Confusing Failed/Successful Status After Update
Hi,
Today Windows Update unexpectedly downloaded 11 patches, mostly hotfixes. I'm still not sure why this happened as most of these patches were dated 2012/2013.
After installing them the laptop stayed on the "Preparing to configure your system..." screen for so long I thought it had frozen, but after an hour or so it rebooted and things seemed to be working normally.
On checking the Update History, it says "Updates were installed today at 21:11 (Failed), even though all of the patches are listed as "Successful" under Status. After checking again, something called Update for Windows is displaying as Failed, but I don't remember seeing this listed with the other 11 patches earlier.
Before rebooting I noticed the yellow Update icon was next to the Shut Down menu, and was still there after the reboot, but it dissappered a few minutes later while I was checking the Update History. I've run a check for updates and Windows seems to think I'm up to date - am I missing something important here?
Thanks,
Christina
