Solved Update fix tutorial needed

[daniellouwrens]

Hi

I have had to do an automated recover install from the recovery drive on my Laptop
because the install got corrupted and was very slow.

I have now done three recovery installs and after each one Windows update runs for ever
but goes nowhere, I have done a 24hr and a 28hr test with no results.

I tried the fix here

the video and the fixes on the accompanying page to no avail.

I tried a search but get so many results and have tried many with no good results,]

Is there a Tutorial that I can follow with steps on the way until a good result it reached.

Thanks and regards

Daniel

Hi

Ran each of the suggested fixes in order, rebooted after each and did a 4 hrs scan for updates between each and
all failed except the install of KB3138615 which fixed the problem.

Update found 157 updates which installed and a followup scan has been run and 17 found and installed.

Problem fixed...

Thanks you for your help.

Regards

Daniel
