I have tried a number of these "solutions," yet I still have this issue. And I know this has been asked, but as I said, no suggested solution has worked. I have gone as far as running a Factory Restore on my system and STILL have issues. The supposed work-arounds Microsoft has suggested don't even download. Has MS actually ended Win7 support early? It's like getting a number nobody answers. This is really frustrating.

(not that it matters, but SOMEONE will ask) Factory Shipped w/ Win 7 Pro SP1 Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Intel i7-3667U CPU @ 2GHz 8 G RAM 64-bit SSD

Tried running over WiFi and Gigabit Ethernet with the same results. I can download and surf everywhere else. Ran Disk Cleanup from Safe Mode Tried downloading direct from MS, but nothing is downloaded. (I also find it crass they actually tell you to "run Windows Update" when that's what the issue is!) Even left my computer up with WU checking all night, nothing. Yes, I have run virus and malware scans. This is happening on a fresh "refresh," too. So...

Is this just Microsoft's chinsy way of forcing people to upgrade to 10? Because it sure seems like it. I've been working with this issue for over a week now, so you can understand my frustration.

EDIT: This is marked as a duplicate but it is not. I indicated I have tried all downloads from MS, none of which have worked. The solutions suggested here have been tried too, so, posting this was a last-ditch effort.

Install both of those updates manually:

kb/3020369
kb/3125574

Note: I don't have 10 reputation, yet, so I can't post the links to those, if I want to keep the article-link in my answer .. but in the link below you can find the links to those udpates.

After a reboot the update-process should work more efficiently. Also, when I had the same problem, I just kept the update running over night and at some time during the night, it actually started doing it's job. If that is an option, you could try that.

This article also might help (it includes the links from above and describes everything in more detail): https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/05/17/simplifying-updates-for-windows-7-and-8-1/
