I've tried to run windows update several times but there is no updates for the computer. I think that Microsoft has rolled back this update, and I was woundering if there is any place where you can see Microsoft official update history for Windows 7 - so i can discover which update that was causing this problem. Best Regards, Steffen. Windows 7 Forums is the largest help and support community, providing friendly help and advice for Microsoft Windows 7 Computers such as Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. My 'view windows update' page is blank w/ the exception of one update run yesterday.
Note: I did not suggest or imply that running the Windows Update troubleshooter would fix your problems, whatever they are. I merely asked if you had run it.
