I just updated to Win 7 SP1 Home Premium from DVD. It was a clean install from XP. The automatic update feature is stuck on checking for updates. I can manually download, but the automatic update feature does not work. I also tried updating IE8 to IE11. I can manually download the package, but upon application it fails when it tries to download any updates. I also tried IE9 with the same results. I even tried the free update to Win 10. It downloads fine, but fails upon the application, when it searches for updates. All other features of the Win 7 upgrade work fine.
I have searched and read posts from this forum regarding this issue. I have tried numerous suggested fixit downloads, and some other manually downloaded KB updates with no success. It still does not fix the issue. It just keeps searching for updates forever. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
