    Windows couldn't finish installing updates


    My Asus Z68 pc had an update that just refuses to run and gets stuck ina loop after the reboot. it downloads, but after reboot. a never ending loop. I have more computers, but this is the one that this update is just screwed up. I spent 4 hours today trying to fix it. I am almost positive MS screwed up something.. To top it off, some of these updates are things no one cares about, unless it is security, it is usually stupid stuff they add. IMHO. I have to tell my wife I am working on her computer, when in reality MS screwed it up.

    :)
