Batu69 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The issue has already been confirmed on Windows 7 and 10 Microsoft rolled out this month’s Patch Tuesday updates a few hours ago, and everything seems to be running smoothly in the majority of cases, at least as far as installation of new bulletins is concerned. It appears, however, that some users are experiencing a different type of problem that’s less common for a typical Patch Tuesday cycle. Reports coming from users running Windows 7 reveal that Windows Update hangs when checking for updates or when downloading them, and the svchost.exe process CPU usage skyrockets to 100 percent. Avoid checking for updates manually At this point, it’s not yet clear why this is happening, but after trying the common workarounds, some users have decided to disable Windows Update and wait for a fix to be provided. Most likely, this is a server-side issue that’s going to be addressed soon, but for the moment, it blocks users from installing updates that would patch critical vulnerabilities in their software. “Having same exact issue. Last month it took the most 10 minutes to show my updates. It has been 4 hours now and it is still ‘checking for updates.’ The service is running my CPU 50 %,” one user explained. “The update check completed but now the downloading of the updates seems to be hanging. Green bar just keeps rolling along same as it did when checking for updates,” another one added. We’ve also come across some similar reports of Windows Update hanging on Windows 10, but for the moment, this seems to be a rather isolated issue, so it remains more widespread on Windows 7. The only solution in this case is to wait and avoid checking for updates manually, as Microsoft is expected to come up with a fix anytime soon. It remains to be seen if similar issues will be experienced today, but given the fact that many PCs have already received Patch Tuesday updates, the service should return to normal in the coming hours.

Kalju Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I do not know why and who need always such strange stories, that can not be mounted and hangs and so on. Have not had any problems never. Also with this latest update was not. I updated in a number of different computers in parallel (simultaneously), had no problems. Some of them were ready in 15 minutes, some took a bit more time.

I dont see no were it happened to no one but windows 7 users Link from the op so the title is very deceiving Its not about windows 10. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-update/windows-update-hangs/dbd539c3-bfc6-42df-a6ff-0e55ef7938eb?page=1 And updates on windows 7 are hell anymore and people who;s only support answers is problems dont exist because they dont happen to them is not worth a plug nickel . My advice to people on windows 7 is to hold off tell after patch Tuesday to update because the servers are being hammered i had trouble with it before and the next day it was fine, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manju Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Windows 10 Insider Preview 14316 not showing any WU installed.... :\ nor did the previous build before this one did.... going to WU Catalog site and manually download the latest files, doesn't seem to work, because Windows says that those updates don't apply to my system!

Only advice i can give you is just use the slow ring tell they force you to update to redstone in july-aug and just test preview in vm , Windows 8.1 always updated like a champ for me two different pcs Windows 7 if you dont have auto updates on it takes a long time to get the updates up and there's many people with updates truned off to prevent windows 10 from installing patch tue is not a good day with auto updates it done them when it was ready . Windows 8 updates messed up in it on me a lot when they still had them too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airstream_Bill Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I had no trouble other than it took an hour or so. I have noticed in past updates that it is not a continues Download when it is updating. The download stops for awhile and then resumes. At least that is how it works here on my end.
