HP ProOne 600 G2 Intel i5-6500 All-in-One
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I purchased a HP ProOne 600 G2 Intel i5-6500 All-in-One in December 2107 with Win 7 Pro 64 bit SP 1 installed. I did not load any other patches via windows updates until 7 days ago (manually - KB3172605) due to other internet issues I was encountering due to application client connectivity failing to pull from server about 15 days ago (not sure if it's related to http/https mandates). I loaded that patch manually due to windows update failing with the hope of clearing that issue to download other patches to clear up the perceived issue with internet communications. I was also attempting to manually load KB3140245 since this is related to TLS1.2 but received error stating "The update is not applicable to your computer". I tried both versions x86/x64 but both returned the same error.


I was attempting to follow this post in an attempt to resolve. I can confirm that KB3020369 and KB3125574 were factory loaded and I manually loaded KB3172605.

Is this a connectivity issue, activation/licensing issue, MS patch issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

wrong KB update? , the number you reference is for server/workstations OS

 

you want the for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3140245)

 

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/search.aspx?q=kb3140245

 

if possible let windows update scan and determine required updates

HP Recommended

Hi,

KB3140245 for 64bit win 7 is what I was attempting to load (2nd from bottom on update page) and I also attempted the last update on that page for x86 as well. Windows updates fails during run which wasn't always the case. Prior to the change in internet comms (TLS, https) 2 weeks ago windows update worked because I actually loaded one of the patches.

 

Another anomoly is the HP update log is attempting to access http but my 2 win 7 laptops are accessing https. This indicate software patch needed?

 

Thanks

 

HP Recommended

the HP log uses http (not https)

 

you browsers use https where possible

 

 

google fix windows updates/update and you will find severall programs that may help

 

here's the ms one:

 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027322/windows-update-troubleshooter

 

and another:

HP Recommended

I'll try running the windows update troubleshooter but the other link seems to lead to nowhere since the solution states to remove registry entries from a folder (WindowsUpdate) that doesn't exist.

 

In the registry editor, browse to the folder in the left hand panel to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate folder and delete the keys in the right hand pane called WUServer and WIStatusServer

 

Thanks

HP Recommended

I ran windows update troubleshooter and it found 2 issues (Service Registration is missing or corrupt and Problems installing recent updates) and fixed but windows update still fails with same errors.

 

I also removed Norton and recreated the license store as specified by MS 7 support.

 

Other issues:

Chrome is slow and won't connect to some websites.

 

Java Client application still not functioning properly (stating it can't connect) although upon reboot last night it worked when brought up and then failed each time after that.

HP Recommended

you might want to try scanning with a program like malwarebytes anti malware

 

and as a lst step, consider reinstalling windows confirm after reinstall updates work, install 2 or 3 apps/programs and reboot and retest if updates break after a install of some items you now know it's on of the 2/3 that were last installed which narrows down the problem for you

HP Recommended

I have Malwarebytes on the machine and no issues have been found. Are you saying to re-install windows 7? This is a factory loaded OS and it worked for 4 months and only recently stopped working (3 weeks ago - windows update and some  non-https websites) so re-installing wouldn't be my next step.

 

Any thoughts on the registry being down level or comms (TLS - http/https) since http on windows update is failing (HP box) while win 7 64 bit windows update on 2 Lenovo laptops accesses https successfully. Appears to be 2 different windows updates pgms based off logs as well.

 

Lenovo windows update

+Server URL = https://fe2.update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService/client.asmx

 

HP windows update

WARNING: WinHttp: SendRequestUsingProxy failed for <http://ds.download.windowsupdate.com/v11/2/windowsupdate/redir/v6-win7sp1-wuredir.cab>. error 0x80072ee2

 

This is what HP calls support, run a few diagnostics then it's up to the user to reinstall the OS... WOW

 

 

HP Recommended

it's your time, ....would you rather spend a unknown amount of hours trying to resolve this or do a reinstall of the os/apps which is a known time and will resolve your issues

 

or you can just ignore it untill it becomes a major issue, and you have lots of programs/documents installed making a reinstall a major pain

 

 

either way good luck! i recomend you keep searching with google on "windows update problems windows 7"

you might find a solution
