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.

    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.

    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/958046

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

    Hope that helps anyone who is having the same problem.

    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 removed my failing FusionHDTV PCI-E accessory card and all my problems went away.  This was after I had spent several hours installing 108 updates on my new Windows 8 PC three times.  I have no idea how the card could have caused this problem and other equally obscure issues.  Perhaps Microsoft could do some research.
