I've been trying to download Updates for my laptop. I've run into the dreaded "Downloading ... (0 KB total, 0% complete)" monster. It runs for hours without any progress.
I've been running it since Monday. I'm not even really upset about it yet. I've got it sitting over on the side & I give it a nudge every once in a while. One solution recommended stopping the the Windows Update Service in Task Manager to see if it would allow installation of already downloaded updates. That gave me 3 optional updates plus a new video driver & a new driver for the touch-pad yesterday, but nothing since. None of the solutions I've found on-line have worked, except that I found a stand-alone installer for a new "Windows Update Client for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2". That *seemed* like it might have installed. I got a BSOD immediately after it reached 100%, but when the laptop restarted I got a message under the Windoze Logo splash screen like "completing step 281 of 281" and then it went into the "updating - please wait". It finally came up to the Login screen like it's supposed to. I'm currently trying to download & install ONE update (the oldest one I could find by release date). Why doesn't Windoze just allow you to sort them by release date? Doesn't look encouraging. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
