Dear Corrine, Is there a problem with downloading windows updates this month?
My windows 7 system is checking for updates for hours and usually it takes a few minutes to get them. Sincerely, john
Hi, John. Yes, I've seen reports elsewhere of there seeming to be a problem.
BTW, make sure you have the most recent Windows Update Client installed, KB3138612: Windows Update Client for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: March 2016.
Corrine,
Just an update that the windows updates are downloading but at random
times. Two of my computers with windows 7 have the updates on and I have one to
go. I also understand microsofts outlook for e-mails is not working properly either.
I can not open pictures on them. Others can not receive or send emails.
Thank you about Pale Moon for XP. I downloaded it, exported my stuff over
from google chrome and it works perfectly. John

Dear Corrine,
I just went back to check all the updates i installed and the one
update that will resolve the issue ( KB3145739 ) was downloaded and installed on
my windows 7 computers automatically. It was one of the group of updates that I received through last monthly update. Hopefully I'll have no more problems.
Once again thank you. John
You're welcome, John. Someone else who was having the same problem told me that following Andre's instructions worked for him too.
