The logs don't reveal anything. I'll try the change update setting and see what the result is.

I have a 2012 (NON R2) server that will not update. When I run Windows update I just says no updates available and the &nbsp;last time updates were installed was October 2013. I have searched around for a solution and followed many of them with no success. Unfortunately, I don't get an error code. The Windows Update control panel just says no updates available. <br />
<br />
I've renamed the Software Distribution folder. I'm not running WSUS on my network. I tried this solution <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058</a><br />
<br />
Any ideas?
