  2. Windows Update keeps failing!

    Yea, that was going to be my next suggestion, if "Safe mode" did not work... I didn't want to scare him just yet.. *Toast :toast: There is a new feature in Windows 8 that will let you go back to a fresh install with just a few clicks. It should help a lot non pro's to start over fresh. *Toast :toast: But this is no help to him.. *Toast :toast:

    Windows Update keeps failing!

    I had this problem with a vista machine. After a while I resorted to reinstalling the operating system (restore in this case)

    Same issue as yours, it would download, install, then upon restarting it would start finishing the updates, and fail, then undo the updates.
