Windows 7 - Windows update stuck at 0kb 0%

Anonymous

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 forced an update on Windows Defender that took an exorbitant amount of time. Miraculously though, the updates finally started downloading on their own after this update completed. This was after 3 weeks of struggling on and off with it.

I followed all of the steps in Method 4 and it solved it for me. I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64.
