Downloading Updates Seems to Do Nothing ???
I read the stickie and did a bit of searching, but I am not very computer literate and thought better to ask before jumping in over my head.
This particular unit is a Dell Optiplex 780m with Win7 Pro
I have updates set to "show me updates but let me choose"
I selected only the important security updates and got as far as the little box that says Downloading updates...
The progress bar has a green streak that continuously runs it's length, as if something is going on.
It has been at least two hours and it still says "Downloading 30 updates (0 KB total, 0% complete)
This is not the first time I have run into this and also on different computers.
It also says:
Most Recent Check for Updates: 10/20/2016 etc.
Updates were installed: 3/13/2016
According to that, I have been wasting my efforts.
In plain dumbie English, how do I fix or do I just ignore updates and keep on computing (which seems to be the best alternative at this point) ?
Will the System Update Readiness Tool mentioned in the stickie fix this problem ?
Thanks for reading.
