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?????

MS Fix it did not work. I got a failed to process message.
"Solve problem with Windows Update" was not successful either as it did not identify any problem (e.g. the clock and firewall were fine etc etc...)
When I can Windows Update History I find the list of updates that have been cancelled when I click on them this is the following error code 8024000B

If you need further info or if you think I have not followed your instructions please let me know. I would very much like to have this problem solved.

The only third party anti virus software I use is Avast. Do I also have to uninstall Windows Firewall and Windows Defender or do I just turn them off? If I do need to uninstall these programs how do I do it as I do not see them listed in Programs?

Uninstall this soft.

Of course you cannot uninstall built-in firewall and Window Defender ;) -only disable them for the moment.

I have disabled my antivirus software but when I did step 2 and run the program I get this box called Windows Update Standalone Installer. saying "Searching for updates on this computer." It has run for over half an hour. How long should it the program run for?????

Should I do step 3 while the first program is running?
