Windows Updates Stuck at 0% Forever
I hijacked the thread title from another one that looked like it might be helpful, but of course it was not. In that topic, someone posted that 'KB3172605 is the new magic to get updates working again'.
It seems to NOT be the magic touch for me...
So far I've downloaded
And now
- Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64 - it just looked for updates for an hour before I canceled the task
- WU170509 - got ' an error occurred while troubleshooting - 0x80070002'
- Windows6.1-KB3020369-x64 - it just looked for updates for an hour before I canceled the task
This is an HP G72 Notebook running W7 Home Premium on a 64 bit system. So many of the threads I've located contain Microsoft links that no longer work even though posts are less than a year old. It seems completely absurd that every time a W7 computer has an update problem you basically have to re-invent the wheel. There's no 'Here's how to fix Windows 7 update problems' that seems to work for more than the length of a particular thread.
- Windows6.1-KB3172605-x64 is added to the things that just search for updates but never actually do anything
I have disabled all non-Microsoft services, run the System File Checker (no integrity violations), and run multiple virus, spyware and adware scans.
Trying (twice) to upload the zipped CBS log gave me nothing in the upload windows beyond "This page can't be displayed"
