Windows 7 – Checking for updates hangs

It is rare that I install Windows 7 any more, but I had to do that today.  I started with a clean install of Windows 7 SP1.  When I got to the point I wanted to install Windows updates I started it and let it run.  It hung at the “Checking for Updates” screen.  Apparently, there are two updates you can install to help speed up the process.

For x86:

Install first:  KB3020369
Install second:  KB3172605

For x64:
Install first:  KB3020369
Install second:  KB3172605

I hope this helps.
