Windows Updates for WIndows 200 Pro

A common problem. A google search shows several methods of deleting

the wup files and history. Also can be caused if you have shut down certain

services like BITS.

 

Easiest way to update is to write down the KB numbers and and download

each on separately and install.

 

good luck.

Hello Jessicaaolcom@discussions.microsoft.com,

 

Try this out, stop automatic update service rename c:\softwaredistribution

to whatever you like, start the automatic update service and connect again

to windowsupdate.com. It will recreate the folder and after it you can delete

the renamed one.

 

Best regards
