updates failing to install I was having the same problem - so I installed manually 2 at a time. Worked for me 30 minutes ago. Good luck! | My System Specs | | |

Seems like Windows Updates have been really borked this month, including mine. I also went the individual install route after an update reset, sfc scan, and a System Restore.
No one has come forward with an explanation yet though.

Dom Hi Dom,
Sorry it took this long to reply, I was on vacation. I see you have discovered the manual updates solution but thought I would still reply. I never did find a solution. Pretty much gave up as I was not prepared to do a clean install. I am doing the updates manually and it has been working fine that way. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Gateway DX4840 OS Windows 7 Pro 64bit CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 Memory 1 TB 6GB RAM Monitor(s) Displays Gateway 22" Internet Speed DSL high speed Windows updates are failing to install problems?
