Why do startup updates always fail on my computer?
Windows 7 Home Premium asks me to shut down and install updates on every shut down.
When it boots up, it says "Configuring your updates... 0%" and after about five minutes it changes to "Failed update, rolling back."
I can't find anywhere to cancel these updates so that they don't run.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Turn off updates:
Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Then rename the “SoftwareDistribution” folder:
Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%, and then click OK.
Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.
Create a new folder called "SoftwareDistribution"
Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Run the Microsoft Fix it 50202 tool from Microsoft's website.
It is compatible with Windows 7.
