I installed a new computer. After I installed I update everything and let the computer runs for days.

Then I don't know what my daughter do. The computer stop responding.

Windows update no longer work.

People said to run fix it. Fix it run and after that the problem still persist and it still doesn't work. The problem changes though. Before there is some error code. Now windows update simply "updating" never end.

So I downloaded KB947821. It's been 3 hour and it's still installing.

Looks like it hit firewall or something. i don't see windows update on firewall exception list. However, I've never heard that this is an issue. Firewall only protect against incoming transaction, not outgoing right? Or what am I missing.

What should I do?
