I have tried most of the recommended fixes for Windows Update and have not solved my problem. Windows Update checks for updates for many many minutes and then says it could not update and to check later. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried this already?
Reset Windows Update in Windows 10
If so, please tell us everything you have tried so we don't spend our time only to hear "I tried that already."
Almost never fails. After I post a question in a forum I find the answer. I had been working on this issue off and on for several days. Unchecking getting Microsoft Updates solved the issue. Now updates are being downloaded. Now if I could only stop version 1607 from installing.
