Thanks for sharing your model—HP Pavilion TP01-2271nd (544Z7EA)

If HP Support Assistant or Windows Update keeps offering the same updates repeatedly without actually applying them, you're likely dealing with a driver version mismatch, update cache corruption, or BIOS validation issue

Here's a structured fix:

 

Step 1: Clear HP Update Cache

  1. Uninstall HP Support Assistant via Control Panel
  2. Delete the folder C:\SWSetup (this stores old HP update packages)
  3. Restart your PC

 

Step 2: Reset Windows Update Components

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these commands one by one:

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

Then restart your system and check for updates again.

 

Step 3: Manually Install Drivers and BIOS

Instead of relying on HP Support Assistant:

If the BIOS update fails or loops, verify Secure Boot and BitLocker are disabled before retrying.

 

Step 4: Use Windows Installation Assistant (if OS updates fail)

If Windows 11 updates are also stuck:

 

Let me know if you want help verifying your BIOS version or checking driver logs—I can walk you through it. 

 

This kind of persistent update loop is solvable, and you’re already ahead by identifying the pattern.

Step 2 gives problems. The system replies with error code 5. If I look to the processes these processes are not running.
