    YES THEY SHOULD HAVE EASIER WAYS FOR USERS TO FIND HELP WITH ISSUES. AND WE NEED THE FIXES. 

    NOT EVERYONE IS TECH SAVVY...

    Best reply yet Joanne!

    Six pages so far and still no solution. Pathetic support from Microsoft for a problem that seems to be affecting thousands of users.

    sorry non so parlare inglese il mio sistema è aggiornato a windows 10, ma gli stessi problemi li avevo anche con windows 8.1, poi ho scoperto che windows Update era arrestato e riavviato il servizio e controllato anche il servizio trasferimento intelligente backround (BITS) devono essere tutti e due avviati o gli aggiornamenti non si installano.

    After days of trial and error, this did the trick for me:

    1. Open command prompt and type "NET STOP WUAUSERV". This will stop the spazzing Windows Update Service.
    2. Follow up with typing "WUAUCLT /DETECTNOW". This will detect, download, and process all necessary updates behind the scenes. Depending on how many your system requires, this could take A LOT of time. I had 110 updates needed, so it took a while.

    Is this a permanent fix? Probably not, but it should get you up to date on all critical updates released at the point in time these commands are run (hopefully).

    I am on Windows 7

    I received :

    "WUAUCLT IS NOT A RECOGNIZED COMMAND"
