    Can't get windows 7 to update


    When checking Windows update page in red letters it say site may be down, or try restarting your computer.

    I can't even bring up installed updates.

    Well restarting did not help. Is the site down? Or am I having problems on my end. Settings all look good and it was working fine yesterday.

    Hi Gary,

    You are NOT alone.
