Win7 x64: KB4534310 fails with "not applicable" despite all prerequisites met
Hello everyone, I'm facing a persistent issue trying to install update KB4534310 on a *Windows 7 Professional SP1 (x64)* system. Despite thorough preparation, the installer fails with "This update is not applicable to your computer." *System Configuration:* - *OS:* Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1, build 7601 - *Architecture:* x64 - *Language:* Russian - *Registry data:* EditionID=Professional, InstallationType=Client *Prerequisites installed (in order):* 1. ✅ KB4490628 (Servicing Stack Update) 2. ✅ KB4474419 (SHA-2 Update) 3. ✅ KB4536952 (Service Stack Update) *Diagnostics & repairs performed:* - *Windows Update components reset:* Stopped services (wuauserv, cryptSvc, bits, msiserver), renamed SoftwareDistribution and catroot2 folders, restarted services. - *System file check:* sfc /scannow completed successfully - no integrity violations found. - *Registry check:* EditionID, ProductName, InstallationType all show correct values. - *Service status:* All relevant services are running properly. *The Problem:* After all preparations, the KB4534310 installer (downloaded both via Windows Update and manually from Microsoft Update Catalog) consistently gives error: *"This update is not applicable to your computer."* *Notable observation:* The C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsUpdate folder is missing on the system, even after completely resetting Windows Update components. I would greatly appreciate any help in identifying the root cause. Are there any additional logs or diagnostic tools that could pinpoint the issue? Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
Taskbar Search and Start Menu Search are greyed-out and can't be used
Hello, I'm facing two issues. Not sure if the second one is causing the first one: My Search bar at the bottom of the screen is greyed out (I cannot type there) and the same happens when I open the Start menu (with Ctrl-Esc). Typing doesn't allow me to search for apps/settings/documents but simply highlights menu icons that are already shown in the Start Menu (so pressing 'e' highlights the Edge icon, etc) My cumulative Windows Insider 11 Update (Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.26120.4250) (KB5060820)) is failing upon restart with the 'Something didn't go as planned' message. The error code for the update is: 0x80070005 I tried reindexing and resetting the Windows Search service for 1) and retried the update for 2). No luck What would you suggest as a next step in troubleshooting?Removal of temporary mitigation in Windows updates for printing and scanning devices
A quick reminder that as of August 9, 2022, the security Windows updates removes all temporary mitigation released to all Windows updates between July 27, 2021 and July 26, 2022 for smart card authenticating printers, scanners, and multifunction devices that don’t support either: Diffie-Hellman (DH) for key exchange during PKINIT Kerberos authentication, Or, don’t advertise support for des-ede3-cbc ("triple DES”) during the Kerberos AS request Without this mitigation, smart card authentication (PIV) might fail on non-compliant devices and cause print and scan failures. Firmware on Smartcard-authenticating printers and scanners must be compatible with section 3.2.1 of the RFC 4556 specification required for CVE-2021-33764 prior to installing Windows updates released on August 9, 2022 or later on Active Directory domain controllers. Go to KB5005408: Smart card authentication might cause print and scan failures for more information.Update KB5008223 lässt sich nicht installieren
Hi ich habe hier einen recht neu installierten Server 2022 (Version 21H2 (Build 20348.380)) per Windows Update bekomme ich das Security Update KB5008223 angeboten. Das System installiert auch bis 100% , bringt dann aber die Fehlermeldung (0x800f0988) Ich habe gegoogelt und viele Dinge schon probiert, leider alles bis Dato erfolglos. Versuchte habe ich: dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentencleaner aus dieser https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/topic/beim-versuch-updates-%C3%BCber-windows-update-zu-installieren-wird-m%C3%B6glicherweise-die-meldung-updates-fehlgeschlagen-beim-installieren-einiger-updates-sind-probleme-aufgetreten-wir-versuchen-es-allerdings-sp%C3%A4ter-noch-einmal-mit-den-folgenden-fehlern-angezeigt-0x80073701-0x800f0988-e74b3505-f054-7f15-ec44-6ec0ab15f3e0 dann den Klassiker der normalerweise funktioniert net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver Leider auch ohne Erfolg... Die Windows Problembehandlung läuft durch zeigt mir auch ein gelbes Dreieck an das hier wohl etwas ist, aber es gibt keinen Button zum beheben, sondern nur "Schließen". Der Button "Senden Sie Feedback zu dieser Problembehandlung" bringt mir die Meldung "Sie benötigen eine neue App zum Öffnen dieses feedback-hub-Links." Ich bin nun echt Ratlos was ich noch machen könnte um dieses Problem zu beheben, ich kann auch nicht permanent neu starten da dieser Server bei uns als Terminalserver läuft. Würde mich über Lösungsvorschläge echt freuen. Grüße

in Device manager there are a 4 hardware that need drivers and in Windows update => Optional updates section, there are 7 drivers listed but I don't know which one I am supposed to install. there needs to be more information there to tell us exactly which one to install. there are even drivers listed there with the date 1970!
