Windows update problem, please help
Hello everyone, I'm facing an issue with my Windows 7 updates. I need to install KB4516065 and KB4535102, but each time I encounter error 80092004. I've tried cleaning the disk, using CCleaner, ensuring the update service is running, and downloading directly from the Microsoft catalog, yet it still doesn't work. Any additional tips would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I prefer not to use Windows 10. I want an operating system that respects my privacy, offers full customization, and doesn’t secretly install unwanted software. It shouldn’t bombard me with ads, look childish, or advertise confusing stuff in the start menu. I need something stable and dependable, not prone to crashes or instability.
Since Windows 7 has been reliable for years without any boot failures, while Windows 10 has repeatedly crashed and required reinstallation within a year, I find it more trustworthy. My system runs a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit version with solid specs: Intel Core i7 6850K, 2x 8GB RAM, ASUS X99 Deluxe, Samsung NVMe drives, and a high-end GPU. The case is custom-built and well-designed.
Windows 7 also handles this, but you can disable it in about ten minutes. Upgrading to 10 or Linux or OS X is necessary; 7 isn’t supported anymore and third-party apps and games will stop working soon. Also, 10 runs faster and is more secure. Most of your problems with 10 seem to be due to luck or mistakes on your part. I manage many 10 systems without these issues.
It's usually those who overdo it with things that cause problems with Windows. I haven't had any issues since I stopped messing around and just used the machine properly. If you believe Microsoft never fully removed hidden patches and fixes from Windows, then you haven't been paying close attention. I believe they did this during XP, as the WGA checker came with a standard security update and turned off many machines, mostly legitimate ones.
I understand everyone's ideas about moving to Windows 10, but I already have Windows 10 LTSC and Windows 7 installed. I've been dual booting between them. The LTSC version is much more stable, though I still rely on Windows 7 most of the time. Could you have any tips on getting my Windows 7 updates to function properly instead of recommending an upgrade? Thanks ahead!
Check the Microsoft site for details on those updates. Some require additional updates before installation. Ensure necessary services—Background Intelligent Transfer Service, Windows Update, Windows Firewall—are enabled as automatic and active.
Thanks for your patience! You had to add the update manually because the automatic process didn’t work. It’s reassuring that everything is now current.
I'm glad this assists you. Appreciate you labeling it the best response. It's disheartening that many repeat the same steps instead of seeking solutions. While I personally prefer Windows 10, the focus should shift depending on the operating system in question. For Windows 7, the answer would naturally center around that version. However, privacy concerns are valid—Microsoft does gather data to understand broader trends. If many users interact with certain features, it can guide improvements. People often notice patterns like frequent searches for specific apps or services, which might influence future updates. Some programs even adjust based on user behavior, such as blocking features with low adoption. It's not about mass surveillance but about refining software to better serve actual needs. Many developers prioritize functionality over assumptions, and transparency is key.
