    They are one persistent company. How much do you want to bet they include more updates that introduce telemetry or prepare for the Windows 10 upgrade after most people have already known what to hide? This is an on-going war between us (the counter-terrorists) vs Micro$h4ft.

    Indeed. For all we know, soon enough every day might get to be an "update" day. I'm getting a little tired of disabling updates.

    Yeah, I know that a system that is not updated is not a secure one. However, with the type of "security" that MS has been bundling with their updates lately, I'll deal with non-corporate hackers any time of day.

    Just in case, I've got my W2K install media - with SP4 slipstreamed - ready and waiting. Anything older than Core i gets that installed and anything newer goes *nix...

    Are you doing the security updates along and the update for Windows alone? You should never mix update types together.....

    I do them separately. I don't mix them together. It's mainly the security updates that are failing.

    Please run the disk cleanup tool and then choose system files then choose to clean up Windows Updates files, then reboot, then try again and let me know how it goes. I have one more solution but I am leaving that till the end as it is a bit risky.
