stuck on "checking for updates"
Posted on 2016-07-26
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.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/kb/3125574
Also, shut down, start up, check for updates and let run overnight (past 3:00am). The updates might kick off at that time.

If it is a new install you first need to download the latest Windows Update Agent: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/949104 then reboot
after it reboots download and run the update patch here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3102810
Reboot again and the updates should work. It still might take a while. From the original installs there are upwards of 200 updates
just in the first pass. Be patient and let it run.
