Hi This is the strangest problem I have ever seen on windows.
Basically I clean install windows.
No 3rd party software installed.
Windows updates set to check but not download and install (same as I have always configured windows).
I check for updates it finds them.
I choose the updates (all important updates) Now the problems.
Some of the updates download and install but certian updates will not download.
No error occurs it just sits there.
One such update is the IE11 cumulitive security update, it downloads to 27% and sits there forever, whether I give it 1 hour or leave it overnight, it stays at 27%. I thought maybe I have a bad image, but I redownloaded the iso, reinstalled, same problem. Any ideas? The things I can think off.
1 - Its a bug, but surely if was would be lots of complaints of same issue on the net.
2 - Its my isp, likewise my isp forums be full of complaints.
3 - Its my network equipment? possible but I dont have the issue on an my windows 7 machines, and all other internet stuff is ok.
Obviously this is a first step, I cannot deploy win8.1 to my rigs like this. All I can think off is trying to get either a 8.1 iso without update 1 integrated, to see if that works. Or a 8.0 iso.
