Windows 7: errore 80072EFE su Windows Update

[felino]

Ciao a tutti,
premesso che è noto che il supporto per Windows 7 è terminato, ma vorrei chiedervi è comunque possibile scaricare le patch/fix/aggiornamenti tramite Windows Update.

Ho riesumato un vecchio Pentium IV che utilizzo solo per la sua porta firewire (IEEE 1394).

Ho installato Windows 7 32bit e avviato gli aggiornamenti, subito ho ottenuto il seguente errore:


Ho utlizzato il tool nativo per la risoluzione dei problemi, ricevendo il seguente messaggio:



Ho seguito diverse guide:
- installare l'aggiornamento KB3138612 ("impossibile installare l'aggiornamento")
- stoppare e avviare i servizi dedicati
- effettuare un reset della cartella Windows/SoftwareDistribution
il problema persiste.

Suggerimenti?

Ho anche provato a scaricare manualmente gli aggiornamenti da catalog.update.microsoft.com, ma non riesco proprio ad installarli.
Ovviamente la versione di Windows in mio possesso è sempre la stessa, usata per anni senza alcun problema.

Grazie.
