Windows Update Checks Forever

I just reinstalled Windows 7 and now when I run Windows Update it stays on "Checking for updates..." forever (3.5 hours at least).

The only thing I remember doing out of sync was installing the WLAN driver later.

Thanks,
Matt

It's nothing you did Matt. Ever since MS came out with Windows 10 everybody who has Windows 7 is having problems. If you have Windows 7 SP1 there's a Windows 7 update rollup that is supposed to be better, and will take less time to install. It contains the updates after SP1, but you have to install SP1 first.
Have a look here:
