Having a backup would have served me well too, ah well. I always forget system images are a thing, too. Regardless, Windows Update sorted itself out, it just took an obscenely long time for it to get past "checking for updates", and then even longer to install them all even though it was less than a gigabyte total.

General Computer Support / [SOLVED] Need help - can't get Windows Update to work

« on: August 03, 2016, 11:34:46 pm »

For the leadup to this current problem, it's best to just read this. I haven't had proper, problem-free use of my computer and everything on it for five days now.

Right now, my primary problem is that I can't for the life of me get Windows Update to work. Earlier it was just that it would sit forever on 0%; before that, it was right after a system refresh, and the installing updates screen informed me that there was a problem and it was reverting to before I tried to do the updates. Now, I've run the all-in-one Windows Repair program from this site, done all the proper reboots, and it's just sitting on "Checking for updates" endlessly. I need to get these updates installed, because I'm having other software problems that are up to the "make sure Windows is fully updated" troubleshooting stage.
