Maddoc1007 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi all sorry I have been away from the forum for awhile but I am busy writing a book at the moment which will keep me away from here for awhile. Anyway the point of this post is to warn all windows 7 users to NOT INSTALL WINDOWS UPDATE KB4012218, this update checks your processor and if it has the latest generation of processors it will not allow anymore updates to windows 7. I inadvertently installed this update on a computer with a E7300 dual core processor and windows update told me it as my computer had a 7th generation processor it will no longer get windows updates this really shows that this update cant identify processors properly at all as my processor is indeed not a 7th generation processor but one that was manufactured in 2008 and that Microsoft is going out of its way to stop support for windows 7. Luckily I restored my system to an earlier restore point and windows update works again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 You can uninstall updates usually too. Back when I had to pirate W7 I uninstalled those updates from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 @SentaiBrad did that but windows update still didn't work until I did a roll back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
