Cannot complete Windows Update on Windows 7!

It was hard to solve the issue for a long time, but we could succeed to solve several issues, so I inform the information for an IT administrator.

  1. Run Disk Cleanup in Windows7
  2. Restart Winodws7
  3. Get a latest updater of Windows Update Client
  4. Stop some service on Windows7 (wuauserv, cryptSvc, bits, msiserver)
  5. Open the latest updater of Windows Update Client and apply it.
  6. Restart Windows 7
  7. Run Windows Update (Wait 5 or 10 minutes)

In case of forgetting to run Windows Update for a long time

The apply of the latest updater of Windows Update Client  may be failure if Windows Update weren’t applied more than a year.
If it’s failure, apply a updater of Windows Update Client that is close to the installation date of Windows Update. For example, if the installation date of Windows Update is on December 7, 2016, try to apply the updater version Augest, 2016 (KB3179573) or March, 2017 (KB4012218) .

Reference

It is very helpful web site and the knowledge in detail for this issue.
I would like to explain the knowledge.
