I have done several Windows 7 builds recently and with each, I had problems with Windows Update not working. I have had problems with Windows Update in the past but not very often. There are a few tools available from Microsoft which I have used with mixed success.

I am beginning to think these problems are not an accident. The frequent messages in Windows 7 encouraging upgrades to Windows 10 makes it pretty clear what Microsoft wants. I bet the problems with Windows Update are a known problem with Microsoft but they are ignoring them in hopes people will get frustrated and upgrade to Windows 10.

What do you think?
