    I just installed windows 7 Pro on my Lenovo all-in-one and I cannot get windows update to work. I get several errors (latest is 80072EE2) that causes everything to stop. I know I can use wsus offline to download updates, but I don't know what updates my system needs. Is there a way to figure out what updates my system needs without using windows update?

    Install Service Pack 1 (if it's not bundled in, you can check by searching System in the Start Menu), and then KB4474419. That should fix Windows Update.

    I downloaded the updates and it says that both of them are already installed. Is there another solution?
