[SOLVED] windows Update runs and runs

cesmart4125 · Mar 14, 2016

Initially, I was unable to download kb 3080446 and kb 3140410 using Windows Update or manually from the download pages.

Then I restored my computer using an image I made after updating in February. Next one of two error messages appeared: either Windows Update Error message 80070003 or Windows Update error message 80072efe. I resolved these problems by following the instructions on these pages: Runtime Error and The page could not be displayed - Microsoft Windows

Now Windows Update runs for 2 hours and then gives me the updates for
February. (Somehow it's gotten rid of my updates for February and is
now telling me to install them.) There are no problems downloading updates for Java, Flash Player, Air, Acrobat Reader, and Shockwave.

Win 7 SP1, Office 2010 SP2, 4 GB ram, Intel duo core processor T7100.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi cesmart4125 :)

My name is Aura and I'll be assisting you with your issue. To me it looks like you don't have any Windows Update-related issue right now, or did I read your first post wrong?

Windows Update runs for two hours or more before finding updates. Is this normal? Thanks for helping me resolve this.

On a fresh installation of Windows 7 SP1, yes it is. After that, it shouldn't be that long. The following article came out yesterday.
