Win Update 'check updates' never finishes
I bought a new computer with W7 and wanted to get the update to reserve my W10 copy but ran into the problem that the "checking for updates" screen never found anything and continued searching. I've googled the problem and have found dozens of solutions which I've tried all, many of them were from this very forum which is why I joined to see if I could be helped. The Fix it program did find problems but didn't fix it, when I go to CMD there are some commands I am not allowed to do even when I run as an administrator, Win Update doesn't run on Safe Mode even with networking on and whatnot. I've uninstalled McAffee and all the Lenovo bloatware on the computer which did seem to be affecting the performance. I even restored the computer to factory settings. The only thing I haven't done is let Windows Update run all night, I've only left it on for about 3 hours but I think that's enough. Here is the .zip file of my logs..
Is there anyway I can even manually install the updates? I mean all I really want is Windows 10 and I guess when I install that this problem would technically be fixed right?
any help would really be appreciated, thanks!
