Windows 7 x86 (32 bit) Ultimate Windows Update doea not install Security Updates any more. They all fail to install. Updates to MS Security Essentials and MS Win Office 7 updates just fine. The update of a single update runs to 95% and hangs for 5 minutes (+/-) then presents an error message. I have tried to follow any tips and ideas that the programs present, but with no success. Please advice!

Hello, try proceeding like that: run chkdsk /r /f and sfc /scannow Download and install System Readiness tool for your Windows Disable all security softwares Reset Windows Update components Download and install manually the updates. If the problem persists, I recommend performing a repair install of your OS. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
