In my opinion that is a good thing. It means the patches and hot-fixes were applied properly! :chgrin:

Interesting to note. . .

- Control Panel "View Installed Updates" lists all prior hotfixes + SP1

- Click on [to remove an update, see] "Installed Updates" and only 14 show up under "Microsoft Windows"

- "systeminfo" also shows just 14 hotfixes installed -
Code:

Hotfix(s):                 14 Hotfix(s) Installed.

I installed Win 7 SP1 with couple updates too. It's working better now. It's matter on boot or when you go to browser too. Nice no problem with software's clean installation.But take a long time to download and install :))))

I'm sure that's because the servers were overloaded with download requests. It'll be much better after a couple of weeks.

As others have said, the fewer changes the better. Windows 7 has already proven to be a very stable and powerful operating system, so there isn't much to be done aside from patching security holes and possibly making things run faster.

SP1 still doesn't show up for me under Windows Update. It also did not install automatically. My Computer > Properties does not show SP1.

Before I download manually, any ideas why this didn't automatically download/install or even come up in Windows Update?

Windows 7 Home - 64 bit.

Are all Windows Updates installed? There should be > 75 of them.

Run the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

Go through the steps beginning with SFC - Service Pack Prepwork - sysnative.com - MVP

I currently have 83 updates installed. Ran the tool - it installed one additional update for me - Hotfix For Windows - KB947821.

Ran all the prep work, also - no change.

I don't mind downloading and installing it manually - I am just wondering why it's not automatically installing it for me.

There should be no problem with that combo.

729 GB Free. I would say so :grin:

Honestly, this makes no sense to me. Everytime I run Windows Update, it doesn't find SP1.

I believe that you need this Description of the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installation software feature update update to insure service packs will install. It's KB976902.
