Windows 7 Pro Nope not yet, just been 1-2 hours so far.

Having the same issue... Updates are stuck on 0%. I've tried resetting the windows updater, deleting the windows/software distribution files. No results with that. All that did was get it stuck "checking for updates"... About ready to install Mint Linux on this thing and forget Windows, not...
