Just successfully updated my systems, though my WIN 7 desktop updates would freeze when trying to download and install any of them. Turns out it was likely due to the downloads being corrupted, though don't believe it was on Microsoft's end. Suspected it may be either my AV or firewall, but turns out the likely culprit was a network bandwidth monitoring app that was somehow corrupting packets.
The solution was to stop both Windows Updates and Background Intelligent Transfer Services in services.msc, and deleting all cache files in Windows SoftwareDistribution folder. Rebooted and allowed Windows to re-build those files. Windows Updates now works normally. But didn't realize my desktop was missing almost a month of updates due to this issue.
