My System Specs

Default Clean install Windows 7 will not update

Windows 7 just sits looking for updates for hours on end never finding any updates.

Can anyone assist ?

Open the Windows Update troubleshooter

Assuming you've tried to manually update anything, just to see if it works?

Try activating again, if you've only done it once.

It sounds more like the Windows Installer service is corrupted, which would likely point to a bad installation.

I'd check and make sure the hardware doesn't have any errors, be it RAM, CPU or HDD and re-install.
