• 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?

• Updates Windows 7 - stuck on 'check updates'...

  I have a HP desktop computer.  Running Windows 7 Home Premium.  Recently upgraded to the 10 Windows (while it was free).  Discovered that even after the analysis of compatibility says 'OK' I had to call Microsoft for more help and told me that my computer was not compatible.  Asked why the analysis said it was.  No real answer not followed.  Little has been said to restore to Windows 7.  After that I have known issues.  Before the update of window 10, this computer has been running great!

  in any case, I noticed recently that my computer is not updated.  When I go on ' check for updates ', it just stays on that.  The status bar does not move, but just on the 'check updates' for days.  The only way to stop it is to restart the computer.  But I know there are updates because my other computer is up-to-date (did not upgrade Windows 10 - but is currently running Windows 7).  So, I have sen the videos and articles on remove and clean up the folder "Software Distribution".  I did it several times and it DOESN'T WORK.  At one point, I decided to do a factory restore.  Took the computer to update 1.  At ran Windows Update and found 16 available updates and other things to seem to be good.  But noticed once the "Service Pack 1" has been downloaded and installed the Windows Update is blocked again.  So, I'm lost here.  What can I do?  Is there a solution?  Or should I trash this computer and buy a MAC?  Questions please ask.

  Help, please... Thank you!

  See this thread and perform the steps exactly.  I did the following steps on several computers and they work.

• windows update (windows 8) stuck at "downloading updates, 0 percent.

  Ive left for 5 minutes now and all I get is the following: http://imgur.com/vAIxmpA

  Help me, please

  Don't know if this will help anyone having the same problem, but I suggest you to be patient. Just to be clear, not while you wait for an answer here from someone at Microsoft, who actually understands the question, but as he tried a first time Windows Update on a new machine.

  I just ran WU for the first time on a new machine and had the same problem as Freddie and Jas. After about 15 minutes, I started to google and ended up here. Then I followed the link given in Karthik's "method 1" above, to see that there is a dead link.

  Then I went to google others and happened at a glance to the new machine, in this time of 20-25 minutes after the start of WU, and here, it 'preparing to install' and is now, as I type, installation updated 23 73.

  What I suspect, is that the download progress is not reported, so it indicates 0% until all updates have been downloaded, which could take some time for a new machine for the first time, according to your connection speed and how many updates are currently running WU.

  I would say at least an hour before giving up if nothing happens.

• Computer laptop Pavilion G6 with 8.1 window is stuck on the installation of updates

  Hi my old laptop Pavillion G6 of 12 months (which was the worst computer I've ever owned!) is stuck on an update. The screen shows the message "Keep your PC up to... this installation to update 1 of 2" for 12 hours (overnight).

  A little over 2 weeks ago he had a problem with the WiFi connection - which also seems to be associated with the Windows updates - I got this one and it has been fine since then. Started an automatic update last night and now he's stuck. Any ideas?

  Hi Jamame,

  Thanks for your post, I will do my best to help you!

  I see that your computer did an update for more than 12 hours and has not completed or seems to have improved.

  First of all you could cancel the update, restart the computer.  Then you would go The HP Support Assistant to search for updates or problems. Here is a document to help performance. Improve the performance of the system without adding memory (Windows 7). I would also like to launch the File Checker.  Using the File Checker system to restore the system files. Now repeat your update with her power.

  If you want more help, please can you give us the exact model of the G6 you and the operating system you are using. How can I find my model number or product number?

  Hi royfos,

  Do you have a code error message when you try to run the system restore?

  Check if you can get into safe mode. If you manage to get into safe mode, then you can run the restore of the system from there. Otherwise, another option is to perform the Startup Repair.

  Method 1: Troubleshooting Safe Mode

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode

  Safe mode is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer with only basic services and features.

  To get into safe mode, check out this help article: , start your computer in safe mode

   

  Step 2: Run system restore

   

  For complete help, see this article:System Restore: frequently asked questions

  Note: If you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you can not undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point if any.

  Method 2: Startup Repair

   

  Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool analysis of missing or damaged system files that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. Run it and see if that fixes the boot problem.

• Windows Vista stuck with "update configuration".

  Whenever I stop Windows Vista, System stucks with "Configuring updates" appearing on the screen.

  The original post has been read.

  The original post has no importance now.

  What you do not understand, is that you now do a logoff and reboot for a fresh start of windows.

  The problem should be gone because the download folder has been emptied.

  and if the problem is still there, start the system in safe mode and then rinse the folder download again.
