I recently wiped my SSD and did a fresh install of Windows 7, and now im having troubles with windows update; specifically, if i try to go through the control panel etc., the wizard continually says 'searching for updates' and will never change. Ive tried downloading the System Readiness Tool through microsoft (
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20858 )and that too will continually sit on 'searching for installed updates.' I also tried the WSUS offline installer (
http://download.wsusoffline.net/, and that seemed to install SOME updates, but it still hasnt solved the original issue of windows failing to update.
This all came about as i tried installing Plex, and im getting a system error saying that api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing. I tried to update that, ran into the whole windows update issue.
Im running Windows 7 Home Premium, legit copy, not pirated, using SP1
Intel Core i5-3570K CPU
16gb RAM
64bit OS
not sure what other info i should be providing?
