I have windows 7, and for the past few months I am unable to update windows.

Windows update is stuck at downloading 0kb 0% and after viewing all the similar posts around the web regarding this problem I still cant fix it, even after trying everything (stopping and restarting the service, disabling av and firewall, delete softwaredistribute folder and so on...).

Im desperate, please help.

    Still nothing. Nothing makes this problem go away.

    Any other ideas?

    I had the same problem but I noticed that the hard disc was still flashing (suspiciously). I decided to check the windows update cache (C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download) and noticed that this folder was slowly being added to...

    50 minutes later on a T1+ connection Windows had downloaded all 95 updates. It remained on "Downloading 95 updates (0 KB total, 0% complete)" the whole time...

    I was experiencing the same problem, but now it is resolved...

    I used SpeedPC Pro to repair registry and stuff, restarted the PC. Used 'Fix it' and then checked for updates again and that's it, Done!

    Hope this helps
