W7 & MS Updates

[learninmypc]

In regards to a previous thread
I have the following "failed" MS updates.
Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2619339)

Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2639417)

Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2567053)

Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2388210)

Are the above necessary?

 

[drensmith]

Did you receive these updates from Microsoft?

 

[learninmypc]

Yes, they're MS updates.
Perhaps I should of posted all the info with each one.
I just got this pc 2nd hand on the 12/23/12 & those were issued prior to me getting this pc, if that answers your question.
So what I'm asking, is if I need them or ignore them.

 

[drensmith]

I am the least able in here to answer that question. if it works and "aint broke" don't fix it.

I understand what you're saying. Even if somebody in here told me what they're for, it'd still be over my head.
I'm only posting this because in the thread I linked to, I was asked if certain updates were installed. I wasn't sure till now.
If jobeard reads this thread, I've installed an older version of Google Earth & so far,its working.
I don't count my chickens before the eggs hatch thou.

Use Control Panel->Windows Update->Check for updates
You get a summary: nn updates available -> click on that summary

You now get a detail list of KBs that can be installed

select one with one click -> more information which will describe the gory details.
YOU AND ONLY YOU can decide if you want it installed.

Otherwise, just let'm all install.

Ok, re running MS updates following your directions, I get this

Which I think is for the USB mouse I've used occasionally. Normally on this W7, I'm using wireless mouse/keyboard.
The updates previously mentioned were found when I was checking update history.

Am I making a big deal out of nothing or ??

 

[DelJo63]

Hmm; Code 80010108 is an issue that needs to be fixed.

This article suggests running SFC /SCANNOW

 

[learninmypc]

So you're suggesting I follow the replies?

 

[DelJo63]

Sure - - can't be any worse than what you've got.

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, will give it a shot.

Ok, I did this "
1. Click Start, type "cmd" (without the quote) in the Start Search bar, right-click cmd.exe and click run as administrator.
but I couldn't right click cmd.

 

[bazz2004]

A left click will open the cmd mode window on my computer.

A left click will open the cmd mode window on my computer.

And yours is a W7 Home Premium? I bring this up, because I saw Vista mentioned in it. The first download I did told me it wasn't for my machine so I'm very confused.

jobeard, I originally did it incorrectly, here are the results.

 

[bazz2004]

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and just tried it out. The left click won't allow sfc/scannow. It says I need administrative privileges. A right click enables me the choice of running cmd as an administator and the scan/now command then works.

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, as the attachment shows, I was able to complete the scan & nothing wrong. I hope that is good.

 

[bazz2004]

I have had this problem but can't remember the detail. I think some of the updates were related to Microsoft Office applications. I run one of the older versions. Windows Update was constantly downloading those updates, installation was failing and this was regularly brought to my attention. This became massively annoying until I found that I could get Windows Update to ignore the few problem ones. You could also change the settings for Windows update so they are not automatic but I didn't want to do that. Out of sight out of mind as they say. I keep my free security software up to date and run regular checks in the belief that that will be sufficient.

 

[learninmypc]

Since this is a 2nd hand pc, I didn't install some of the programs on here & doubt I'll use them.
I too keep my free security software up to date & scan regularly. Thank you for the input & have a good day.

Try that^, it fixes my issues with MS update

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, I just ran it & it says no updates are available. Thank you.(y)

 

[Jad Chaar]

Did you set it to automatically repair?

 

[learninmypc]

Yes, I did.

 

[Jad Chaar]

Hmm when I ran it, it reinstalled windows update, try the fix it for Windows update embedded in Windows 7 (which I used) just for curiosity.

 

[learninmypc]

Kindly define "embedded in Windows 7" thank you.
If what you're saying is click start>All Programs>Windows Update, I've done that & it shows noyhing. BUT, if I click check update history, then it shows them as I've previously posted.
