| Newbie Rep Power: 5 ![]() | Re: can't install security update Hm.... When I first got my laptop, i had a HUGE amount of updates to install. Like 50. I wasn't aware of that and turned off my laptop after it took like 6 hours and apparently did nothing. When it finished, it said everything failed, I tried again and left it on for it to finish by it self, still failed. What I'm leading to is that sometimes your need to install the updates in small groups. Is it possible your trying to isntall 5 or so security updates at the same time? If so, try installing them one by one. If not, i suggest you go to Microsoft.com and search for the exact update and isntall it manually. Hope that helped. |
