Can't Update Windows Updates

[SuperDave]

Is there still a problem with updating?

 Yes. It gets to "installing number 7 of 86" then freezes.

I was speaking to a friend last night who re-furbishes computers for schools and he said for almost a month they have been having trouble downloading updates for Windows 7. He said sometimes if you leave the computer on long enough you will get the updates.

[BuyDell]

I'll give it a try. I'll leave it on all night.

Just to give you a update, I restarted my computer and started 80 updates over again. It's been 4 hours and its still at "installing update 1 of 80".

By the way, my updates are downloaded, they just don't get installed for some reason

[SuperDave]

This appears to be a problem with your computer that, unfortunately, I cannot solve remotely. All I can suggest is that you take a look at some of the suggestions here.

 I upgraded to Windows 10 and up updating problems went away. Just thought I'd pass it along.

I'm glad for you. Thanks for the update.
