Windows 7: Error Message "Failure configuring Windows update"

nagairaj · 05 Jan 2013

I have Win 7 ultimate. For the past few months my computer tries to download the updates and install them automatically, but it does not complete them. I get the error message as above and informs "Reverting the changes". What does this mean and how to fix this problem ?
Thanks for the help.

Thanks Guys. It worked in the first try. I still don't understand what the problem was. I was suffering from this problem for awhile with my computer trying to install the updates every time i boot up this machine and wasting my time. I am so glad I got the help from this form. I should have this help group long time ago. Anyway thanks a very heartfelt one. Keep up the good work.
