Windows Update never return from search<\/h1>\n

The issue after installing 8.1 from scratch was that Windows couldn’t find any updates. Additionally the search for updates do not return from searching.<\/p>\n

After ages of searching the right way to fix this issue to bring the automatic update mechanism to work. In several threads I found description to use the Windows tool http:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/?linkid=9830262<\/a>. Unfortunately it’s not helpful at all, even saying it’s fixing this and that. Also information to do factory reset, Windows install from scratch or return to a previous save point is finally just a way to burn you time. It counld not help me to make the search for update process running.<\/p>\n

Finally I found this great site http:\/\/wu.krelay.de\/en\/<\/a>. Simple source to the point of information could save a lot of time.<\/p>\n

After following these instructions it still took 1 day to download all fixes between 2014 and today and do several restarts during installation.<\/p>\n

Plan to run it at least over night and next day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
