Remnants of articles that had been published

While running Windows Update, the screen may appear to freeze without changing with the message "Checking for updates".

This state doesn't seem to change after being left for a few hours, but since the process is running in the background, repeated restarts of the PC will often only reproduce the same state and not improve it. ..

There are many people who are in trouble because the solution to this symptom is not offered on the official Microsoft website.

This article describes a workaround that may help with the "Check for Updates" issue.

However, it is not all-purpose.

How Windows Update works

Windows Update verifies installed updates and Windows Update server updates, selects and downloads updates appropriate for your particular environment. It is speculated that this verification process is a tremendous waste of time.

Standalone update package

To avoid the collation process, manually download and apply the standalone update package that contains all Update files from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

Since there are a huge number of programs on the Microsoft Update catalog (there is a link at the end of the sentence), let's look up the patch number of the update to be downloaded in advance. ※ KBxxxxx

When the standalone update freezes

Even if you run the standalone update package, "Checking the update" If you experience symptoms, you may be able to avoid this problem by the following procedure.

0. Cancel the Windows Update client

Cancel the frozen Windows Update Agent.

1. Restart the computer

If you cancel the Windows Update Agent in the freeze state, restarting the computer is mandatory. If you run the standalone patch without restarting it, the freeze state will be reproduced.

2. Place the personal computer in the stand-alone state

Make sure the computer is not connected to the network. The standalone patch detects the network environment of the PC and attempts to find the Windows Update server, so it is necessary to put the PC in a completely standalone state.

Remove the Ether cable
Turn off the power of built-in Wi-Fi, etc.

3. Run the standalone update package

Applying the patch will end in a few minutes just like a fake state so far.
If freezing symptoms recur, let's check if the network environment of the PC is completely blocked from the Internet. Or, let's update the Windows Update Agent described later manually.

4. End of procedure

Update Windows Update Agent manually

Installing the latest version of Windows Update Agent may solve the freeze problem.

Windows Update Agent is downloaded manually from Microsoft.

After downloading, let's start the installer after putting the personal computer in the stand-alone state. In an environment where the network environment of the PC is effective, it is highly likely that the standalone installer will be frozen.

Download Windows Update Agent: Microsoft

If you enable automatic updating, the latest version of the Windows Update Agent is automatically downloaded to your computer and installed. Alternatively, you can download and install the Windows Update Agent manually.
