Windows update making no progress after checking for multiple hours
I've been watching my windows update check for updates for the past 3 hours now. I even gave up at one attempt to reboot and try again. No progress has been made, my router light is not blinking. I am wired, not wireless. I tried initiating the troubleshooting steps indicated Windows Update Posting Instructions, but that isn't doing anything after hours of leaving it run either.
I performed a clean install of 7 ultimate x64. Windows update stopped working the update after SP1 (it says you need to update the Windows Update). Nothing has made progress since. Research has shown me that this appears to be a common issue in the past month... I'm clueless with what to even do at this point.
