[SOLVED] Win7 Windows Update stalled - wuauserv->svchost.exe to 100% of 1 core

The System Update Readiness Tool (SUR) took over 90 minutes to complete, so the need for sleep intervened... The CheckSUR.log file generated is attached. Thanks, Tony

Windows 7 Windows Update glitched attempting to install latest updates on my laptop (it hung attempting to download the first update), following which it simply loops for ever driving one core to 100% 'checking for updates'. SFCFix shows SURT corruptions: SFCFix version 3.0.0.0 by niemiro...
