Windows Update giving error code 80071A91
Hi y'all,
I'm having trouble with Windows Update.
Since yesterday around noon, I have not been able to install the rest of the updates that the program said needed to be installed.
I turned my computer on, and WinUp said there were 25 updates ready to be installed. I clicked Install Updates and after a few minutes it said some updates weren't installed and gave me error code 80071A91. Only 8 updates installed (most having to do with .Net stuff) and the other 17 I have had no luck installing. The updates that haven't installed are in the screen shot I attached- at least I believe it attached
Anyway, I also noticed Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-based Systems (KB2879017) was "behaving" funny. I ran WinUp with only this update to install and it said it did install it. When I restarted, and reopened WinUp the update was not on the list. I tried installing the rest of the updates, and when they failed and I clicked on View Important Update, "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-based Systems (KB2879017)" was back.
I'm not entirely sure what to do. I have done the following to try and fix:
1. Error checked Local Disk C. Tried WinUp, no luck.
2. Defragmented, then error checked again, and ran WinUp, no luck.
3. Did the command prompt sfc /scannow. Restarted. Ran WinUp, no luck.
Please help me. I thought I took very good care of my computer. I always update when updates are available. I've had McAfee Total Protection since day 1 (July 2010)- there has never been a time where I didn't have protection.
Please help!
