Failing Updates
I have Windows Vista 32bit on my PC. For the past month or so I've realised that most of the updates are failing, usually error code 800BO100. After some searching I tried to install the system readiness tool, but this keeps failing, with a error
message that my computer doesn't need this update. Also getting error code 80071A91 for which I can't find an answer.
Your help would be much appreciated, but please keep it simple as I have only medium knowledge.
Thanks

Hello,
try proceeding like that:
Run chkdsk /r /f Run sfc /scannow Download and install system update Readiness tool your OS Disable all security software that you have Reset Windows Update components
If this does not help, perform a repair install (In-place upgrade) of your OS.
