snowkatt: yeah but the problem is that we dont even find any updates
it just goes on and on and on and on or comes back with an error
Ah ops, I misread that, I thought that it froze at downloading updates.
It must be a MS problem, then. O_o

If you're on WiFi, try connecting with an Ethernet cable instead. (Sorry if you already are, beside ruining my mental health, my years of tech support thought me to never assume anything.)

WIndows 7 64 bits here on a desktop and the weekly update went without a hitch. That doesn't help you but just so you know that not everyone can't update while MS server are hammered with Windows 10 upgrades.

Personally, I'd uses WSUS offline update to download all the updates and if necessary slip stream the disc to make sure it has the most recent service pack.

My experience shows you get 10x reliability with a physical connection and 2x the speed usually, and much less stuttering. Any stuttering is usually due to encryption.

Something you might try if you want to avoid using encryption is to tell the router only to assign IP addresses to specific registered MAC addresses. There's no guarantee it will remain secure, but the average Joe won't be able to hack around it.

They download directly from MS' own update servers. If you're paranoid you can even check the reference numbers and checksums.

well it seems to work fine
might be worth telling it to make an iso of the updates

You can, but I usually go with a USB stick so that I don't have to burn a new disc every time.

You don't have to install them manually. Just start the installation-script you can find in the WSUS folder.

Personally I'm using only WSUS for a very long time, never had any issues with it. You may want to disable downloading German language updates with RemoveGermanLanguageSupport.cmd in cmd folder before you start.

One more important information about WSUS Offline Update:

"On both sides, i.e. for download and installation parts, WSUS Offline Update uses Microsoft's update catalog file wsusscn2.cab to dynamically determine the required patches. This catalog file contains at least all the updates classified as "critical" and "security relevant", but it does not necessarily contain all "important" and "optional" ones.

Compared with other competitors, the great advantage of this solution is that no one has to maintain statical download/installation lists, so you may be up to date with your update repository immediately after a Microsoft "patch day", without having to wait for a new release of WSUS Offline Update.

The disadvantage of this implementation is that computers updated by WSUS Offline Update will hardly ever completely satisfy Microsoft's Online Update afterwards, but the patch coverage does completely satisfy Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer, and you also may add any optional update of your choice to both download and installation parts using statical definitions.

Furthermore, as WSUS Offline Update uses "Windows Update Agent" (WUA) to determine the patches to install on client/target side, there won't be any way to support deprecated systems like Windows 95/98/ME and NT.

As a conclusion one has to state that WSUS Offline Update is not a complete replacement for Online Update, but it's not meant to be!
The main goal of WSUS Offline Update is to quickly and safely bring freshly installed Windows systems to a patch level which allows them to be safely connected to the Internet. From this point of view, even the Office part of WSUS Offline Update is a "goodie".

Regards & a happy New Year
