Windows 7 Not Updating

I did a clean install recently and Windows updates wont work. I was able to install some updates like SP1 but now the Windows Update windows simply stays the same saying "checking for updates".

Interestingly last Wednesday the updates seemed to work with the automatic updates; it download and "installed" 200 or so updates but when i restarted it said something to the effect of Window Update failed... reverting changes. A few of the updates did actually install but i still cannot get most of them.

I have deleted the Windows History Components via a command prompt tool which i no longer have the link for. I did a Clean-Boot along with totally uninstalling all anti virus and firewall software to be sure and then ran the Windows Update Diagnostic tool found here https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...troubleshooter but the program continually stays at "detecting problems... checking for online updates". I have let this run for three hours to no avail.

I really want to avoid having to reinstall windows since that take me around 15 hours and i may just encounter the same issue. What is my next step please?

Thanks TrashZone, your advice worked 100%

Many Thanks :)

Thank you very much for resolving this issue for me

IS there a way to really confirm that all my windows 7 updates are working normally because i have had to manually download "Microsoft Keyboard And Mouse" software which usually updates/downloads by itself and it is not a hidden update and i have manually clicked "Check for updates" but it says everything is up to date. Thanks

Okay I have a question is it Absolutely necessary to download the last down load file which is: KB3125574

Which the last you have to get it at the catalog using internet explorer
Microsoft Update Catalog.

I was just wondering if this is a absolutely necessary step or if I have to follow this last step because there is like a million instructions considering things you need to do if you experience any of the possible errors with this download in a very long list of instruction to follow of which I do not really understand. The instructions on the download page it says you may have a network error or several other errors as well. I just don't want to make my computer problems worse. I have already downloaded the first two downloads and I am wondering if the last download file from internet explore is absolutely necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aaroon.

Also what's the worst case scenario if I don't download the last file: KB3125574 ?
