Never ending search for updates
Hello world!
I'm having this problem after installing Windows 7 Pro where the Update Agent never stops searching for updates.
I mean: the green progress bar just rolls and rolls and rolls... I've left the computer during the night and nothing happens.
Know, I know what you're thinking: piracy, bugged ISO, bad internet connection, bla bla bla.
No. Original DVD with genuine serial number (normally activated), downloaded ISO from Microsoft website, solid 100mbps connection. Everything is fine.
In fact, on the same computer I can run Windows 10 and that one has no problems what so ever!
I've tried every fix I can find online including the Microsoft auto fix (or whatever they call it), turning services on and off so I can delete the SoftwareDistribution folder contents, manually update the Windows Update Agent...
Nothing works!!!
Did anyone ever got this problem?
It just stays there, like an idiot, searching and searching...
