[Lila]

I cannot get my updates. when I search for them it goes around and around. I left it going this morning for 3 hrs and it still showed me nothing, only searching and the icon going around and around.

Follow these instructions exactly.
First, set Windows Updates to never check for Updates.
Next restart your computer, then install KB3020369, if not installed.
Then install KB3172605.

Windows updates should return to normal. You can then reset your updates to automatically check for updates if desired

Windows 10 should not be offered any longer. You do not need to set it to automatic, however, I usually set it to ask me before downloading but do this after all the steps are performed.

well the instructions you gave me for windows worked. I had 227 updates and it took over 12 hrs to do. I thought it would never end LOL
thank you very much for all your help.
Happy Halloween to you!
