what was the update?

Lets start with basic fixes

How do I reset Windows Update components?

Hi shawn77. I tried the fix. Also tried another very similar fix suggested by MS in the updates dialogue. But none worked.

Details of updates in attached screenshot.

Install them one by one and post here the result

Missed your last post. But just installing one update at a time worked great. The ones that failed worked after some of the other updates were installed. So i think it was a matter of order of the updates that was creating problems.
So all problems resolved.
Thanks so much shawn77! :)
I owe you one.

you are more than welcome :)

Hi shawn77, wondering if you could help me as I'm having similar issues?

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Here you go

Copy and Paste the following code into the textbox.

:OTL
:Files
C:\Windows\SysWow64\mscanduin.dll
ipconfig /flushdns /c
:Commands
[PURITY]
[emptyjava]
[EMPTYFLASH]

Then click the Run Fix button at the top.

• Click .
• OTL may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
  On reboot,you should be able to start security center service

Thanks shawn77, you're a legend. I have been trying to fix this for days and in the end you made it easy.

Cheers
