I have been trying to update my laptop with the above update but consistently get a failure notification. The update downloads and looks as if it is installing but then the error message comes up (code 80073718).   I select the option 'get help with this

error' which  takes me to troubleshooting the updater ( I ran it as administrator). The troubleshooter found an error and repaired it so I tried to update again but yet again got the same error code and the update is still not installed.

 

 

I have checked my internet connection in case something was interrupted but the connection is fine, I have tried both wifi and Ethernet.

 

 

I have searched the Microsoft pages but can't find anything about this error. 

 

 

I installed windows 8 as an upgrade to Vista a couple of weeks ago.
