Re: Yes, well...
Joel,
If its a new install KB3102810 still works for fresh installs (but it no longer works for restored Disk images)
There is a knack to it though.
On completing a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1.
Select Manual updates (Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them)
Deselect - Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates check box.
Check for updates, allow it to install the new version of Windows Update, this will close Windows Update and relaunch the Window, once the new Window 'checking for updates' relaunches, shutdown and restart the machine. Once rebooted Apply KB3102810 (you need to manually download this).
Once applied, check for updates again.
This should take not longer than 8 minutes on an SSD with fast internet connection 20Mbps+.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
