windows 10 searching for updates forever

As soon as KB3102810 finished installing (no reboot required), the 0% started clicking away and the updates for the Windows 10 upgrade started moving like it should have from the beginning. While I was doing this I had left the Windows 10 upgrade churning away at the Checking for Updates stage. I downloaded the KB3102810 patch and ran it. Now on a previous Windows 7 rebuild I had an issue with Windows Updates never getting past the Checking for Updates, so I thought I'd try the same fix with this one even though I didn't have a problem checking for updates in Windows 7. I dug around online, but didn't find anything that was really promising.

After canceling the install, waiting for the clean up and then redownloading again (I found now that I didn't have to redownload) I had the same issue.

It promised 'This may take a few minutes', but that was out the window. The 'Checking for Updates' started, but stayed at 0% for hours so I knew there was an issue. At the next step is where the problem started. I ran the installer and the update downloaded and verified itself. I went directly to the Microsoft page for the Windows 10 upgrade as this was a fresh Win7 build and I didn't want to wait for the update to come. I've done several Windows 7 to Windows 10 upgrades and haven't had an issue until now.
