well, it could work, but I'm wondering how it can be possible, if KB3145739 & KB3153199 don't modify and don't update none of the files related with Windows Update.
Windows 7 Updates not downloading.

My Windows 7 machine will not download updates. I have the system setup for manual selection and installation of updates. When I choose the updates I want and say download, the "Downloading updates" screen displays and does nothing. It says it is downloading 123 updates, but it sits at 0 KB total, 0% complete. Please help.

2016-05-12T08:08:52+00:00 I can confirm that installing KB3153199 fixed the problem (Win7 Home Premium x64 SP1). Windows update started downloading updates after couple of minutes of thinking and found 14 important updates.

2016-05-13T01:08:36+00:00 I tried to download the update. Windows Update Standalone Installer opens. It searches for updates on my computer. That's where it stops. It keeps searching endlessly. Doesn't do anything more.
