Microsoft still takes good care of its good old Windows 7 by regularly pushing updates to patch various security issues and improve system performance. However, this won’t be the case starting January 14, 2020. Microsoft will officially end mainstream support for Windows 7 starting from that day. But we do expect the company to continue to release critical security updates when need be, just like it did with Windows XP. All Windows OS versions are affected by various update errors, and Windows 7 is no exception. When updates fail to install, the system displays various error codes, providing more information on the cause triggering the update failure. To help you quickly interpret these error codes and find a solution to fix them, we’ll list the most common Windows 7 error codes, as well as links to Microsoft’s Support pages describing the proper workarounds to be used.
