Trouble with Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320
Reinstalling from scratch. Having just started updates, done SP1. Windows Update Agent updates itself to 7.6.7600.256, then to 7.6.7600.320 and trouble starts.
Checking for updates brings nothing, no Internet traffic (I know this is supposed to be "normal", but bear with me).
System Tray icon tells me I've got pending updates, but clicking on the icon does not display them, only Checking for Updates.
I de-activate Avira anti-virus, and suddenly ~ 200 udpates are proposed. Including updates to .NET, but .NET is not on my machine.
I decide to select and install IE 11 only, to see if this works. Downloading stays at 0% for a very long time, so I stop downloading and shut down.
I start again, now downloading is at ~ 60% right away out of the blue. IE11 is installed, however a dozen other updates have installed alongside, which I did not ask for.
Also, they appear in Installed Updates but not in Update History.
I have been installing, wiping and re-installing Windows for dozens of times now over the last few weeks, without ever managing a properly finalized, working system. So before I examine each of those hundred updates again to see if they really have to be installed, then wait again a full day or more to see if Microsoft servers react online, I'd be glad to have your opinion.
I see a lot of people with similar complaints about 7.6.7600.320.
Thanks.
