HI

I have a slight problem on my Window 7 Ultimate? When I boot up- Configuring Window updates 0% complete comes on and stays for 10 min. After 10 min it tells you fail and boots up normally. How do you get rid of this? I have tried disabling all antivirus software, but no luck, it can’t update. Any suggestions what to do?

First, make sure the system date and time is set properly. Incorrect settings will cause updates to fail.

Reset Windows Update in Windows 7

This happened to me this week too on my two Win7 machines -- one 32-bit and one 64-bit.

As soon as the system boots into the desktop, click the START button.

In the search window type, windows update, and click on the resulting search shortcut Windows Update.

In the Windows Update window click "Check for updates"

When the Recommended (or Important -- I cannot recall which) updates are revealed, install them one by one in this order:

KB2492386

KB2515325

KB2522422

KB982018

Reboot when it asks. (I think only the second one required a reboot.)

Strange, my windows updates have failed since the 27th, except the one for MSE. The failed ones were KB2492386, KB2506928 and KB982018. Anyway I have just selected them one at a time and in that order and they went in. Only the last one required a reboot.

Check for updates > Install > Reboot (when prompted).

I never ran into any problems.

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate -- fully updated.
