Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

Windows Update Stuck at Checking for Updates

This may or may not be the same issue you are having, but it presented itself in a similar manner. I thought that Checking for Updates was stuck also, and tried a number of steps to resolve that issue, including the steps suggested by Jenicel, but nothing
was working. I tried running the WIndows Update Troubleshooter, and it was hanging on "Checking for pending restart" just as you said. I reran Check for Updates, and let it run until I eventually got the error message "There
were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x800705b4)."

After some digging on this error, I went to "Advanced Options" in the Windows Update page and unchecked "Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows." I reran Check for Updates
and it now is in the process of downloading updates - they have not finished yet, so I can't be certain that this will resolve my issue, let alone yours, but you may want to give it a shot. Best of luck.

 

w10 update stuck on "checking for updates"

I have a desktop running w10 pro that has windows update stuck on checking for updates. I left it on for 6 hours and it still is stuck. I tried to stop using net stop, but got an error saying the service could not be stopped. Services says the updater
is stopping, but seems to be stuck there also - cannot select stop. Any suggestions?
