Windows 7 update problem

When I checked the Windows Update program on my Win7 computer a few days ago, I found that it was no longer working.... Downloading and running the 'Fix Windows Update errors' program from https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...-update-errors only worked partially, with 2 items stated as 'fixed' but one remaining 'couldn't be fixed'...

Sniffing around the Internet, it seems that several people have found the same thing. One suggestion was to change the computer date/time to some date before 3rd Dec 2017 and try again.

So I did that, then ran the 'Fix Windows Update' program again - this time it showed that all was 'fixed', so I tried Windows Update again and this time it worked, downloading and installing 3 updates. After the computer had restarted, I reset the date and the program is now working correctly once more.

Has anyone else had this problem? Win10 updates don't seem to have been affected.
