In a few rare cases, a Windows Update has been known to cause a problem, but that’s very uncommon.

Try opening your windows update app and try installing from that menu, you should be able to see an installation failure there, and you may have a link provided directly to Microsoft and that might save you some time searching around. I've had a series of different error codes, and after trying seemingly endless interventions, the current codes I'm receiving are: 800B0100 8024200D The first has been there since the beginning. It says i have an update and it attempts to update while taking quite a while it seems to complete and then the system goes off. The updater is completely legitimate from what I can tell, however I do not have an update available.So the updates are downloaded, and then they’re just sitting there waiting to be installed.At this point, if you don’t do anything with your computer, those updates will be installed automatically at 3 am the next day.Hello, Every time I shut down the PC, Windows 7 tries to install 9 updates. It looks like something causes the update procedure to fail and so it keeps on trying the same updates over and over again, seemingly forever. Anyway, it wastes a lot of time when I am waiting for the computer to shut down, which seems to take 10-15 minutes nowadays.Next day, when I shut down again, I find it is again trying to install 9 updates. It is frankly a mystery to me as to WHY it should fail in the first place, since it it basically Windows 7 trying to update Windows 7. Is there any way to get the updates to work, or else to stop it doing this the whole time?
