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.

    After all this, it seems the problem was a couple of Trojans that almost no antivirus\trojan removal tool could detect. only after a lot of research and a specific software I finally found the solution....

    I was having the same issue with windows update staying at 0kb and 0%.

    After multiple attempts, the error code I received was 80248007. So I followed the

    instruction on the following page on the Microsoft website and the problem was resolved.

    The problem was fixed after following Method 1 on the page mentioned.

    Hope that helps anyone who is having the same problem.

    For me it was more of an visual bug.

    I started the updates and it was at 0% for almost an hour, while researching on google what is happening, it turned to 99% and then 100%.

    Try to give it time and see if the helps.

    Had 74 updates

    Well what worked for me in Windows 8 is go into IE, tool internet options, connections tab, LAN settings, un-check "Automatically detect settings", close IE.

    Try that in Win7.

    Just turn off windows firewall!

    I've been a day stuck with this and the only and simply thing that worked was turning windows firewall off.
