<div dir="ltr">Something else easy to do and that I forgot to mention is to simply let the update keep chugging. I've had some successes (with Win7) in the past by simply letting it run for hours (and hours, and hours...) overnight. Sometimes it would eventually fail, but sometimes it would actually complete and install the KB patches that resolve the problem. This has been a well-reported problem in Win7 for well over a year, as you mentioned. With the big push to get everyone to upgrade to Win10, Microsoft certainly seemed to be in no hurry to fix this wide-spread problem on Win7, but <u>eventually</u> did. (I don't know the exact patch numbers off hand.)</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br><font size="1">Senior Systems Engineer</font><br><br><b>Level 9 Networks</b><br><font size="1">740-548-8070 (voice)<br>866-214-6607 (fax)</font><br><br><font size="1"><i>Full IT/Computer consulting services -- Specialized in libraries and schools</i></font><br></div></div></div></div>

I guess I should clarify what I mean by stuck. When I manually check for updates, it will scan for hours and never show any results. I had this happen with Windows 7 recently and applied a few KB patches and now Windows updates finds results in 3-5 minutes. I am able to stop the Windows update by using net stop wuauserv, but I am sure that you know that. I got a laugh out of your response though.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><span class=""><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_-5741506103467059486gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Kevin Jones</div><div>Network Admin</div><div>Coshocton Public Library</div><div>655 Main Street</div><div>Coshocton, OH 43812</div><div>Phone: <a href="tel:(740)%20622-0956" value="+17406220956" target="_blank">740-622-0956</a></div><div>Fax: <a href="tel:(740)%20622-4331" value="+17406224331" target="_blank">740-622-4331</a></div><div><a href="http://coshoctonlibrary.org" style="font-size:12.8px" target="_blank">coshoctonlibrary.org</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
