Am I checking for anything in particular?

Kyle...care to elaborate???

Mine still shows Build 7000 :(

I have a Toshiba laptop, and the touchpad is working 100% under W7... Obviously had to d/l touchpad driver to get scrolling working, but touchpad itself was working as soon as W7 was installed

What kind of modem or router are you using? This information would be helpful in trying to work out what the problem could potentially be

Thanks for the reply Jimbo. I have tried what you suggested, but unfortunately it didn't work. :( Although Device Manager seems to suggest the driver in use after the 1st procedure is now the Realtek 6.213.0120.2008, I did notice that there was activity in the system tray suggesting that the...

On my desktop PC I have a Realtek RTL8111B Gigabit Ethernet NIC. W7 installed fine, and has been running a few days OK. However, for some reason, today it is only connecting to my network at 10Mbps, rather than its usual 100Mbps (I can't achieve 1000Mbps due to the limitations of my Netgear...

I know that this is a known issue with W7, as stated in the release notes. However, even after following the 'fix' given in the notes, my feeds are still not auto-refreshing. Has anyone else experienced this, and, if so, is there any further advice?

I followed these steps, but couldn't see any difference between boot times. I'm using an Intel T2080 (Dual Core) CPU but my boot time was 88 seconds with 1 core active, and 90 seconds with 2 cores active. I can only conclude that my CPU is not acting as any kind of bottle-neck in my boot time...

Confirmed this fix worked for me too :) No, the problem is not isolated to 64-bit installs...I was affected on all 3 of my 32-bit installs

The worst part of this is that there doesn't appear to be one solitary cause of the problem...it seems to be happening to everyone, but is being prompted by differing actions

I disagree. There must be something common happening, as this problem has started for a lot of people within a short timescale. It would therefore figure that something specific, which is being applied to everyone's installations, is responsible for what is occuring.

I have read elsewhere that this could be linked to the installation of Java...some people are reporting that a System Restore to before the Java install was performed eliminates the problem. I haven't tried yet...too busy Googling!!! :)

Just had a thought...if Windows Update is now no longer working for so many people, does this mean that Windows 7 will not receive any future updates? Hopefully this is not the case, and all that's broken is the means of manually checking for updates. Can't think of a way of checking this though...

Uraijit - do you have the KB number of the update you have identified as being the cause of this problem?
