One common error is "Windows Update error 800B0100." This is often due to the downloaded installer in cache becoming corrupted. The next thing users attempt to do is grab the so called "network install" file which is the full install file as opposed to doing an "online install". The full install file is meant for system administrators to use on removable media or for multiple machine deployment. It is actually the best way to install a service pack, having the full file in hand. However, Microsoft has made it incredibly confusing locating the full network install for Windows 7 SP1 because of their dopey naming convention (or lack thereof) and poorly named debug files.

However, Microsoft has made it incredibly confusing locating the full network install for Windows 7 SP1 because of their dopey naming convention (or lack thereof) and poorly named debug files. As a final note, it is important for you to be able to identify whether or not you have the SP1 already installed, or successfully installed after your attempt to install. Press the Windows Key + R and type cmd.exe to get to a command shell. Type the command "winver" and press enter. * Version 6.1 (Build 7600) - indicates you have Windows 7 without SP1* Version 6.1 (Build 7601) - SP1 installedIf installation fails using the full install file, typically this will occur immediately, then Microsoft recommends that you download something they call the "System Update Readiness Tool." For the example 64 bit system the filename for this tool is:If [[Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Won't Install]] you will have to begin the troubleshooting process.* '''Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64.msu''' - Hot fix for Windows (KB947821) update KB is for Knowledge base with the number of the article it refers to. This tool is a misnomer in that it is nothing more than a fix for bugs in Windows 7 preventing the service pack from correctly installing on some systems. The fix is said to, "''The tool scans for inconsistencies on your computer and fixes them.''" Be patient, as this install may appear to stall or freeze, give it up to 15 or 20 minutes. Even though the progress bar may not show movement, the tool is said to be working. Furthermore, it is said, "''You can use the System Update Readiness Tool on computers that are running Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Vista.'' "== Shutdown Without Having to wait for Windows to Install Updates == To avoid installing updates when you shut down, all you need to do is lock your computer (which you can do by pressing Win+L). Now use the shutdown icon from the lock screen where you'll see an option to "Install Updates and Shut Down" or just "Shut Down." == GParted Causes Windows 7 Boot Failure == [[Windows 7 Does Not Boot After GParted Resize]] because Microsoft does something very nonstandard which thwarts partition resizing software and causes people many headaches. This is a common scenario where Microsoft does something really dumb making things difficult for the open source crowd, resulting in utilities such as GParted being untrustworthy. The good news is the problem is typically easily repaired using a Windows 7 Recovery Disc. == Search the C: drive for a file or folder == # Press CONTROL-R and type "explorer.exe" and press ENTER. # On the left pane locate and click "Local Disk (C:)" # Upper right of the file explorer window is a search box with the text inside "Search Local Disk (C:)"# Enter the filename you want to search for Results will appear including files and folders. It is not as clean as the old search tool, but this is what you're stuck with when using Vista and 7. == TrustedInstaller won't let me delete a file or folder == The TrustedInstaller user account is in Windows 7 but _not_ Vista. The TrustedInstaller user account owns your system files. If you try to delete a system file such as notepad.exe then you will receive an error. See our help page on [[Working Around TrustedInstaller]] to find out how to take ownership of your files and delete system files you want to be rid of, such as the lousy notepad.exe that Microsoft is so proud of.{{:Template-windowssecuritymenu}}
