Theres an all in one update like a service pack, but not really a service pack. I had a Win 7 Pro box doing that and it fixed it. An update failed and another dependent on it failed. Keeps it from updating.
I think MS was doing it on purpose just before the free Win 10 upgrade ended. Amazingly they started working again when it was over. Did you delete the Win 10 upgrade tool ? |

I've purchased three ThinkPads in the last three months, and each had the long delayed update issue. They now update fine. HTH |

Equipment I build runs on win7. I update one or two pcs a week. Since the windows 10 roll out they have gotten slower and slower. Two weeks ago it was taking around 4-5 hours. Now it is taking 24 or more to complete the update. These are dell machine. They have always finished but take forever with exception of one the other day. It sat for 48hrs checking. I reset the machine and it installed the updates before it reset. Apparently it did download them but the screen never updated.

The Windows 7 update problem is a well known and well documented issue, doesn't matter which version of 7, they are all affected.
Microsoft is aware, but doesn't care, they would prefer you purchase a new machine with Windows 10. If you use the batch/com file a previous poster put up, and purge the software distribution folder, it should eventually sort itself out, but be prepared for it to take 72 hours or more before it actually starts running updates again. Either be patient, or just consider it another good reason to give Microshaft the boot and switch to Linux. |

Turn off UAC,(click start menu, type user, look for the User account control entry, click, slide slider all the way down, ok ok), Download the program, put it on your desktop, unzip the file. Go in the unzipped file, launch "Update Generator". Odds are you have an x64 copy, so select that one. click the Start(lower left side), let it do its thing. When its done, in the same unzipped folder, open the "client" folder. Launch "Update Installer", if you want the machine to automatically reboot, select that option, other just press start. This is how I do all my updates on fresh installs or PC's that haven't been updated in awhile. There are so many updates(250+) that the Windows Update Agent loses it's shit. Now you can beat your head against the wall hard enough(What the Dell techs are doing) to make sure the Agent is actually updated and will work properly. or just use this. |

You may wish to try the solution here: FixWin7Update
Basically, if the machine is out of date by more than a few months, you have to disable automatic update, reboot, install the two updates here the -368 goes first, then reboot and re-enable update. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3020369 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3161608 It's not Dell's fault, that goes to Microsoft on this one. |

It's reasonable to stay on Win7 if you want, particularly if driver support for your HW is holding you back, though Win10 is has merit. I recently had to apply the fix I mentioned above to catch some Dells (and Lenovos) up.

OP,
Go to control panel, go to System, see what Windows 7 service pack it shows. If you don't have SP1, download this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5842 If you have SP1, you probably are already fully updated and it's just sitting there because windows update is wonky. If it still doesn't work, and you have SP1, there should be an update you can download over SP1 to fix it, just have to find it again. Let me know. Can't find the update I was thinking of, but try this, will fix anything that's wrong and update you to current. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20858 |

Not sure if the the other fixes worked for you. But after going through this same issue to no avail this past weekend.
Here is what worked for me. Change update settings to never receive updates. Apply KB3172605 Restart Change update settings to automatic. Check for updates Then it started downloading. |
