Thanks for all that info. I did discus that with the techie, but am thinking I might install 10 on that laptop. It would be interesting to try!  I also have 1 other laptop and a desktop pc. Bot these have windows 7 64bit and perform without any problem. Each computer has it own main use.

The techie came late this afternoon with the sad news that he couldn't fix the problem. He tried everything he could think of and ended up doing a repair install, which also did not fix the problem. I don't want to completely reinstall windows 7, so that is it!
The technician also told me that some of his customers want to buy a laptop with windows 7 OS. When he puts that in, it comes without the Update component!!! I guess Microsoft is forcing people to install Windows 10, whether they like it or not.

The techie came and picked up the laptop. He saw that I had used Tweaking.com and asked how it had performed. Told him all the stuff I had done and he was amazed that nothing had worked. Hopefully he'll bring the laptop back tomorrow morning. Will let you know any results

I have decided to call out the computer tech. The problem has been occurring too long. I did contact Microsoft and they didn't have a solution either, in fact they pointed to Tweaking.com with (use at your own risk) warning.
Thank you very much Boggin, for looking at my problem. It is very much appreciated.

Thanks Boggin, not sure if I am doing this correctly, the eventviewer did not quite work the way you said. I'll include the snips.

Windows update failure to configure, I have tried all fixes I could find for this problem.
I do not have the repair disc as windows came preloaded.
I do have updates for Microsoft .NET Framework, I found a fix for that.
But not for any other updates, since the start of 2016. The computer is a Toshiba laptop, windows 7 32 bit.
Then I found tweaking.com and have been trying that.
I have run the update tweak several times without success. The update downloads and installs, but then it asks for a restart and then the dreaded configuration is reverting the update again. I am about to turn off the windows update.
Today the configuration was in an endless loop, which tweaking.com fixed, thank goodness.
Sorry about the whinge.
