I have a Windows 7 x86 virtual machine that hadn't been used for a while, and today I did a full Windows Update on it (including getting IE11).
I noticed that I hadn't turned on Microsoft Updates, and when I open Windows Update and clicked on the "Get Updates for other Microsoft products. Find out More" link, Internet Explored starts up and takes me first to:
http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/ …. (and something I didn't catch)
Which immediately redirects to
http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/thanks.aspx?ln=en&&thankspage=5
Which seems to only contain this image:
This page is not what I was expecting (Microsoft update license etc) and simply shows me how to click on the start menu and run Windows Update.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? And how do I actually get Microsoft Updates turned on? This has never been an issue for me in the past.
Note that Windows Update is running perfectly happily on this machine.
Run
SC WUAUCLT MODE=AUTO
from the cmd as administrator. – arielnmz – 2014-05-14T22:51:29.443
