Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

Media creation tool hangs downloading Windows 10, Progress 0%

I'm trying to create a bootable USB to install Windows 10 on a new drive. I've downloaded the media creation tool, and I'm running the program as admin, but it still hangs at"Downloading Windows 10, Progress 0%"

There are lots of references to this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution that works for me.

I tried:

• Right clicking to run as admin within admin account
• Running services.msc to check that Windows Firewall and Update are indeed set to automatic and currently running.
• Double checked that my thumb drive is empty and configured as FAT32
• Uninstalled antivirus and other extraneous software
