Since 6/11/14 I have been trying to resolve this.
The update was released on 6/10/14.
Shane if you can fix this it would be aces.
Here's the run down.
Downloads, installs, says restart required
The screen reads configuring windows updates
0% complete
Do not turn off your computer
Never goes past 0%, reboots, same screen, says failed, reverts changes, I can log in.
It hasn't been a huge thorn in my side, but now there are 4 updates that do the same thing.
I can't get a mouse driver to download now since windows updates has been acting up. Some updates go through, others don't.
I ran your tool, followed all the steps, and a few updates went through that hadn't prior.
Honestly I don't even care about these windows updates, none of the ones that won't go through are essential. But now that I can't get the driver for my new mouse installed it is getting to me. :angry:
I can foresee this getting worse though, as more and more updates queue up, I wonder how long it will be before a required security update won't pass through.
Hope you can help, thank you for your time,
Matt

What kind of Operating System do you have ?

Windows 7 Professional with SP1

Did you run my Windows repair yet on it? If you havent wait till Monday as then is when i am putting out the new version 2.8.0
When you do run my Windows Repair I want you to run all the repairs, make sure to do a registry backup first. :wink:

I ran Windows Repair (All in One) v2.7.5 with all but a few options selected.
I am going to try to do the repair install from my Windows 7 Disk tonight to see if that does anything.
Your tool did let me get 3 out of 6 updates through. The original culprit though, kb2800095, still stands in defiance.
I backed up everything before doing it, and plan to again if I run the tool again.
Thanks,
Matt

To do a repair install you need a Windows 7 dvd with SP1 on it, if you dont have it you can grab it here

And you can use this guide to double check anything for the repair install process :-)

So I reinstalled windows.
I however lost my product key. I got the copy from dreamspark (free for students) a year ago.
Will running windows updates before activation hurt anything?
I've put a ticket in with dreamspark to get an activation key. Twiddling my thumbs in the mean time haha

Besides the unactivated windows I think this is solved. Updates have been going through, and I can finally use my mouse!!

Can not wait for the version to see what you have done.
Just wondering if there is a guide for Windows 8 for doing the repair too. Thanks.

You have 30 days before you have to activate it, so till then everything will work as normal :-)
