I recently purchased a new Surface Pro and kept updating all of the latest patches etc. Now when I go back to Update, all I get is a spinning circle and nothing comes up. I was at least expecting some messaging stating there are no new updates, but all I get is a spinning circle. Any ideas why nothing is coming up?
Surface updates
- Thread starter gman713
- Start date
Okay, cool! Thanks for your quick responses. I'll try later tonight. I read a few folks had the same problem on the MS Community forums. One method stated doing a clean boot if the troubleshooter doesn't work. The only thing I installed last was MS Office 2013, but I was able to install two rounds of updates prior to this last issue. I think the last update contained a bunch of .net 4 patches.
I used the Windows update using the tool and the tool actually corrected an error but when I ran the System Update from the Charm bar, all I got was a spinning circle and a blank page. So I did another system update check from the desktop control panel and it found an update and installed it fine (for windows only, not the Surface Pro). I rebooted and rechecked from the control panel and it finally stopped checking and stated I was up-to-date. I'm not sure why the desktop update worked fine but not the from the Charm bar location.
