This program was released specifically to solve such problems by Microsoft, respectively, it can be downloaded from the official site for free. After downloading the application you want to start and install, like any other.
When the installation is complete, you can tryupdate the OS, however it is advisable to reboot first. No other user intervention is required, the application will search for and troubleshoot all problems automatically.

Under "Important updates", set the selector to "Install automatically" and specify the time when the system will have to perform such a procedure.
Viruses and Antiviruses
Malicious programs can causethat updates are not installed on Windows 7. Even if the system already has an antivirus installed, try checking the computer with a distribution kit, which is installed on the bootable USB flash drive.

Usually they occur if the computer is not connected.to the Internet or if the connection is not stable enough. If the Internet is OK, Fixit can be used to solve the problem.

The obvious is not always noticeable
If you have tried all methods, but still there are no updates installed on Windows 7, check the amount of free space on the system disk.
No matter how trivial the advice, usersoften forget to keep track of free space. And it decreases all the time if you do not regularly perform disk cleaning, because new recovery points, update cache and browsers are constantly growing in volumes. Do not forget that for the stable operation of the system, Microsoft recommends that you always have 2-5 GB of free capacity on drive C.
If the OS distribution is downloaded from a pirate site,computer assistance should begin with installing the official version of Windows. Very often, functionality is cut in third-party builds, services and components are disabled, and edits are made to the registry. Initially, it all seems not too important, but after a while there are pitfalls.
If there is no internet
Sometimes there is no internet on the computer and connectits not possible. Someone decides that in this case, the OS can not be updated, but there is a way, however, you still have to find a computer that will have access to the World Wide Web with already installed updates. In this case, you need to know where to install updates Windows 7.
Зайдите в каталог C:WindowsSoftwareDistributionDownload. Here they are downloaded. From the computer where the updates are installed, copy all the files from this directory to the PC where there is no Internet. Then reboot and go to the Update Center. After clicking on the "Install Updates" button, they will be successfully installed. You shouldn’t pin high hopes, you’ll not be able to upgrade the OS completely, because some components are downloaded separately for different hardware.
Also know about this directory will be useful fororder to save updates. If Windows breaks and you need to reinstall it, you will not have to download updates again. Among other things, the number of files in this folder increases all the time. For a year of work several gigabytes can accumulate. Files from the catalog can be confidently deleted to clear disk space. It will not lead to failures.
If the operating system is not installed on the C drive, then look for this directory in the partition where Windows is located.
Low download speed
From time to time everyone is faced with a situationwhen updates are installed for a long time. Windows 7 for several hours shows the same window, but the status bar is filled slowly. In this case, check the speed of your Internet or the speed of writing data to the hard disk. Any equipment fails in time, and the HDD is no exception.
If you have just installed Windows or earlierdid not apply any updates, most likely, a long installation time is due to a large amount of installation files. Over several years, updates may accumulate on several gigabytes, and the OS distribution kit is usually supplied in its original form.
