Windows Update Stuck Checking for Updates forever

If your windows 10 update stuck then you must stop the Windows Update service by going to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right click on Command Prompt -> Select “Run as Administrator” and type " net stop wuauserv " and after it delete the files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistributionand . Make sure to delete all files in “DataStore” and “Download” folder. Now in last just start your Windows Update service again by running a command " net start wuauserv " . Once all done then just restart your computer and your problem related to Windows update will surely get fixed. Thank you 

Good reference...but the OP has Win 7, not Win 10.

I think whether it is Windows 7 or Windows 10 the process is same. Thank you
