I regularly update my machine using windows update i get daily updates of windows defender from microsoft, which i update regularly basically i feel they are definition updates yesterday i also got an update of the same which was approx 860 KB , everyday i get these types of update and it hardly takes a minute or two to get downloaded and updated,
However yesterday i clicked on instal update and it didnt download at all i waited for 15 minutes but it didnt download atlast i had to click on stop/cancel download after clicking the screen of windows update hanged and didnt close i tried to close it using task manager but of no hope it was neither listed there, atlast i had to close all my running apps and giving alt+f4 shut down my machine and again restarted it again trying to open windows update but an icon appears on the taskbar but it doesn't open.
Please help, i contacted hp support assistant technician online they gave me a link of microsoft and told me to install windows update troubleshooter and run it, i did the sameand let it run it was running for about 7 hours but nothing happened after which i have to cancel it and close my laptop.
Please suggest me a solution
