Failed Windows updates

[AstroCat]

So i recently built a gaming rig with a 3770k, gtx 780, win7 64bit, 16gb ram, 850 watt psu, msi g45 gaming. Its been running great for a week now, but for some reason today i checked all the installed windows updates and about 40% were failed. i know you can download each manually but is there any faster way of doing it?

Just  reboot your pc,recheck the updates in windows update and install them again , they should all install fine then, every time i reinstall my windows i get the same thing and a reboot + installing them again fixes it (i think its caused by some update it needs first before it can install those)

 

 

If it still doesn't work, you could use http://www.wsusoffline.net/ (Wsus offline updater) , it basicly creates an iso with all the updates so that you can update you windows with it

If updates don't install, reboot to apply the updates that did install, and then install the other updates that didn't install before.

same here usualy it needs update something something first before it can install another the 2e one will fail but after a reboot u can get the 2e one aswell then just repeat the procces :P.

Verry usefull imo to just install SP1 in one time can be downloaded in one pack ;)

so with wsusoffline does it detect what you have installed already?

Make sure your date and time are correct, i had failed updates because my time went off track. Try doing it again with no background programs opened also.

If i remember correctly it just downloads all the updates that you select (its in categories (.net framework updates,essential updates,x86 updates, x64 updates etc) and makes an iso from it and then you can run it and it will install everything it has that you haven't installed yet.

 

But like i said, try rebooting and reinstalling trough windows update first,pretty good chance you will get it fully installed that way.
