    Windows Update error 0x80004005 for KB3087040!!!


    The files extension that you d/l should have had MSU and you had a choice of the 32bit or 64 bit, choose wrong one, and it will not install. Can't use IE to install these files. All I did was click on the correct version from my download dir, and it installed into IE11. Very simple process.

    Then go into updates, choose advance menu and uninstall that update. If you think that's the problem.

    Oh! Many have this problem. I thought I alone was having it. Was about to go to the latest restore point, thinking WIn 10 had come up with some bugs.Well, wait and see.

    Manual update worked like a charm. Microsoft need to make that easier- a lot of people put in effort to keep their devices up-to-date and they are making the process an absolute nightmare, sometimes I think it will take an absolutely messed up update to force them to rescind the policy of forced updates, or to restore Windows Update as a desktop application because their new version doesn't seem up to the job.

    Downloaded the update using Internet Explorer and installed it successfully, what a pain though!
    Come on MS! Sort yourself out!
