Just had some time to try this out:
So first I installed Win7 w/ SP1
Then you first have to install this Servicing update patch:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3020369
Then installed the new Rollup Update.
Then checked for updates and had 56 important ones including IE11
Installed those and then checked again and installed 22 more.
Much faster than the standard method!!! very nice!
Now to figure out how to slipstream this rollup into windows and create a bootable installer...
I installed Win7 64-bit Home Premium SP1-U using a USB stick into a Gigabyte Brix J1900 box with a 300GB Intel SATAII SSD, 8GB GSKill RAM, and it installed OK. Then I installed the drivers that seemed to apply to Win7, off of their driver CD, that I used another machine to do a simple copy off of the CD to a USB stick.
Then I downloaded the April 2016 Servicing Update, and then the Convenience Rollup, and installed them in that order, rebooting between.
Then I tried "Checking for Update" to get IE11 and the remainder of the updates. But now it checks "forever" again.
I tried then downloading and installing the "Excessive CPU Usage when using Windows Update in Win7" patch and installing that, but no difference.
Still seems to check "forever".
Any ideas?
Does installing the Convenience Rollup on a fresh SP1 system, result in "infinite" Windows Update times?
