Windows 7 SP1 Windows Update stuck checking for updates

Hello jraju, last week my wife's W7 SP1 computer had the same problem of not getting updates. I Googled and found the solution with the rename SoftwareDistribution-OLD routine and although it took quite some time for the updates to download it did resolve the problem. Reading the comments made by "the Member with dots for a name" I must say that although he appears to have a deep knowledge of the innards of computer structuring he seems to have more problems than I have had in thirty years and my knowledge is quite sparse. I do not know the level of his grasp of the English language but he sounds rather terse in his requests and responses to apparent resolving answers. If he continues in this vein he could find offers of help being sparse.

Change your Windows Update settings to Never then download KB3172605 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53335&WT.mc_id=rss_windows_7
This is July's update agent roll up which can help with hung check for updates.
After it has downloaded, change your update settings back to auto or check for but let me choose and that will start the check for updates again.
Give it about half an hour or so and if it still doesn't produce any, use WSUS Offline installer.

Hit the green button under Most recent version, but given what else is wrong with your system, I'd leave the updates until either you have factory reset/repair/reinstall.
