• Windows 7: stuck on "checking updates...". »

  Before you answer, keep in mind that I tried the following things:

  1.) downloaded and installed "WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab" so that the system is set. It did not work.

  2.) tried the selected responds Vinod Mr proposed on this page. It did not work. (This is to turn the update services / BITs, renaming 2 slots to * .old, and then turn the services turn it on to reattempt the update checking.)

  (3.) I also tried the approach of the selective startup with my Symantec Endpoint Protection and this is to switch off the corresponding services. It did not work also.

  This has been the most frustrating experience I had with Windows 7. I do all this in order to update my display drivers, but to do this, I have to make sure Windows is up to date... who apparently can't do because it gets stuck on "checking for updates... »

  Can someone, maybe Bill Gates himself, please shine light on it and help out a young man?

  Thanks in advance.

  • Create an installation media for PC:Download an Installation file. When downloaded and opened, you find a setup.exe to run the Inplace upgrade. Make sure you only download the installation media according to your system.

• Windows Update stuck at 'Check updates'

  Original title: Windows Update stuck

  I had to recover my laptop windows 7 back to out-of-box state system. Once presented to my office, I immediately went to Windows Update to install all of the updates that I needed. After installing SP1, and restart the computer, windows update to update the update agent, so he could get some more updates. He said he would close and re - open Windows Update, which she did, but now it is stuck on "check updates".

  The update that broke the update of Windows was "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320"

  I have since made a recovery of the system to the State out-of-box three times and each time "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320" installs Windows Update is stuck saying "check updates".

  I did tons of attempts to solve this problem, but it won't find more updates and I can't install more updates.

  I have also experienced problems with Windows Update still looking for updates when Windows Update 7.6.7600.320 has been installed automatically after the system update to SP1 (it was after doing a clean install of Windows 7).

  The following worked for me:

  1. manually installing KB3083710

  2. manually installing KB3102810

  3. restart the computer

  4. run the Windows Update Diagnostic tool to reset Windows Update (support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058)

  5 restart the computer again and search for updates

• Windows Update stuck with 'Check updates'

  Separated from this thread.

  I have also the same problem rmahmud28 is seen except mine is Windows 7. He is stuck with 'Check updates' and I've already updated the Windows Update Agent. I tried some other stuff, like your FixIt tools, but nothing.

  No idea why or how... the problem was solved by itself. Looks like I have left no system check all these 300 updates available for download.

  Thanks anyway

  Hello klmorgan-Office [365]. Your question about the Microsoft community received a response from Canadian technology. Title: updates - stuck Win 7   Response Fix tetraethyle3, but I would advise Windows Update service be stopped and a reboot occur in addition to the definition of never. Many of us have worked on a better set of instructions.  I'll include it here. Feedback is more than welcome... August 18, 2016 Windows Update has become very problematic for users of Windows 7.  During the past year, we have worked to find a solution that works for you.  We found one that works very well for most.  We know that for some it works well for August 2016 until 2 September Tuesday, known as Patch Tuesday. We hope to update for September. We emphasize that, to do this, you must follow exactly as described. There are two main types of installations of Windows 7: 32-bit or 64-bit.  You know what is installed on your computer.  Click on the globe start, type in the box system. Choose system information in the list.  The abbreviation for technology for 32-bit is x 86 and 64-bit x 64 Start Windows Update, and change the setting for never to find updates. We recommend that you only keep this setting.  Then Windows Update will be automatic.  From there, you are responsible for departure and the installation of updates.  We recommend to you a few days after the 2nd Tuesday of each month. The process begins by ensuring that there is nothing running that will prevent the update to work correctly.  Click on the globe to start and type services in the text box.  Click Services in the list that appears.  In the window that appears then (its alphabetical), find Windows Update.  Right click on it (left click if your mouse is set for left-handed people), and then choose stop. Restart your computer. You will now download and install manually updates one or two.  In most cases, only the first (KB3172605) is required.  If that produces a result that indicates the update is not suitable for your computer, you must first install the 2nd day of these (KB3020369), and then install the first (KB3172605).  Choose one that is for your machine - 32-bit (X 86) or 64-bit (X 64). KB3172605: 32 bit https://download.Microsoft.com/download/C/D/5/CD5DE7B2-E857-4BD4-AA9C-6B30C3E1735A/Windows6.1-KB3172605-x86.MSU 64 bit https://download.Microsoft.com/download/5/6/0/560504D4-F91A-4DEB-867F-C713F7821374/Windows6.1-KB3172605-x64.MSU KB3020369: 32 bit

  1. After rebooting your computer, wait for about 10 minutes until that Windows Update performs its tasks.  Do not use the computer for other purposes during this waiting period.
  2. Start Windows Update.  It will take that a few minutes to come up with a list and download updates you select.  The process is quite normal because it was always from that moment.

  If your computer has not been updated for a long time, it may take longer.

• Updates Windows 7 stuck in verification mode

  After a dismal upgrading to W10, I decided to restore on W7.  Everything is fine, but updates are glued to the verification mode.  I waited hours, tried tools, checked computer files for corruption, the FixIt Windows thingy... nothing worked.  I can't try a bunch of command prompts or removing and reinstalling stuff more things.  Someone has another help or am I screwed because Microsoft deliberately sabotaging W7?  Frustrated!   Thank you.

  You have two options here.

  Option 1 - use a guide to solve the problem

  You can read my wiki article on how to solve this specific problem. Attention, it requires technical skills to some extent. That being said, here is the link:

  Windows Update stuck on "checking for updates... ».

  Option 2 - use the Roll-Up of the Windows Update

  Recently, Microsoft has packed all the updates of Windows 7 over the past five years in a single, easy-to-install package. Instead of spending hours trying to install updates 200 +, just install the roll-up and make. Personally, I would say this to option 1. I wrote an article of wiki for more details. Here is the link:

  To search for new updates:

  1. Type Windows Update in the start screen, press or click settings, and then tap or click install optional updates.
