    No, I think I'll pass...

    Same happened on my desktop PC after clean install, it took WU on 7 about an hour to find updates...
    On laptop it still can't find any updates, even if I leave WU running for 5 or 6 hours...

    Finally, after doing "mild reset" I was able to get updates.
    So, Windows 7 x64 HP, 270ish updates and 7 optional, around 2 gigs.
    Time to make some tea and go through all that stuff with a loop.
