The problem I cannot run updates on a window 7 computer, because it gets stuck at "Checking for updates". That I have tried:

  1. Disabling the antivirus
  2. Deleting all contents from the update folder
  3. Updating the update client from microsoft.
  4. Running chkdsk /f
  5. Waiting for a whole day to find the updates.

Nothing seems to work.

Edit: Found a workaround. No suggestions helped here. So I used this app to get all the updates manually : http://www.wsusoffline.net/

Try downloading the latest Windows Update agent as they specifically addressed this issue along with how windows would start running the uodate service even though it was set to manual. Also, make sure the Background Intelligence Service, Application Identity, and SPP Notification Service are on. You can check by typing "Services" in your Windows Search bar or by right clicking on your Windows Start menu icon.

If the services are running I suggest resetting Winsock by typing "netsh winsock reset"
