And other operating systems extraordinarily useful feature- it allows you to improve the performance of the OS without forcing the user to make any unnecessary gestures. The principle of operation of the subsystem is very simple: Windows system polls periodically remote servers and, having found there service packs not yet installed on the computer, it downloads them and then installs them as OS components.
Force stop the Automatic Updates service
Experience shows that it is impossible to trust users. Compulsive use of a computer, occasionally devoting a few minutes to updating it, has an advantage over the risk of wasting years of work! Warning - Automatic updates and work in progress - Danger of automatic closing open applications and loss of work in progress.
- It's not hard that the devil!
- Like a firewall.
Like almost any algorithm, the update search algorithm periodically fails. Then Windows users 7 can see a picture of an endless search for updates. That is, a looped process of discovering all kinds of service packs on the network. Why is this happening? - this is a question for the developers Microsoft. It is important for us to find a "cure" against such misfortune.
Thus, a gesture that should become natural should never leave work on the screen without doing backup occasionally. Package and service updates are major updates and must be installed. Always wait until "others" have wiped off the plaster and the product has stabilized, which can take several months to several years. Never stand feverishly in front of a novelty, but rather look at it with a critical eye, even a suspicious one. This is preferable to losing the computer.
- "Critical" fixes.
- If your display works, don't update it so the new driver won't work!
The idea itself automatic updates- completely natural. Almost every modern operating system embodies it in one form or another.
So what to do?
Short list of recipes
looping and endless search updates are fraught with another trouble for Windows: this service takes up computer resources and, I must say, the resources are not small. This applies to both processor time and volume. random access memory. It is easy to verify this by calling during such a search "Task Manager" and looking at the status of the resource indicators. Today, there are several solutions to this problem in Windows 7:
Because of what updates are not installed in the OS?
We are a non-commercial project and advertising is required to pay the costs. In any case, we respect your choice: if you choose not to unblock, you can still use the site without any restrictions. Over the past few months, many have been reporting a somewhat tedious problem.
When performing the procedure, it is important to follow the chronological order of the indicated steps, as well as install the patches in the suggested order. Except when you get an indication that the patch can't be installed: in that case, keep going with everyone else, try again at the end after rebooting with those issues.
- "Twisting" the settings automatic search updates.
- Complete deactivation of this service (not recommended, but widely practiced by users).
- Correction of errors in system files.
- Download and install a special service pack.
As you can see, the choice is not great, but one of these procedures will definitely help. We recommend that you resort to suspending the service only if none of the other recipes worked. The first and second of the proposed options are practically equivalent in their consequences, they differ only in the access point to the function of deactivating the update search service. With them we will begin our discussion.
It is very likely that some patches are already installed, in which case the installation will automatically stop. Don't worry and move on to the next one. As a first step, we must rule out that the blocking is caused by corrupted files. This information will help download a selection of relevant patches for our system.
Step 3: Install Service Pack 1
It's really not much, but it's a prerequisite for installing other patches. After installing the latest fixed patch, you must restart the system. Not much to say: once launched, just click "Next" a few times to make all the fixes you have planned. Even if one of the points fails, don't worry: the purpose of this article is irrelevant.
Two Ways to Disable a Failed Service
You can stop the endless search for updates on the Internet with two simple manipulations.
Method one (using computer settings):
- Go to the start menu -> "Control Panel".
- In the control panel window, click on the link ".
- Clicking on the link "Settings".
- Expand the list in the window that opens. "Important updates" and select the option "Do not check for updates".
Method two (disable the service directly):
Endless search for updates - long boot diagnostics
Among them are the most popular. If you are lucky, you can download it directly from the official website using this link. This tool, unlike the previous one, is actually decisive in many situations. If the above solutions are not effective, my advice is to try the next method, which most often manages to fix the situation.
Editing system files
Before you start performing tasks, it's important to know if the operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit, and if the update package. In the example of this image, you can see that Service Pack 1 is installed and the operating system is 64 bit.
- Go back to the start menu -> "Control Panel".
- Choose a section "System and safety".
- Click on category "Administration".
- We launch the "Services" utility from the list.
- A window will open with a list of all computer services.
- We look for a service in the list called "Search for Updates".
- Double click on its name.
- Deactivate the service as shown in the figure below:
Please note that you must restart your computer for the changes to take effect. In fact complete shutdown services are not the best option - we discussed the reasons for this above - but if you do not want to mess around, then this tool can be considered the best.
You must install the update rollup before installing it. 
This unsuccessful attempt, in fact, exploded in the face of who wrote this post, and the exclusion of the same is the most effective witness. 
Let's see how to fix downloading and installing updates.
Searching for endless updates
Unfortunately, even with this you cannot solve the problem. The first step is to download the updates. Extract the archive you just downloaded and proceed as follows. The next step is to install updates. A few days ago, but it's still not possible to install automatically. Today we see how to install it manually and how to configure it in the best way.
Editing system files
Problems in the remote search system can be caused by damage to the structure or content system files Windows. To check if this is true or not, you can use special utility Windows, designed to scan such files and included in the diagnostic tools of the operating system. You can get to the utility as follows:
To take full advantage of this guide, you will need the following tools. Let's get to the most important part. 
The system continues to display a message that an update is in progress, but nothing happens. There is a solution to this problem. It turns out that this problem can be easily solved.
Download the update for your system
Below you will find direct links for this update for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Download these updates, but don't install them yet - we'll do that in step 4. First, we need to do two more, less activity.
Disable internet access
The update must be installed with Internet access disabled. If you connect to the Internet using a network cable, you can disconnect it from your computer. Alternatively, you can right-click on the network icon, select "Network and Sharing Center" public access", go to network adapter settings, and then disable network adapter, which you use to connect to the Internet.- Click on the combination "Win" + "R".
- In the Run window that opens, there is a field for entering commands. Enter the cmd command in this field.
- A command line window opens in front of us.
- In response to an invitation command processor enter the following: "sfc /scannow".
- The system file scanning program starts and we just have to wait for its completion.
Diagnostic Windows utility"sfc" doesn't just scan files for corruption. Finding such damage, she tries to fix them. For example, if any of the system files was "eaten" by a virus, the utility will restore it. At the end of the scan, the program displays a listing of detected errors in file system with their brief description. You can read this information, or you can ignore it and restart your computer. If after rebooting the looped search does not resume, then everything is in order.
In the run window, enter the following command and confirm with the "Enter" key. A new System Services window will appear. Now you can close the maintenance window. Run the installer file and confirm the update installation. If you get an error that the update is incompatible with your operating system, make sure you have the correct version for your system architecture. If the update still doesn't want to install anyway, use an alternative update from the first step.
After installing the update, you will be prompted to restart your computer. Confirm it and wait while the update is configured and the system will restart. When the system reboots, turn on the Internet. After about 5-10 minutes, you will see a list of updates available for installation.
Service pack for service packs
Apparently, the problem of a looped search for service packs has taken on such a large scale in Windows that even vigilant MS support employees have managed to pay attention to it.
Therefore, without further ado, the Windows manufacturer has released a special update package under the number KB3102810, designed to solve this problem.
Thus, we will say goodbye to intimacy, the most important thing in a free society. Here are the updates. However, if this has already happened on your computer, you can remove them completely and the operating system will no longer automatically reinstall them without permission. And that's all for now! Space is mass, and decomposition is energy! . This method is faster because it doesn't require downloading a virtual image and then copying it to another storage medium, and is done automatically without excessive user interaction.
This update fixes freezing errors when searching. To get a "patch", you need to go to the page www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49542(for owners of 64-bit Windows versions it will be www .microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49540). Download the update package, install it on your system, and the problem of looping the search for other Windows updates will not bother you anymore. At least that's what the developers say. Once again, we remind you of the need to restart your computer.
Click the "Submit" button and then the "Continue" button on the next page. You also need to make sure that the system on which you are installing the update meets the minimum system requirements. Once the download is complete, you will need to run this executable. The updater will display a progress bar for a few seconds and then warn the user to restart the computer to complete the installation process. save everything open documents and close all programs in background, and then click the Restart button.
Dear Admin! Don't waste your time on comments like
from Andrey, He himself did not understand what he wrote ...
My Windows 7 Ultimate x64 system worked like clockwork until May 2016,
It has two virtual machines installed, and since May there have been problems:
svchost process loaded CPU 50%-70% and RAM load up to 3000 MB
A lot of things have been tried, I installed Six in VirtualBox! Sevens

Windows 10. And on freshly installed ones, they might not work for a reason
not a "fresh" distribution, i.e. Windows 7 must be some
specific build...
Unable to update due to lack of memory
Both shutting down and starting the operating system will show a configuration update that will take a few seconds. This is normal and you should not interfere with this process. Wait for it to finish and don't click anything until you return to your desktop.
Once the update has downloaded, a final message will appear that offers two options: "Let's get started" and "I've changed my mind." Once you click "Let's Get Started", the computer will be checked for compatibility and a screen will appear indicating that the installation can begin. It's a good idea to save all open documents again and close applications before clicking Start Update Now.
Thank you very much for the article, it gave direction to the search
