So after about a year of not getting to update windows and having it keep telling me windows need to be activated. Windows goes, you are activated you have 138 updates. So after about 2 GB of updates only about half get installed and says the others have failed.
Install drivers according to your hardware from their repsective manufacturers. Check device manager and devices and printers for any yellow exclamation marks indicating a particular driver you need.
When installing windows updates, only do important ones for now, and only install about 5-10 at the top at a time.
Aside from all of that, activating windows is very important. I had a computer that wouldn't activate windows because the hardware couldn't take the (complete) installation of windows (meaning it messed up). I bought a new CPU and then the installation and activation went perfect. But really it could be anything. are you saying windows automatically deactivates?
If Windows is not properly activated, you will have problems- and some downloaded updates may fail to install as a result.
To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.
- **in your own thread**, please
Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine, but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!
How to Tell - Home
windows is working all good now,no clue how that happen, but most the updates that are failing are from april and june so could it maybe be that the other updates over ride them and they might not even be needed?
It's more likely that they've installed themselves later - check the listing by alphabetic order, rather than date order.
Even if you're no longer getting the non-genuine message, you may still want to post an MGADiag report, as the system may simply have slipped into Grace mode (in which case you'll get activation requests over the next few days)
Went all day so far with out the pop up saying this windows in not gen for does my desktop have the this windows isn't gen message any more. Think i did a MGADiagonce when this all started and that didn't do much help it was like it was register but it didn't know it was nor would it let me put any kind of code in.
Please run the MGADiag again, and post the results - they may not mean a lot to you, but they do tell us a lot about the system.

Please don't hide things that aren't already hidden by the tool - it makes life difficult.
Specifically, in this case I need the CID - the second group of characters in the Product ID.
<edit> nevermind - I found your post from Dec 2009 - the CID is -838-, which is fine</edit>
You also need to go to validate Windows to remove an error messagethat indicated that your machine was out of grace period last time you attempted it - www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate
If/when it passes, you'll be offered IE9 and MSE - you don't have to take them!
