Windows Update (Win 7 x64) is completely dead
I have one workstation here that has now finally completely died as far as Windows Updates are concerned.
I have tried to apply a couple of manual attempts (windows standalone installer) that many have said "should" help with the slow updates over the last few months. KB3161664 is one of the recommendations. The other being KB 3161608 - containing the kernel update.
But this machine will not take either of those. I tried to run the MS FixIt Tool top reset the WU components - it runs for a hour with no visible signs of doing anything.
And of course running Windows Update for the July updates - gives me 7 items - but nothing will ever download.
What's the last resort here now - before I have burn this thing to the ground to get it working?
