    I did a clean install on my Vostro a few days ago and then installed my drivers. After that, Windows Update did its thing and installed a long list of updates. A day later I got a Windows Update notice that there was one new update available so I installed it. Now it's been 2 days and nothing. No SP1 has come up and I've installed all of the updates it's given me.

    I've manually had it check for updates and it just tells me that "Windows is up to date."

    Everything that it's downloaded has installed correctly. No failed update installs warnings.

    Looking at my update log, I have warnings and some fatals over the last few days that I'll post (the first one here is the most recent error so it's at the bottom of the log and working back up to the top):

    From today:


    ########### AU: Initializing Automatic Updates ###########
    # Approval type: Pre-download notify (User preference)
    WARNING: GetPostRebootResults failed, error = 0x80070005
    AU finished delayed initialization

    Yesterday (same warning as above):

    ########### AU: Initializing Automatic Updates ###########
    # Approval type: Pre-download notify (User preference)
    WARNING: GetPostRebootResults failed, error = 0x800700052008

    Other warnings from yesterday:
