    Welcome to the forums Anna :emotion-21:

     

     

    Here's a suggestion to try - taken from this Microsoft Technet forums thread on the subject:

     

    1: Open up "Control Panel" and navigate your way to "Programs and Features".

    2: Click "View installed updates" on the left hand side.

    3: Find the update KB929777 and uninstall it.

    4: Attempt to install the update again in Windows Update

    5: Once successful, restart your PC.

    Anna91,

     

    Please follow these instructions and see if you can get updates. Please wait for at least 3 minutes because sometimes you need to install ActiveX to get the updates to install.

     

    Windows Updates fail to install
