Update
Update added 26th April 2015 – Please be aware that it seems that the MSI extraction does not always work with the newer versions of Java, so please see the guide below which shows you how to setup a silent install using the standard offline installer:

Great, glad our guide helped you in fixing your issue.
Yes it should work for Windows 8.
What OS are you using? have you stopped the service before trying to rename the softwaredistribution folder? if you have, make sure that it has not re-started.
Thanks for letting us know its worked for you, makes it worth while the amount of work we put in to putting all out guides together to know that we are helping people out there!
Thanks guys – Worked perfectly with all Windows updates now installed, all is good.

Can you try this command after you have stopped the service:
ren c:windowssoftwaredistribution sd.old
Try typing it in all lowercase. I had the same issue at first try but when retyped in all lowercase letters it took the command.
Thanks. Managed to reach the elevated command prompt. It worked that way.
Searched by Google for "windows 7 install updates stuck". blog.techygeekshome.info was the third hit.
Hello I'm using Windows 7 and I've had this problem, I've followed the instructions however when I go to rename the file it says my access is denied. I've triple checked the name and the file location everything is right and I'm running as administer… So help please!
Does this solution work on laptops using Windows 8?
Yes
I am using Windows 7. My pc stalled on installing update 7 of 19.
When I enter net stop wuauserv it says "Windows Update service was stopped successfully"
I then typed: ren C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution sd.old
and get the" Access is denied" comment
I have right clicked on the command prompt. The dos box header says 'Administrator command prompt'.
I tried updating my Asus windows 8 laptop but it got stuck at installing update 4 of 18. I can't seem to turn it on! What shoukd I do ???
I too am currently stuck on "update 8 of 21". Thanks for letting me know I am not alone. And thanks TechyGeeksHome for the info – hope it works.
Have you run the command prompt as admin?
You must run the command prompt as admin (elevated command prompt, not just a local administrator – there is a massive difference) or this will not work. If you cannot do this, you could try manually deleting the C:windowssoftwaredistribution folder using windows explorer after stopping the Windows Update service. Do this at your own risk though.
Hello, I found your website through google. I searched "stuck on windows update". The site was near the top of the list.
I followed the advice and was easy to follow thankfully.
Worked out great!
Thank you.
