Solve Windows 7 Reinstall Update Problem

Not Sure if it's the right forum to place this advice.

If you have had to reinstall Windows 7 SP1 for any reason & are experiencing problems searching for windows updates, the problem lies in the windows update client, to fix this, download & install KB3020369 & KB3161608 (which will install a new windows update client) after installing you need to select "Never Check For Updates" for your windows updates, restart pc & then go into your windows update & select the prefered option for how you want to recieve updates, select check for updates & it should soon display the latest updates if you have selected "seach for updates but let me choose which ones to install" option which I use, if not it should start downloading & installing the latest updates.

Hope this helps, it took me many hours to find this fix.
