stuck on "checking for updates"
I just reformatted a Dell OptiPlex 380
Windows 7 SP1, I'm trying to update with Microsoft Updates but it just stays stuck on "Checking for updates"
If I look at history the only updates are: Windows Defender KB915597 and Windows update agent 7.6.76.00.320
any suggestions are appreciated

If the above doesn't work download wsus offline updater. Pull down all your windows 7 updates, and any other updates you may want to choose, install all with wsus offline updater. Your updates will work after that.

There is also a recent Windows 7 Rollup that you can try.

Also, shut down, start up, check for updates and let run overnight (past 3:00am). The updates might kick off at that time.
