Windows updates doing nothing?

Anyone else had problems with windows updates on windows 7?

Recently put a new SSD in a works laptop and everything is working fine apart from the updates.

Windows is activated and have tried all the hot fixes including windows repair.

Its a decent machine for the office i5 and 8gb ram so ruling out it being to slow.

is this on windows 7 or 10? I'm guessing 7 as a lot of people tend to have issues with windows update on 7

sometimes windows 7 takes ages to decide to update. how long have you left it for? to allow it to update?

Windows 7 mate

Have tried all hotfiexs and Windows repair - Made sure Windows is activated and the date and time are correct.

Left it for a couple of hours max so far.

OP already stated it was 7

.

It's sadly normal, I find myself waiting for hours just for it to pick up the updates. I found however changing the automatic updates time to something close gets it to work. If not then just leave it on over night...

I either do it in batches or just leave it overnight.

Thanks Guys - Will keep my eye on it.

Its not picking them up for me so far so will leave overnight.

Give it a good day to complete. It'll take hours to find update then just as long installing them all. Very annoying.
