There's more than one file, is it safe to delete them?

Yes, you don't need them - just delete the contents of the Downloads folder - not the Downloads folder itself.

Nope it is Windows Test Update, there is one in Important and one in Optional. Both fail to install. I assume it's not the data corruption like I thought but something else

Error during windows update installation

Hi SIW2,

I have problem on installing KB979683. It says Code8007065E. I also downloaded the msu file but still it won't get installed.

I tried what u explain by deleting all the files on C:/windows/SoftwareDistribution/Download. It works for 5% installation only and then Code80073712 appears as another error.

Please advise what to do?

Thank you
