Hi Boggin, thanks for the tip. I will give it a shot. I know of others who are having problems with Windows 7 not updating anymore. I purchased the pro version of Tweaking but was disappointed that it could not fix the issue with the update problem and or the reparse point issue. In my humble opinion, Microsoft should be sued by now, especially the way they force feed Windows 10 down everybody's throat. Even M.S.'s own updating fix program claims it can't fix the update issue because of "Rootcause RC_dataStore" ErrorCode 0x80070057, and collected file name CheckSURLog.cab. If you can elaborate on these messages or I will run the program first that you recommend and get back with you. Thanks very much for your time and consideration. Once I master this updating issue, I can help others as well. Take care, John
