Hello,

 

I am running Windows 7 and have 26 updates that are either "recommended" or "important" that fail to install upon my computer's restart. The installation during shutdown goes fine, I guess, but during the "confirguing Windows updates" part of the restart process,

I can't get passed 15% before an error message of "Failure to install windows updates" comes up. The error code that updates reports is 80071A90.

 

I have tried turning off/on my McAfee firewall, the automatic fix tool from Microsoft, as well as trying to download and install several of the failed updates through the MS website; each time there is an error message saying that he update "does not apply

to my computer." Please help me out as this is getting seriously annoying and I might actually miss out on some important updates. Thank you,

 

-G
