    Can't Start Windows Update. Says File Missing.


    How can I post my log here?
    I don't know much about computers and something is going on after updating.
    I work in 6 hours and I gotta go to sleep but will come back when I wake up.
    Also my audio has been disabled which is weird.
    No realtek update works, and when i uninstall audio driver windows keeps installing hd audio drivers.
    does my computer think it has windows 10?

    Please follow the Windows Update Posting Instructions
    and post the requested data

    If the file is too large (8MB compressed), remove the older CBSPersist cab files until the final file is below the limit - you can always post them separately after zipping them. (the forum doesn't allow the upload of bare CAB files, for a number of reasons)

    Please also post the C:\Windows\windowsudpate.log file

    However ... the utility which actually executes the *.msu is WUSA.EXE, the Windows Standalone Update Installer.
    So open a Command Prompt "As Administrator", and run this command:

    WUSA <path>\Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64.msu

    to install the update.
    what do i select to run/open an .msu file? - Microsoft Community

    I added the file name in that, as long as your path and file name are correct it should work for you.
