    Upgraded To Z170 Mobo, Now Windows Update Doesn't Work?


    Hi all, I recently built a new computer on the Z170 / Skylake platform from a Z77 / Ivy Bridge based computer.

    I noticed USB 3.0 seems to be an issue with Windows 7, which I'm having problems with. But I also encountered problems with Windows Update, which just seems to hang when checking for updates. I assume this is Microsofts way of forcing you to install Windows 10...

    Is there a way to get Windows Update working again?

    There are no issues with usb 3.0, just use usb 2.0 ports for the keyboard and mouse and install with a dvd, no issues at all.

    There are millions of threads here about windows update, we can`t keep answering every single question about them :)

    Just get windows update going and walk away, don`t let your PC go to sleep and in a week or 2 the updates will show up

    But seriously, just let it run overnight and all will be fine in the morning.

    Microsoft has fired all the Windows 7 update personal and are down to 1 windows 7 update server and it`s running Windows ME
