Windows Updates (5/10/2016) - Most failed to install. Reason?
Good evening everyone,
My issue is with today's 'Patch Tuesday' Windows Updates.
[System: Win7 Home Premium SP1 x64]. Computer is a standalone, not on any network, and used only by me.
Description of problem:
There were something like 14 - 16 important updates in today's batch. Most of them did NOT install. (Please see attached screenshots showing this + my current WU settings, at the bottom of this post).
NO error codes are being displayed. WU just keeps saying it is downloading updates. The 'download progress' remains at "0%" the entire time, however.
Resolutions attempted thus far:
1. Ran CCleaner, then tried to update again. No success.
2. Restarted computer 3 times, then attempted to update, without success.
3. UNCHECKED all updates except for 3, and tried updating just those 3.
Problem remains.
4. On the 3rd attempt, after waiting 15 minutes, I cancelled the download/installation.
5. Ran scans with ESET Smart Security (v9), MBAM Premier, and SAS. No issues were found.
My question: Is there an explanation for, & a resolution to, this problem?
The only potential explanation I could think of is the Windows Update servers are too busy???
(Don't recall having encountered this type of problem before).
Thank you for your for time and any help!
