Hello,
I got a used Surface 1 RT with Windows 8.1 running, without any updates installed after the OS update. Windows update never ran successfully. It keeps on checking for updates for an unlimited period of time.
I decided to run the troubleshooter for Windows Update. I got this:
Then, I tried to check for updates, it gave me this error:
