Windows Updates not downloading

[sconly]

Using Workstation 10, I have a Windows 7 64bit virtual machine and when it comes to Windows Updates it doesn't download them.

I've left it running for a good 5 minutes, at least, but the download progress is still at 0%.  From what I can remember the file being downloaded/updated is approx. 50Mb.

I'm using the same Windows version on the host and that updates without any issue.

The Network Adapter on the guest is set to NAT and I can surf (and download from) the internet without any problems.

Any help, please?

Thanks

Hi Sconly,

1. please wait, i know situations, when Windows shows 0% progress, but it works on updates... wait for 10/20mins and reboot it and check Windows update history.

2. Try to set up your network adapter to bridged

2. you can Stop Windows Update service and empty C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder - may this easy fix solve this issue
