I tried to update my laptop yesterday (W7 Home Premium).
After ~10 hours, it still hadn't started to download any of the selected updates.
It's time for Microsoft to fix the Windows 7 update slowdowns

Suggest:
Run this command from an Elevated Command Prompt - use Powershell.
get-hotfix -id KB2990214,KB305026,KB3065987,KB3075851,KB3083324,KB3083710,KB3102810,KB3112343,KB3135445,KB3138612
If KB2990214 shows up it may well be the problem. Here's my results and Windows Updates works just fine:

It took another ~6 hours to get the updates, but they did finally arrive.

It will probably come in handy next month (if the laptop can't upgrade to W10). :)

Time for Microsoft to fix the Windows Seven update mess? Forget about it, they couldn't care less. They want you to upgrade to to Windows Ten. Linux is the solution.

It certainly was for me. I switched to GNU/Linux Lubuntu and I found that it was fairly easy to use, and I'm not a geek or anything either.
After a few long nights I had everything set up the way that I wanted, dual booting with Windows 7, and Lubuntu all set up the best way for me. If anyone doubts that they can get a good Lubuntu switchover, trust me: it's more than possible.

And, that means everyone...
Windows 10 interrupts a live TV broadcast with an unwanted upgrade
I'm now running a Linux Mint/Windows 7 dual boot, Windows 7 is at SP1 level only with no Internet access and only used for games and a few other programs with no Linux equivalent.
No more Patch Tuesday or Windows 10 nag worries for me.
