    Windows 10 Security Update fails every day..


    Hi, I have windows 10 on my laptop. Every day when I open my laptop, the update pop up comes on the screen and it wants to update some security things.


    But after a few minutes...It fails and the following message comes up.


    Something went wrong.


    Microsoft can't install important security updates on your pc.


    Please contact Microsoft support for help with this matter.


    Please provide the support representative with this error code: 0x80072efd.


    I don't know what is this, I have installed the OS from the authentic source i.e. Microsoft website. I did not buy it from the grey market.


    If anybody has any idea then please let me know. Please help me in this matter, so I can get rid of this problem.


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  3. Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
