    Windows Server 2016 Standalone Installer Update Stuck on Searching for Other Updates


    Hi there,We are currently encounter problems updating Windows Server 2016 using standalone installers.The server is not connected to the internet so we manually download the Windows update standalone installer and transfer it to the server.We then run the standalone installer but it is always stuck at 'Searching for other updates on this computer'.We tried to set the Windows Update service to 'Manual' and no configuration on Windows Update on group policy.After manually killing the standalone installer service from the task manager and try to restart the Windows Update services, it always hang

    :)

    FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

    Pros:
    • No need for a script, easy to apply manually
    • Much smaller download, seems that KB3020369 is not required, only SP1 is needed
    Cons:
    • Windows Update Client downloaded by the script is newer (June 2016 version is included in KB3172605 instead of March 2016)
    • You will still need to download/install hundreds of updates afterwards, most of them are already included in KB3125574 and installed by the script

    FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

    They made it part of the WU client then, or it's two different things doing the same. Too bad you can't download it separately.
