Windows 10: Windows Update - Keeps Failing

Hi there,


My laptop is trying to do a Windows update but is having issues doing it.


I troubleshooted Windows Update and fixed a couple of issues.


Tried to run updates again and get this error message:


Intel - net - 3/12/2018 12:00:00 AM - 19.51.12.3 - Error 0x8007001f


Any ideas what this is or means? Any help is appreciated.


I clicked 'Retry' and it now appears to be preparing to download a features update to Windows 10.


There are a few other updates there that say 'waiting to install' but I don't see a way to just click 'install now'.


Thanks!

Windows Update keeps failing!

Hi,

I had once a similar issue like yours, i.e. not able to update Windows 7. What I did to solve the problems is:

- go to control panel, then to "Troubleshouting" > "System and Security" > "Fix problems with Windows update" > click "Advanced" > choose "Apply repairs automatically".

And Windows will start detecting the issues and will repair "Windows update components". The problems should be fixed now, close the program, restart the PC, and see if the mentioned steps have fixed the problems you mentioned.

Hope it works for you.

Good luck!

 

Windows Updates failed to instal

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate

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:
