Trying to perform a simple task of installing Windows 7 x64 Enterprise with Service Pack 1 on some virtual machines in my lab to test a product. Windows 7 SP1 comes with Internet Explorer 8 and is very out of date in most aspects for application testing.
After in building a few Windows 7 VM's from my ISO, all of them sat there hanging on "Checking for Updates" for hours.
Ugg... something I didn't have time for as I was trying to test something urgently for a customer.
After installing the latest Windows Update client from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49540 on each freshly built Windows 7 workstation, they then detected updates in 4 minutes and I was able to start patching.
