Hey all.
Having some serious issues with Windows Update. Apparently it hasn't been updating for some time now and im only just noticing it. It appears to download updates forever (though stays at 0% and never ends up doing anything) I've tried running the windows update troubleshooter (2 out of 3 things were claimed to be fixed, the one that failed being "failed to install recent updates" and the FixIt tool which ran its course and seemingly did nothing by the end of it.
I've been told to try and run the /sfc scannow script at the cmd prompt but on my pc it always gets to 100% and never and i mean never ends up finishing. I left it overnight one night for 8 hours and it was still stuck at 100%. I've retried too, so that scan thing just plain doesn't work.
I'm at a loss here. Not sure what else I can do. Now when I open windows update its telling me its never even been run before and its never installed updates. I'm guessing thats either a result of me running the windows update tool, or it's just %^&*ed beyond belief. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated. This is also causing a refusal for my PC to shut down since the service never stops, even when I try and stop it manually before restarting. Very frustrating.
