Lately I've been finding Windows Updates under Windows 7 to be a real pain. One of the more common issue is where Windows gets stuck on checking for updates. This can go on indefinitely.
The following steps often resolve the issue. I say often because in some rare cases the issue can persist...
- Open an admin command prompt
- Enter "net stop wuauserv"
- Run KB3138612.msu
- Restart PC
- Open an admin command prompt
- Enter "net stop wuauserv"
- Run KB3102810.msu
- Enter "net stop wuauserv"
- Run KB3135445.msu
- Run WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab
- Run WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab again (must see everything fixed)
- Run Windows Update and check for updates
One last thing: always make sure you have the latest version of the Windows Update Client.
