My system tray is telling me "windows is downloading updates (9% complete)". How do I figure out what it is downloading right now? i.e. "KB123456, Flux Capacitor update 2.1c (1.5 MB)" and perhaps monitor progress for a bonus?

The percentage reported isn't changing, or is doing so very slowly. I'm at 90% of our monthly quota and if the download is a big one I'll pause it until next week. However if it's a small one and just stuck I'll leave it alone (and fix it later).

I've found that sometimes you just have to wait, but if it takes a significantly long time try the following:

  • Click the start button and type in services.msc
  • Stop the Windows Update Service.
  • Delete the contents of the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder
  • Start the Windows Update Service.
  • Try Windows Update again.
