One of those updates may have been bad if you have a Lenovo

For the record, this latest process today took maybe a quarter of an hour.

Needs to run about 24 hours.  Try that.  You and a lot of others are having 
this problem, not just you.  Punishment for not having Win10?  
You might call the Microsoft Accessibility desk at 800-936-5900.  The first 
time I called I got the problem resolved for 3 weeks then it started again.  
I've called 3 other times and now nothing downloads..nothing even shows in the 
cache for important updates.

My tech says just hang in there and let the machine run 24 hours or so and 
it'll download and install.

Re: [JAWS-Users] checking for updates is stuck in windows 8.1

[Adrian Spratt]

I just installed the current Windows Updates with no problem. I'm using Windows 
7, so I'm not sure this will help Anna's 8.1 system, but maybe the approach is 
similar. Or maybe this won't help at all. At any rate:

In recent months, I've found that accessing Windows Updates via the system tray 
has changed. I must locate the windows Updates within the system tray, then 
press enter. Nothing happens, so I tab twice. Now I'm in a list that's similar 
to the system tray list, but now it's presented as a series of buttons. I arrow 
down to the Windows Updates button and once again press enter. Now at last, the 
updates function starts working. 

You can check the update and installation process by pressing JAWS key+tab. 
Sometimes, I completely lose the updates window, which means I need to go back 
into the system tray and repeat the tabbing process. 

In this instance, once windows Updates had finished installing an update, 
nothing happened. I went back into the system tray to find that another update 
was waiting. So I repeated the process. Finally, I got the restart button.

I cannot get my Windows7 machine to get past checking for updates, or 
downloading a silver Lite update.  I've tried several times and let it try all 
night with no success.
