I installed Windows 7 fresh and installed SP1. Now, when I try to check manually for Windows Updates it just hangs on the Checking for updates screen.

note:
Cannot install any KBXXXXX
Infinite loop, hang, freeze etc. (?) NON-STOP MESSAGE: "Searching for updates" and nothing else happens for a long, long, long time.

"Easy Fix" OR "FixIt" (Infinite loop also)

OR different error:

Stand-alone Windows installer ERROR

80070422
80246007
80070002

ERROR : 8024402C OR (-2146959355)

ERROR: 0X80070057


Code: 
NOT HELP, STILL ERROR: Windows Update Troubleshooter might be able to automatically fix the problem.





Scripts do not work:
Not found folders
Invalid path
Not found file
incorrect syntax

ATTENTION: Scripts (CMD, REG) cause new, more complicated errors in the my system!
 
How to solve and quickly identify what causes errors?
(If all solutions fail)
 
"Check for updates ..."
This action in the background, is it possible to check this example. Debug log (what exactly does in the background and how it connects etc.)

I just saw your most recent post. That looks better. Please reboot your computer and then attempt to check for Windows Updates.
 
Now I have more problems:
Install automatically the information, some patches Windows 10 and other UNNECESSARY me updates (causing more problems)
I hate Windows 10 and "Telemetry" and other .
I want undo all update. How to ?
 
OK, so can you confirm that Windows Updates now finds updates that need installed?

Can you also confirm that you do not wish to upgrade to Windows 10?
 
I'm trying to assist you but I need answers to my questions.
