Updates :: Checking For Updates (Forever Running)

Oct 1, 2015

Previously I had an update which windows kept on updating and undoing the update for some reason. After which i tried to find for a solution online and somehow deleted the entire of the Software Distribution folder located in the C:Windows folder.

Right now my windows update is unable to find any updates at all as it is forever on the "Checking for updates" section. I've tried using the command prompt to scan the SFC ("sfc /scannow") and also the re-creation of the SystemDistribution folder through stopping the service, deleting it and then starting it again... but it's still the same.

Installation :: Setup Hangs On Checking For Updates?

Aug 30, 2015

I am currently using windows 7 64-bit.

I downloaded windows 10 from the ms site (the automatic icon never appeared on my pc), and am using the media creation tool.

All goes fine until 'Getting Updates', when it hangs on 'checking for updates'.

I have tried playing with the settings in Windows update, but suspect the problem lies in there somewhere... my windows 7 was recently proving unable to install all its updates also. I've tried various solutions for that but no luck.

Is a clean install the answer?

Installation :: Upgrade Install Stuck On (Checking For Updates)

Feb 10, 2016

I've decided to upgrade my Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 with the free upgrade. Unfortunately, it has been stuck "Checking for Updates" for the last 30-45 minutes. Is this normal? I've updated two laptops, one Windows 7 Home and one Windows 8 and it didn't take nearly this long. I'm afraid I'm stuck in some kind of loop.

Updates :: Definition Updates For Windows Defender No Longer Show Up On History

Jan 16, 2016

Not sure if it's just me, but for some reason, since the Jan 12 patch Tuesday, I no longer see definition updates for Windows Defender on Windows Update's "View your update history" page.

I, for one, am happy about this change, since those "Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602" were clogging up the update history page.

Updates :: Auto Updates Breaking HP Network Printer Driver

Feb 10, 2016

Auto Updates have 'broken' my HP Network AIO Printer's driver. Repeatedly. On all four networked PCs/Laptops in my household. Requires uninstallation then re-installation of printer driver to regain network printer access/functionality. I and my family are just so impressed </sarcasm>Indeed so impressed that my daughter just bought a MacBook. It behaves perfectly.Seriously considering going over to the dark side as it appears that 'it just works' isn't just a marketing slogan.

Updates :: Remove Update From Control Panel Check For Updates

Jan 26, 2016

I'm trying to intstall updates for Windows 7 in Control Panel/Check for updates/Install Updates, but Upgrade to Windows 10 is on screen and I can't seem to proceed without the update. I already tried it and I don't like it so backed out. I don't want to upgrade and want it off of my computer. How do I remove it and all the components associated with it? I only use it for personal use, email, Facebook, a few games, etc. and not for business. 10 was too confusing and there's no one over my shoulder teaching me a new system and where all my stuff went.

Updates :: Updates KB3097617 And KB3093266 Repeatedly Failing To Install?

I've been struggling for a while with KB3093266 not installing, and now KB3097617 won't install either.

They download and do the install prompt, then restart. But upon restarting, it says the updates have failed and reappear in Windows Update. Tried the standard troubleshooter, and by resetting WU to no avail.

Updates :: Stuck In Searching For Updates / Alternate Method Won't Work

Aug 14, 2015

I am trying to install the .net 3.5 update for my Windows 10 Pro rig. I tried the usual way (enabling) with no luck: the system sits on searching for file and never goes anywhere. (I let it search overnight with no luck). I tried the method suggested HERE with no luck either (it sits there telling me the image version but never starts the "Enabling Features" process. I've let it sit there for 30 minutes with no success.

I am trying to do the second step via a Windows 10 USB install, not a DVD. I didn't bother trying to create an ISO since I didn't think that would matter. In either case, I feel really stuck. I am unable to run a few legacy games because of this stupid .net 3.5 issue. It's really frustrating.

Updates :: Can't Run Windows Updates - Keep Getting Request To Free Up Space

Feb 23, 2016

I cant seem to run MS Windows and Office auto updates (or manual).

keep getting the following message

'Updates are available, but we temporarily need 489.48 MB-489.48 MB of space to download. Remove some things you don't need right now and we'll try again.'

There is currently 10.6GB of free space on the system partition.

I have just (on Friday 20 Feb 2016) installed the Windows 10 upgrade from the MS site.

Took 6/7 attempts to finally get it done.

HDMI driver not working

Audio not working properly (keeps saying USB Audio playback default) I don't have anything plugged in. I have a realtek HD Audio installed.

Wifi is very flaky.....keeps disconnecting or reporting limited connection intermittently......15/20 times a day.

Running virgin Superhub, with 150mb pipe,

everything was working perfectly prior to the Upgrade from windows 7 sp1 to Windows 10.

Updates :: Only 3 Windows Updates Installed After Clean Install

Jan 5, 2016

I cleaned installed Win10 Pro using the Media Creation Tool and how come I only got 3 updates? I am assuming I would get more updates than these.

Running version 1511 build 10586

Is it because Win10 is too new ???

And I kept pressing the Check for Updates button and it said no more new updates.

Updates :: How To Stop Updates During Public Powerpoint Presentations

Sep 1, 2015

I am running Windows 10 via Boot Camp on the new MacBook Retina. I have always had the slimmest/lightest notebook as I travel extensively for work and the new Apple product is impossible to beat in that regard (and Sony went out of the VAIO business). I hate OSX, never run it, I just boot straight to Windows 10 and things are awesome. Except...

I am usually the key presenter at important board meetings and customer meetings. I have a big/heavy notebook at work which I use 90% of the time, but when I hit the road I'm using my sleek/light Windows 10 MacBook. Issue is, when I arrive at my destination and am shown to the presentation room, I boot up Windows 10, launch the Powerpoint file from Dropbox, and -boom-, within 5 minutes I'm speaking in front of a large group.

I am concerned that at my next presentation, I'll whip out my thin/light notebook and as I start presenting I'll see some message about Windows 10 updating -or- Windows 10 needing a reboot to install updates.

Does Windows 10 know enough not to interrupt a full-screen Powerpoint presentation? Is there a mode to disable automatic updates? Or with its new update protocol I am at risk of an embarrassing update moment at my next series of live presentations?

Updates :: Any Way To Restrict P2P Updates To Specific Networks?

Nov 17, 2015

Is there any way to restrict the peer to peer sharing of Windows Updates (WUDO, just so this shows up in searches) to only specific local networks? I know I can say to get/share updates with PCs on the local network, or local plus internet. But I'd like to restrict this further - don't share on every local network I happen to be on, but only on the local network when I'm at my office, for example.

All of my users have laptops, and most travel extensively. We have bad bandwidth at the office, so the P2P would definitely be nice. But I don't want them sharing updates when they're travelling, as they're often in locations with strict (and/or expensive) capping. Is there any way to do this without the user having to manually turn the option on or off depending on location?

Updates :: How To Set Automatic Updates Detection Frequency

Jan 22, 2016

This is my main operating system:

I am trying to set the frequency detection of Windows update. So, I go to this menu in the Group Policy Editor:

As you can see though, that other setting must be enabled. So, I navigate to its menu and try to set it. I do not know what should I put in those boxes though...

- How can I set the Automatic Updates detection frequency to four hours?
