Windows Update stuck at checking for updates
I have installed Windows 7 starter on my netbook. Now it's time to update
WU first said it had to update a component and seems it did correctly.
After each boot, WU says "Check for updates for this computer" (I have it set to check but not download them)
Windows Update is stuck at checking for updates, and while that, CPU usage remains at 50% with occasional spikes at 100% by svchost.
No error codes, SFC scannow returns OK, no log files, and no error codes as per the "Windows Update Posting Instructions" thread.
I have defragged, cleaned registry, reset Windows update as per the "Windows Update - Reset" thread, and waited for hours and hours.
I searched and can't get a clue some say to simply wait but I've waited too much.
What else can I do?
Thank you-
