    Recurring Problem with Updates


    I have 2 computers with Windows 7. My laptop has Professional and my netbook has Starter.

    The problem I'm having is with the Starter version. Every other time I boot up, I get the message that Windows is configuring updates. It finally times out and says that the update failed. It finishes booting up and then when I log off, it will say that Windows is installing updates. This has become a recurring problem. Any ideas?
