    Windows Update is not loading updates


    Hi,
    I have just upgrade my operating system from Vista to Windows 7.

    I am finding that Windows Update is not loading any updates. It just seems to hang. All the computer is saying is "Downloading Updates" and every thing stays at 0%.

    Updates worked fine with Vista.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Hi thermite, welcome to the forums :)

    How long have you kept it at the 'Downloading' stage? I have noticed that depending on some updates I have experienced an extended 0% stage but after a while it began at well above 30%.

    Click the link at the bottom of the page. Save the file to your desktop as flush.bat. Right click it and choose run as administrator. It resets the hosts file, releases and renews ip address, performs flushdns, resets winsock catalogs and restarts your pc. It solved windows update problems in many cases.

    Thanks for the answer.

    I ran flush.bat. I chose to install a small update (i.e only 25kB) but it has not installed.

    Any other ideas?????

    Thank you for the link
    I have just tried the Fix WU utility. It said it "The process completed successfully." I then restart my computer but the same problem with windows update still occurred.

    I will now try Flavius' suggestion.
