Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2 SP1 will change the version number from 6.1.7600 to 6.1.7601.
NOTE:
Security updates listed here will be grouped by each year they
were released. Also, Microsoft
has switched to a new monthly cumulative update format for
Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2,
effective October 2016. Each new monthly cumulative
update rollup will supersede/replace the
previously mentioned update rollup from the previous month and
will eventually include all the
security updates before late 2016. Starting November
2016, new security updates will be
released only at the Windows Update & Microsoft Update
Catalog sites. Starting April 2017,
Microsoft has stopped publishing new Security Bulletins and
only the MS
Security Update Guide
site features new security updates released in April 2017
& later.
NOTE: It is not necessary to
download & install all of the updates listed on my
page. You are not required
to
install them unless your system has suffered serious
problems. Make sure you download the
patches
for the correct operating system. You can uninstall
most system updates from your system
if
they cause more problems than they fix.
I've made this page simply for
informational purposes and to make downloading updates
faster & easier. All the updates for
Windows
7 listed here can only be installed under the x64 (not ia64)
version of Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2.
Before
installing any Win7 or Server 2008 R2 updates, be sure to activate
and validate your copy of Windows 7/Server 2008 R2.

See MS KB article 976932 for any issues/problems when
installing Win7 SP1.

Notes: Since Windows 7 no longer includes
the old Windows Help Viewer to view help files with the .HLP
file extension, download
and
install
the WinHlp32.exe Help Program to restore the ability to view
.HLP help files in Win7. The KB2670838, KB2729094,
KB2731771,
KB2786081,
KB2834140, KB2882822 & KB2888049 updates are needed
before installing IE10/IE11 on Win7 SP1.
<> - The
KB2670838 Platform Update for Win7 SP1 may cause blue screen
errors on computers with certain AMD/Intel hybrid
graphics hardware. Download and install updated AMD/Intel
hybrid video drivers that are compatible with the KB2670838
update
and install the KB2834140 update. The KB3172605 July
2016 Update Rollup & the KB3161608 June 2016
Update Rollup causes
Intel Bluetooth devices not to function correctly when using
outdated Bluetooth drivers. Updated Intel Bluetooth
drivers and
applications that are compatible with either the KB3161608 or
the KB3172605 update have been released here.
The KB4516655
& newer servicing stack updates will fail to install if the
older KB4490628 servicing stack update is not installed first.
~
- The Windows Management Framework 5.0 download requires
.NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher installed first.

Notes: Any
downloads for Windows Seven (7) are found from its Windows
Update feature. By default, Win7 may be setup to
download and install system updates automatically while
connected to the Internet. To turn the feature off [if
you're annoyed by it] open the Control Panel, select the
Windows Update control panel applet, click on the Change
Settings link and select the option that says "Never Check for
Updates (not recommended)", then click Ok to save your
settings. Disabling the Automatic Updates feature by
using that method will cause the Action Center feature to
display some annoying pop-up messages that Automatic Updates
was turned off, so open up Action Center, click on "Change the
way Security Center alerts me" link to bring up the Alert
Settings dialog box, uncheck the checbox next to Automatic
Updates. Then click OK to save changes and close the
Security Center window and Security Center will no longer
display popup messages that Automatic Updates was disabled.
