Hi, recently several of my laptops running Windows 7 all stopped getting automatic updates. To clarify all 3 laptops were set to download and install automatically at 3am and would do this regularly but a few weeks back they all stopped. I tried the steps in this post to change the setting to never update and then restarted the computers and then changed back to auto download and that actually fixed the problem on one of the 3 but the other 2 still will not download automatically and when I try manually it just spins and spins and never completes and it shows the last date checked as several weeks ago. When I viewed the history on both that are still having the problem it shows the last updates were also several weeks ago and they were all successful and no failures.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
