Windows constantly checking for update, ive tried every suggestion :(
Hello Everyone,
I really hope somebody can help me and apologies for another thread relating to this, however I have tried everything mentioned in the other posts to no avail. I have a clean install of windows 7 Pro sp1 and when I try and do a windows update I constantly get Checking for updates... It has sat on this for 2 days!
I checked this forum and google and have tried just about every suggestion I can find!
- Stopped the widows update service, renamed/deleted the software distribution folder, restarted the service / windows update reset
- Reinstalled windows
- Tried a different hard drive
- Changed intelligent background services and windows update services to auto
- Used to update repair tool
- Tried installing various KB updates manually
- Tried wireless, straight into the router and somebody else's internet
- Safe mode, disk cleanup
- I also tried the windows update fix and this just stays on "Searching for updates..."
It is extremely frustrating
I manually downloaded Security essentials and when that tried to update, that just stayed on searching for updates,
I have spent a good week now trying different suggestions, re-installing windows and even a new HDD and am at my wits end with it!
Please kind people..Save me from going insane!!!
