Hi G Man,

Any luck? If Windows Update is still having problems, can you run the System Update Readiness Tool again please, then post the log:

C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

There's a good chance it will work though :)

Tom,

Indeed it has fixed the issue :)

There was quite a delay in it collating all the available updates (over a years worth!) which made me think it had not fixed it.

Thanks again for your help!
