storage. Worked fine, but could not get Windows Update to work at all and it hadn't been updated in quite a few years. Did my searches on the Internet to find a solution. Frustrated that none of the tricks I found worked. Found this video and tried the second trick. IT WORKED! Thank you for posting this.
Glad to hear! Welcome :)
Hi Kirt. Tried other stuff on the web....nothing worked. BUT...your methods DID work (second KB file) and now can update. Thank you. Tony - Stoke on Trent UK.
Welcome 😊
Hours of frustration solved by your 10 minute video, thank you!
Welcome 😊
hey kirt do you know what to when you try to download windows 10 onto a windows 7 computer and it gets to 79% loading then just cancles and says windows 10 instalation failed??? it would rlly help if you could help me out
On the 27th Nov 2018, i found my desk top pc got this Windows Update Errors . This video works for me. Just the first step and my PC is back doing the Windows update. Other videos were like very complicated which i dared try it out. Thank you very much Mr Kirt Kershaw. Thank you.
Welcome :)
Use the first option and it perfectly worked. Thank you very much. You are a genius. You saved my life.
Glad it helped 😊
I have a problem, in 6:53 it saids "The update is not applicate to your computer" can you help me?
Edit: I don't think you need that download in 6:53 because I downloaded one of the catalogs but not those too, so anyway now that my Windows reached End of Support update and is up-to-date, thank you for helping me.
Mine also
Can you plz help!...I'm getting like 'the update is not applicable to your computer'
Downloading those catalog/files was a bit challenging. Had to put them on a thumb drive, then install on my Dell Vostro 1720. When i tried on the old Dell to get to site where those 2 files were, it wouldn't let me! So installing each one individually, and restarting each time, then checking for updates for 32 bit Win7 Home if found 190 updates to install. So my next step is to install the win10 install media upgrade i have on a thumb drive. Only thing i know i need to do is have the thumb drive plugged in, shut down, start up and keep clicking F12 to boot to the thumb drive, and i'm good to go. Not very tech savy, but extremely persistent! Thanks much for your help
Welcome 😊
WOW , this is great, i spent hrs and days trying to fix this, Kirt , than i found you, it worked on my clean install, this worked, i can not believe, thank you so much, your the (win doctor), take care
Welcome 😊
Big thanks to you friend! Been fighting with these pesky update errors for 3 days and finally the battle is won :D :D
A big and warm THANK to you Kirt, for helping me out with my problems with this old Windows 7 32-bit update. Now it seems to working just fine! Wishing you all the very best and please stay blessed and healthy! Best regards from Sweden! :-)
Thank you ever so much. Your second method worked for me. I had AVG do all the driver updates but had one driver missing which I really needed so coming on to youtube I tried a few different things and nothing seemed to work. I came across your channel and followed every step on this pc and managed to sort my other pc out. Your tutorial really helped and I was able to finally have the missing driver updated by AVG. I have 167 updates due which did take a few restarts on the pc and an overnight episode but proud to say as of this morning all issues solved thanks to your excellent tutorial. Best tutorial I have come across on TH-cam. Thank you again. Dave
Glad to hear it worked for you! 😊

I had 2 issues. First was an update error code 80072efe which required downloading an update direct from MS. The Second issue was a Failure to Install Code 80092004 which required downloading and installing files associated with SHA hash checks.
Thank you so much Kirt!!!!... it worked... had to do all the steps, 1 to 3 but man was it worth it!... may be upgrading to Windows 10 so i hope u have a video on that as well!
Welcome 😊

Many thanks for this. I revived a laptop I had not used in 4 years and your video proved very useful!
Welcome 😊
Thanks KK. The third method, the big guns, worked for me. Delete the contents of Computer/C/windows/software distribution and the next attempt to update worked as expected.for Win 7.
Sir, you said you recommend thst we should watch what videos,?
I'm experiencing error in update, window 7 user
Thankyou so much for this video it really help me out fixing the problem I had with windows update.
Finally my windows 7, can update anymore Thanks a lot,. work in April 2022
hi, 6:06 min I tried to install the link for my Win 8.1 x64 and error appeared: update is not applicable for my computer
Now i can update my windows thank you very much for the help ❤️❤️❤️
Detailed but not too lengthy of a tutorial. Sadly nothing worked for me. Second update was not applicable to my computer but the first update installed. Deleting the objects in the software distribution folder didn't work completely. Was unable to delete Data Store folder and Reporting Events text file.
Hoping you can provide a bit more help?
Oh you dear dear man lol. THANK YOU!!!! I have many failed updates from a few days ago. Is the website you used a good place to get those updates as well??
Welcome 🙂
Thank you so much for all your help, my son bought a HP desktop from the pawn shop for 10$ and they said it was broken. I changed out the hard drive and installed windows 7 then it wouldn't update, after viewing your video I'm now able to update. I'm getting important updates now this well also fix my ethernet controller driver problems, along with PCI simple communication controller,SM bus controller problems. Thanks again
Welcome 😊
Thank you so much Kurt. Your video enabled me to finally install an update I was having a problem with.
Glad to hear 🙂
Well done video. My issue is that second download (3172605), when I try to install it says "The update is not applicable to your computer." ??? But the first one installed just fine. I've got Windows 7 64 bit, but I can't update Windows or Microsoft Security Essentials.... both give error messages. Don't like not having a firewall. Any thoughts?
The 2nd fix worked for me. Thanks for sharing the exact name of the updates from the catalog.
Welcome 😊
Who’s using windows 7 on 2020 me of course hahaha

@@KirtKershaw how to upgrade windows to 10? HAHA im using too Windows 7
my factory os win 8 laptop runs faster on downgraded win 7 ultimate. It is actually just as responsive as my i7 win 10 build.
Great work pal, ive been struggling with my windows 7 for weeks after i factory restored my desktop PC,
The "check for updates' just would not work anymore, always gave a red error code message. 80072EFE. (This has never happened before in the 11yrs ive owned this PC)
After following your video to the letter and installing both of the Microsoft update catalogue files, my Windows 7 Updates are now working again.
Thx very much.
Welcome 😊
hi. the first update installed properly but the second update is saying ''the update is not applicable to your computer''. what could be the problem?
i'm having the same problem
Thank you, appreciate your amazing recommendations here! 😊 It worked!! Yay
Hello!
I have 64bit operating system so tried it, the first file was done perfectly, however the second file showed an error:
The update is not applicable to your computer.
Do u have any suggestion?
Make sure the 2nd file is correct for your particular OS (64bit).
hey Kirt
i have windows 8.1 where i download the catalogs for windows 8.1?
Thank God for you man... My computer hadn't updated for 700 odd days...it was shown up on the Avast Clean up Application/program I didn't know about this and when I realized I found you. Followed this all the way through the first downloads I already had and then I followed the second route... The third I would have done because if it doesn't work you can't break it... There was 13 important updates I hadn't got and a few optional which I've just left alone.
And I like you saying Doubleyer.

Before this video, I had 3 update errors with total 302 MB.
After I downloaded the two files and checked for updates and it said "Windows Updated!" Huh...That's odd! It didn't show the 3 updates that had errors! Why is that? Any way downloading the two files did it for me. Thanks Kirt you are great.
Glad to hear it worked for you! Welcome 🙂
@@KirtKershaw Thanks to you Kirt, I also upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 too👍👍👍
A huge thank you Kirk cause your tutorial had been the only one that fix my windows updates. Regards and health....

@@KirtKershaw there is something I wanted to ask though,need some assistance. Now sometimes when I’m in browse/chrome
When I press a keyboard letter or litterally jumps to history.Let me explain
If I try to type the word ‘home’
The first letter in the word ‘H’
Direct me to history
If I press F it then takes me to file or sumn like that hope you understand.Not sure how to explain clearly.It starts working good when I’m doing a research or YouTubing bit after a while this happens
No letters are in the search bar
Either something comes up or it an app opened after 💁🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️
thank u very much you have solved my very big prolem bro!
Welcome 😊
thanks for video I did it on old computer ( 4/27/21) and it got updates for win 7
yes it got onehunderd & seventy win 7 updates
Glad to hear 😊
When i got to download the files i was able to download both but one file wasn't able to download everything on that file which was the second one. I started this because my windows didn't want to run it didn't give me an error like yours it just said that it couldn't start to check for it because my service wasn't running. But my internet has been working before this windows issue i had to fix browser errors with the proxy it was hell to try and install an updated norton before i tried updating my windows 7 up to date to try and upgrade to Windows 10. I went my browsers and updated what i could since the error restricted me of internet access even with ethernet directly connected. I was finally able to manage after uninstalling outdated applications like curseclient,ventrilio,bingbrowser,etc. But Norton didn't download properly so had to un and reinstall. So now im dealing with the windows update and i was wondering if i should turn everything back on from the windows automatic update files you tampered and install the first update you did before doing the second one. Because then i ended up with the error you got from trying to download them.
As per your directions I trying to update my PC but I found that windows can not search for new updates why?
I learned a lot and I truly appreciate you, but I still have windows 7. This is not kool. I need help? Thanks again...
hello kirt, i am thankful that i came in here and listening your video tutorial. i am using window 7 desktop, i am stuck in microsoft catalog update hence it pop-up "Your connection is not private". please help me on what to do to solve this

Can you do windows 8 the same way you did windows 7 do you have a program for windows 8
Excellent video . Fixed my problem in no time at all.
Glad to hear! Thank you 🙂
Thank you Kirt, it works like a charm!
I have seen alot of videos how to solve this problem but none, not even this one solved my problem. I have recently did a fresh install windows 7 64 bit on a hp p6142p and acer aspire 1410. Whoever is frustrated and can't get anywhere, I did this. I went to the update catalog website and downloaded all x64 windows 7 platforms and first use my theory on the hp computer first when my friend asked for help to solve windows update errors after he did factory reset. Be cautious there will be details for the manually updates which version of windows is it for. I have saved into 2 folders after I started to install manually one by one the updates. The only thing I didn't do is check time to time if it finally updates on its own. After almost 90% of manual updates I had a gut feeling it would work which it did FINALLY. However it used so much space that it was ridiculous. Even though I have solved the issue and install some basic software like Microsoft office, some games and etcetera, I needed to do fresh install for the acer computer because it had a virus whenever i connected to the internet. It did ran good the movies, games, software and etcetera but still have viruses. I started to check every 5 manually updates to see it finally picks up but it seems like it took a long time. Finally I came across windows6.1-kb3125571-v4-x64 and it started to update on its own after the restart it asked for afterwards. I think as long as most updates are manually install, especially windows 7 service pack 1, you should be fine. I will keep the manually update download saved for future reference windows 7 64 bit users. I will backup with using acronis software so I don't have to do updates again on my acer laptop. This time I learned what to do without using too much space on the hard drive. On my acer laptop, I didn't do same mistake download most of manually install updates that would take too much space and limitated into half. software backup could be used sata and ide hard rives.
Thank you so very much! I am back in business! You helped me fix my windows update and the way you showed me, it was so easy to follow!!! I truly appreciate your help!
Glad to hear! :)
Awesome! The method of manually downloading the two .msu files worked. Thanks a lot Kirt!
Welcome 😊
Step 3 fixed my pc, running great, thanks!
Welcome 😊
can you send an attachment to the browser on method 2?
Will updating fix all my errors like null injection, an error occur and etc?
My savior! Thanks a lot man! It worked after both manual updates.
Welcome 😊
Hi Kirt,
I am not able to access your website, Does it moved to different name?
I am keen to look into Access and excle training Videos even if its old version doesn't matter for me.
thanks in advance.
Thank you! I have had to use this twice on my Windows 7 OS, both times it was successful. Just biding my time until I get a new computer.
Welcome 🙂
Thank you so much , first one helped me fix my window up dates

Try a different web browser - even your smartphone might be helpful.
Thank you so much! It worked and fixed my windows 7
Welcome 😊
Is there a way to update the Windows Update history? I have failed updates that install successfully later, but they don't update their status from failed to successful, which can lead to unnecessary effort to get them installed when they're already installed. It can get messy. So, I want to delete the failed status log for every failed update I install manually. Is it possible? Deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder is not a solution. It deletes everything in the updates history.
While updating the standard vga adapter it says windows was unable to install your standard vga graphics adapter
Excellent explanation. Thanks a lots.
Welcome 😊
Hi Kirt, i've tried everything you have instructed, but unfortunately none of these worked for me
i done all steps you have told. but nothing is worked me so sad. but i love your vid ... i liked anyways
