How to download and install the July 2017 security updates

windows updates july 2017

Windows PCs are configured by default to search for, download and install updates automatically. This is not a real-time action, and if time is of the essence, you may run a manual check for updates at any time.

  1. Tap on the Windows-key, type Windows Update, and hit the Enter-key.
  2. Depending on how Windows Update is configured, you either need to click on the "check for updates" button, or that happens automatically.
  3. Again, depending on the configuration, Windows may download and install these updates automatically when found, or on user request.

    Hello All,
    Today I had downloaded the offline wsusscn2.cab file from go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=74689. See support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/926464 for more details.
    But when I check the properties of the cab file under the Digital Signature Tab its showing the date as 13 June, 2017. Just wanted to check if anyone else out there is seeing the same when they are downloading the cab file for month of July 2017.
    And is this cab file valid or any new cab file will be released by the Microsoft in few hours from now.
    Any reply and help on this is appreciated.

    Martin,

    Forgive me for asking but am I to assume that the Cumulative security update for IE11 is now included in the Security Only Update for a given OS? In this particular case that would mean that KB4025333 for 8.1 includes the fixes detailed in the following link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4025252/cumulative-security-update-for-internet-explorer-july-11-2017 (although that makes no mention of the Security only update package).

    Also, are 8.1 users supposed to make the registry change recommended in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4025333/windows-8-update-kb4025333 ?

    Thanks in advance.

    I noticed that there is an update for version 1607. I have been trying to update this for many weeks and all I get is failed installs of update. All of the fails are from kb4025339 and 4022715. They have downloaded dozens of times in the past few weeks but always fail. Sometime they will download 3 or 4 times a day. Next day they are gone.
    Do you know if those links would help me at all. I'm about ready to wipe my drive, but I would lose lots of stuff I cant replace.
    I have tried all the usual fixes but no help. Using Win10x64, 16 gig ram and lot of hd space, I have the manual installs but fail part way thru.

    I did download the new update for 1607. It's a big file, a bit over 1 gig. It downloaded fine and a message popped up asking if I wanted to install the update. I clicked yes and waited close to ten minutes. A message popped that said install complete, restart your computer. I hit restart and got the message about updating and don't turn off you computer.
    After about 10 minutes, it rebooted and got the "installing updates, don't turn off you computer". Eventually it got to a zero percent level and stayed for a minute or two, then gave message "cannot install update, undoing changes" Another ten minutes of that message, then another reboot and back to desktop. Checked the install list and nothing new there.
    Back to square one.

    Lynn1102, I'm having the same issue with the KB4025339 and I still haven't been able to resolve it. I've researched online for days and it seems like no one else has experienced the issue. If you find a resolution, please post it and I'll do the same.

    I have spent weeks trying to figure it out. The computer mostly works, but some things have been killed because of the failed downloads. My start button no longer works, my search bar doesn't work. My printer doesn't work and all downloads of printer software all fail in one way or another.
    On Windows bbs, (windowsbbs.com) there were many having similar problems. I don't know if the got it fixed or gave up. On that site there is a section called repair windows 10. That goes to a tutorial on how to fix it. In step 2, there is an all in one program that does most of the stuff you've tried, but also does a lot more, and it's all in one free program. It does take a while to run but many claim to have had good luck with it. It didn't work for me, but it did clean up other problems.

    How do I set the registry key for LdapEnforceChannelBinding on a domain server?
    Microsoft has it listed as a key- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4034879/how-to-add-the-ldapenforcechannelbinding-registry-entry and not as the name of the DWORD.
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/NTDS/Parameters
    Key: LdapEnforceChannelBinding
    DWORD value: 0
    DWORD value: 1
    DWORD value: 2
    If keys and sub-keys are the "folders", then the new registry hive path would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/NTDS/Parameters/LdapEnforceChannelBinding
    If I then add a new DWORD value type, what do I name it?
    Or
    Are they calling the DWORD the key and I should name it LdapEnforceChannelBinding?
