Windows updates stuck at 0% forever
7pro x64, 2 month old clean install using WSUS offline to get most updates followed by Windows Updates to get a few dozen more. WU stopped working after a month, and at the same time I lost all restore points. I have many updates installed, but update history is now blank, and windows update window states 'Never' for last update check or installed. Some of this may be due to all the fixes I tried.
Updates is stuck at 0%, and never stops or produces an error even after 12 hours or more. I have other boxes in almost identical configuration that have no issues. Aside from WU, the machine runs great so I am hesitant to reinstall or restore from an old image.
Following the steps recommended:
1) Run SURT - it completes in 10min or so without any report
2) Run SFC /scannow - no problems were found
3) Run Window updates - still running after many hours, no errors
4) The CBS folder is attached, minus the cab files that made it too large to attach
Looking myself, I see lots of:
"Failed to internally open package. [HRESULT = 0x800f0805 - CBS_E_INVALID_PACKAGE]"
Also lots of references to amd64. This is a core2duo machine.
I see there are many, many posts about windows updates problems on win7, and just about as many potential solutions being offered. Having tried five or six different methods without success, I am wondering if the reinstall/image restore is the only real practical fix.
