So I have a Windows 7 install that (appears to be) fully up to date. The only update it doesn't have is the final update released on January 14th. It refuses to install.  this is the error i get trying to install it the january 2020 monthly rollup appears, but so does this  which also doesn't install. i've tried to install it manually through the microsoft update catalog, but it still fails. it gives the most generic error message saying "This update was not installed" I've tried running SFC, DISM didn't work. I tried using a tool called UpdatePack (simplix). It found missing updates, but after doing it, the January 2020 update still doesn't install. I tried doing the October 2014 Windows 7 Update Readiness Tool, which did install, but didn't help. I've tried deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder, but it still fails. I tried installing it in safe mode, but it wouldn't let me. I'm pretty sure I have the March 2019 SSU, as I tried to download it manually and it said I already had the update. This error is particularly annoying because this shield is here all the time  Anytime I want to restart, it says "Installing update 1 of 1..." which takes a long time when restarting, and it doesn't do anything. When looking up the code, I get this also: "windowsupdate_8024200d" "windowsupdate_dt000" I looked that up on Google, and tried the fixes, but none of them worked. Any help? (basically StevenNL2000 lmao) |

I doubt the single update is that necessary, and I've heard of quality issues with it, but if you're desperate for the glorious Microsoft updates then one thing you can do is either get the POSReady updates since they're still doing that, I think there's a registry hack to be able to get the updates, something like that allowed XP to stay updated for a very long time past 2014, or just buy into the extended update line Microsoft is still going to be providing (think there's a way to tap into that for free).

I care about the update because it takes forever to restart the computer. It insists that the update is there, and it takes 10 minutes to install it, even though it says it failed in Windows Update, and doesn't install it at all. I already have BypassESU installed, and the simplix software installed those just fine. It seems to be this one specific update. POSReady updates don't work on a standard installation of 7. You have to reinstall the entire OS with POSReady 7 I believe. It wouldn't even matter, since this update is for Windows 7 and not exclusive for ESU or POSReady |

Looks like they found a solution here: www.sysnative.com/forums/threads/windows-7-sp1-x64-kb4534310-error-8024200d.30925/This seems to be a very similar problem: www.sysnative.com/forums/threads/kb4534310-kb4539601-problem-to-install.30848/ |

Back in 2015 when I had a shit toshiba laptop with core 2 duo, I had a problem similar to this. I had to install ?213 updates on Windows 7 and then next day when I opened the computer, it was stuck on 0% in Configuring Windows Updates, then after a couple of minutes it said that failed and reverting changes. It took forever and I wasn’t able to start windows anymore. So I had to reinstall Windows

I have had a similar issue with a Windows 10 update once. It can be rather drustrating whwn Microsoft botches an update.

This does tend to be a perk of running a local WSUS server, I just bulk approve and download updates which means if one update supersedes another one because the previous one was fucked, I never get that broken one. Downside is it's more effort to manage...

Downside is it's more effort to manage... Probably still less effort than fixing the mess that a particularly bad update can cause. |

Downside is it's more effort to manage... No clue how to get one of those Windows Servers running tbh. I tried to install the April 2019 Monthly Rollup (which would supposedly include the missing updates from September 2019 and January 2020), but that failed as well. Installing the updates in order had to be done to get it to work, but now it's great because I only need the security only updates which are a few megabytes instead of a few hundred. |

Though WSUS has it's own pains though I learnt, Yay for IIS. |

Yeah, it's one of those where Windows & Updates just don't always work smoothly, it seems to have gotten better on Win 10 I've noticed, but it's still not perfect. |
