I've never updated my windows and I neverl will.

What? That means you could still be on Windows 1.0 😱

lol most likely he turns off updates completely when installing windows, just like i've been doing for years, but now im starting to notice a couple of things im missing out that are relevant, like the fact that im still at IE9 cause there is no way to install the latest without SP1, im planning to change my mind and let it update freely like my wp when i get w8

Users who haven't installed the first major update to Windows 8.1 now haveÂ*an additional 30 days to do so, or they will no longer receive updates for the operating system. When Microsoft released Wi... Microsoft extends Windows 8.1 update requirement by 30 days

I've never updated my windows and I neverl will.

I take it you've only been using computers for a handful of years then? Seeing as you're on w7.

Don't feed the trolls... didn't you see the sign? :P

Hmm. He's from Slovakia. Sign right there.

Oh thanks Microsoft. This would be great if I could install the update. But it fails every time. I've tried a few different fixes but it seems like I'm going to have to do a fresh windows install 🙁

Available Switch Options:

/CheckHealth - This switch option only checks to see if a component corruption marker is already present in the registry. It is just a quick way to see if corruption currently exists, and to inform you if there is corruption. It does not fix anything or create a log. This should be finished almost instantaneous.

/ScanHealth - This switch option does not fix any corruption. It only checks for component store corruption and records that corruption to the log file. This is useful for only logging what, if any, corruption exists. This should take around 5-10 minutes to finish.

/RestoreHealth - (recommended) This switch option checks for component store corruption, records the corruption to the log file, and FIXES the image corruption using Windows Update. This should take around 10-15 minutes up to about an hour to finish depending on the level of corruption.

Nope currently on windows 8.1 pro. nailed it. I turn the automatic updates off, simply because I don't want useless junk flooding my hdd and whole computer. Your take is false, I've been using computers since I was a kid, that means over 20 years, I also forgot to update the personal page, iam currently on win 8.1 pro Iam going to let that pass...for now. You can apologize to me later. Iam awaiting your apology too.
