On the WU Website, select your history of updates - now click on failed update (red mark)

and see if there is an error code.

If there is an error code, write it down and post back or in the alternative, do a search

for the error code.

 

Further clues may be in the WU Log -

 

How to view the Update log in Windows:-

 

Click Start, and then click Run.

In the Open box, type: %windir%\windowsupdate.log

and then click OK.

 

Scroll down towards the bottom for the latest entries to locate the error code(s)

associated with the latest failed attempt to download/install. If appropriate copy and

paste the error codes into this thread so someone may be able to assist you. On the other

hand, you may be able to find the error code and other suggestions by searching the

Newsgroup.

 

Also check Windows folder for file called KB******.log (****** = number of update ie

KB896688) and post the contents of the failed update.

This may provide further clues as to why the update failed.
