    installing update during shutdown


    When I shut down the computer, I get a notice that its installing update 1 of 1. This has occurred 4 out of the last 6 times I have shut down. It completes in a few minutes and proceeds to shut down. I would think that one update would be enought. Any suggestions of what is going on?

    There could be a number of reasons - check the Update History and see which update is repeatedly installing (if any)

    This happens on my laptop. I shut it down after every use and get that Windows Update. Sometimes quite a few updates.

    I followed the posted suggestions and even did a complete update using my master O/S disk. It worked fine for a while and has now started in again. Any suggestions as to what I can do now?

    Are you checking and installing updates while windows is running, do that until it`s done and you shouldn`t have anything installing when you shut down.

    I have gone to "Windows Update" and tried to install updates from there but they fail. When I went thru the O/S update using my system O/S disk, I installed a whole bunch of updates at that time. I cannot do it any longer.

    I tried an experiment. I went to Windows Update and selected 2 optional updates plus the one that previously failed. The 2 optional ones were successful but the one that failed previously, failed again.The failed updat is an update to Windows Explorer #10. I don't use Explore as my browser and would just as soon delete the update. Any suggestions?

    Posting the info requested by Noel would certainly help with diagnosing the problem.

    I checked the update history and everyone that has failed has been the one for "Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 for X64 based syustems". That is my system. IE is installed on my system although I never use it.
