I have been having problems with a new installation with my Windows 7 Home Premium. It will not update from the very start. Seems Microsoft wants to force people to upgrade to Windows 10 with it's abhorrent Security Issues. When I get with Microsoft support they of course can fix it usually by getting 'inside" your computer, but who know what they do while your pc is open.
Thanks bunches.

I have another method of making it update. Go to http://download.wsusoffline.net/ and download their program. It downloads all the critical updates and makes an ISO file. Then write the ISO file to DVD using ImgBurn ( http://www.imgburn.com/ ). Put the DVD in the drive and run the update program. It will install all the critical updates. Then go online to fetch the remaining non-critical updates. I find that after wsusoffline, the download works, because all the necessary components are updated along with the critical updates. This is especially useful for fresh installs like yours.
