Answer 1

I'll leave it here for posterity, this problem appeared in one of the December 2015 updates.
It is better to follow the sequence:
1. KB971058 - read the instructions on the page.
if it doesn't help
2. KB949104 - Update the Windows Update Agent to the latest version.
3. KB3135445 - February Update for Microsoft Update.
if it didn't help
4. KB3102810 - patch for this bug.
Actions for all of the above updates are as follows:
Download the KBxxxxxx patch for your OS (bit depth, language)
To Control Panel --> System and Security --> Windows Update --> Change Settings --> Never Check for Updates --> OK
Reboot
Install KBxxxxxx Hotfix
Reboot
To Control Panel --> System and Security --> Windows Update - -> Change settings --> Search, but do not download or install updates --> OK
PS
And remember - this is a common occurrence when it first shows 0% for a long time, then jumps sharply to N% and then to 100%, and the creation process takes place checkpoint and install updates.
So be patient and wait for the process to finish (it may take a few hours) and don't restart your PC until Windows asks you to do so.
If none of the above helped at all:

Answer 2

This something in December broke in the Update Center.
Try to download and install this update (it is better to install with the Internet turned off), it helped me.

Answer 3

this is normal, during the search, the Windows Modules Installer Worker process is actually launched, eating 1 CPU core, you can check, it checks what you have installed and what needs to be installed. Actually, in this way, the speed of "search" for updates will directly depend on the performance of your PC.

Answer 4

Known issue. Try to write to MS, maybe they will say something ...

Answer 5

the problem is solved quite easily, but time consuming. but still this time will pass much less than if you carry out the primary search through the update center.
How this can be done is described in this article .
