Windows Update Hangs in Vista RRS feed

  • Question

  •  

    I keep trying to submit a support request because my Windows Update hangs while "Checking for Updates"... but the website keeps returning "An unknown application error occurred. Please try again in a few minutes."

     

    When will this be fixed?

  • The question was for Vista but the link you included doesn't list Vista as one of the Windows versions the remedies will address. Still applicable?  I have the same problem on a Sony Vaio laptop running Vista business.
