New Install of Windows 7 and can't Update it.
Hello Everyone,
I need some advice on installing Windows 7 updates on a new install. Most of the time I can wing it to get these updates installed but it seams I'm stuck. As is posted all over the net using Windows update in 7 just sits there and spins "searching for updates" for hours on end (I ran for 9 hr's and it was still looking) and each of MS's stand alone installers KB3145739, KB3138612, KB3161608 etc does the same thing.
So I then tried both Autopatcher and WSUS Offline Update tools and while both found and downloaded the updates as soon as I try to install I'm right back to waiting and waiting with nothing installing. Both Autopatcher and WSUS seam to first install KB2533623 and gets hung on it as Autopatcher installed the first module and made it to 98% then stopped and it took over an hour to reach 98%. WSUS also tries to install KB2533623 first and just sits there with a blinking cursor.
Both seam to launch wusa.exe in task manager and I'm wondering if that's the problem. This is a Licensed and activated version of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and I did install the stand alone SP1 pack prior to trying to install the updates but I'm at a loss as to my next steps since all 3 of the methods have failed. I tried to run just KB2533623 alone but that launches the "searching for updates" and I'm stuck again.
Any advice on what I can try next or an easier way?
