I'm at a loss, I just installed Windows 7 to a fresh SSD. I've tried running the updater all night with no progress, left work, no progress.

I have tried using suggested updates straight from microsoft such as Windows6.1-KB3172605-x64 and Windows6.1-KB3135445-x64. They do the same thing, just sit at searching for updates.

I even tried formatting the drive and freshly installing windows 7 again with no luck. I'm at my breaking point, is Microsoft making it as hard as possible to update so I just give up and move to 10?
