To start off I'll list specs to see if someone can spot an immediate problem:
-Windows 7 Home SP1 64
-Sandisk Ultra II 500gb
-Geforce GTX 1080
-AMD FX-6300
-ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0

The best way I can describe the problem is that anything you would download off of Windows Update will not download/install to my computer. This includes Windows Update itself being stuck at "Checking for Updates" for hours and whenever I plug something in it takes ages to find the drivers and start working.
