Windows Update caught in loop (getting updates)

[DaveB_55]

It seems that my Windows Update is stuck in a loop of getting the updates. I tried using a diagnostic executable available on Microsoft's website to fix the issue but it apparently did nothing. Does anyone know any other possible solutions?

You just may have to wait it out, it may seem stuck but it will get through eventually. Alternatively you can use WSUS Offline tool to download and install the updates. Note it will download all available window updates for window 7 so if you have a data cap, you might not want to use this unless it is a clean reinstalled window 7 you trying to update.
