Win 7 агент обновления windows 7

2. Download the latest update for the windows update client

This should be the first step in the troubleshooting process, especially if your windows 7 operating system is a fresh or new installation and this is the first time you are checking for windows updates.

The Windows update catalog for windows 7 is now very extensive, the increased size of the catalog has introduced some problems for the windows update client which have been addressed in updates for the client. In normal behavior the Windows Update Client will usually download updates for itself before it begins to download other updates, however, with this problem this update does not always occur.

You should always download and install the latest update to the Windows Update Client for best results.

The latest available update (June 2016) is included in the following Rollup Pack:

• July 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 SP1
  July 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

I have included below the direct links to Microsoft’s download centre for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the update.

• July 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 SP1 (32-bit)
  Note: For best results use Microsoft Internet Explorer to download from the Microsoft download centre
  Update for Windows 7 (KB3172605)
• July 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit)
  Note: For best results use Microsoft Internet Explorer to download from the Microsoft download centre
  Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3172605)

A tool to keep your Windows up to date

The operating systems developed by Microsoft, are constantly evolving due mainly to error detections, the lack of compatibility with some devices and the improvements of the programs that are native to the system. That’s why it’s highly advisable to keep our Windows installation updated at all times.

Windows already has a client thanks to which it’s possible to update the system each time a new correction is launched, but it’s possible that due to the inappropriate management of the system registry, a file cleanout or a virus, the program has disappeared, something that can quickly be solved by reinstalling Windows Update Agent. It’s one of the most important programs of those that are part of our operating system, and it’s inadvisable to get rid of it, because if we don’t keep our operating system updated, it can be a lot less stable and weaker against any threat.

Thanks to Windows Update Agent you’ll be able to maintain your operating system updated.
