Windows Update

[DarakLeaf]

Can anyone help ?

I have been going to windows up date for some time now and the scan produces no results. I have contacted MS but the responses have not helped. See the note copied below.

Any other thoughts as to why the scan does not show any updates.

thanks

This issue can be caused by variety of things. I have outlined some common suggestions below:

We have found that this can be caused if the date on your system is not correct. Please double click on the time in the right hand corner of your screen and set the date, time and time zone to the correct time. This should resolve this issue.

This issue can also be caused by not have English US as the top language in Internet Explorer. To set the Language to English US, please follow the instructions given below:
