Hello, I am getting a download failure error. I am using windows 10 pro.
I also have win 7 pro running in virtual box on same machine and same error.
I also tried using remote desktop over Hamachi VPN to another win 10 pro machine offsite with different ISP.
all machines getting same error. tried to get updates for win 7 x64, win 10 x64,and office 2007 all with same results
doesn't get past downloads.sysinternals.com
google search for error is useless

Thanks

MS currently loves to change the file names/servers. At least 6 changes the last 2 days...

Thank you for the explanation.
So I gather we need to wait for the name changes to stabilize at MS and then use an updated version of WSUS to reflect those changes?

Never mind, I just saw the link and edited the sysinternal.
All is good now.

Have the URLs changed recently? I have the ones in the link but they are not working.

The URLs are changing from one to another and back again. Currently it is nearly unpredictable to say, which one currently works. You have to try them all or download the tools manually:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sys ... logon.aspx => unpack Autologon.exe to .\client\bin
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sys ... 97441.aspx => unpack sigcheck.exe to .\bin
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sys ... reams.aspx => unpack streams.exe to .\bin
