You win!

This is my first post. Maybe my last, too. That's a good thing. I was thinking: having solved their problem, how many people register on a forum just to say "thank you"?

So, my hard drive died. I knew it was on the way out, having repaired the FAT numerous times. I replaced it with an SSD. I reinstalled windows 7 ( becuase I'm worried that Windows 10 will be too much like Windows 8, which is a complete disaster).

My printer wouldn't install: it was complaining that my system wasn't up-to-date. I had an unknown device in my device manager. I knew I needed a Windows update. It hung at about 50%. I left it running for 48 hours. I Googled the problem. WSUS was recommended. Even WSUS strugled initially. It hung on stage 1 of 9: trying to update (can't remember the message exactly, but it was a component of Internet Explorer (another abberation).

The forum told me to simply disable windows update, reboot and run WSUS again. Who would have thought that would solve the problem? I now have an up-to-date system, which updates automatically via Windows update.

All I can do is say: thanks.

NB: I would still desperately love to know why Windows update didn't do that in the first place. Why did I have to go searching for your EXCELLENT tool? Can Microsoft really be this poor?

Thanks.

Caused by to many revisions and supersedances. We're working hard every month searching for new workarounds.
