it says... "Installing update 3 of 14...
security update for Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows 7 SP1 x86 ( KB 2937610)
It has been showing this for about 30 minutes now, with no movement on the red progress bar....
I have clicked "stop installation" about 10 mins ago, but no progress further...
Any suggestions ?

I would be tempted to go into Task Manager > Applications and kill the update application. Then re-run Windows Update if the procedure appears frozen.

Never known it to "stick" on one update for over 30 mins though...hence my query... If it is showing as an update still to be applied, I will uncheck it, and proceed, then probably update it as a stand alone item, .... it may "go in" better after all the other stuff has done its best !..
cheers

The particular update fails 1st time around but succeeds on a subsequent attempt.

Now after a re-start... I have the following message...
Windows is up to date..... There are no updates available for your computer
However...underneath that it says.....
Most recent check for updates..... Today at 13:40
Updates were installed: Today at 15:06 (Failed) View Update history
As I finished typing that... got a message saying 12 updates are available showing the "offending" .NET framework update as 35.1MB and another under it as 10.5 MB.... think I will uncheck them and let the rest go first ! ...
Watch this space...
**************************************************************************************************************************************************
16:10 10 updates successfully downloaded and installed..... now going to see about the 2 .Net framework ones......
