    So I just bought a new pc and I go into windows update and recovery and click on look for updates everything works fine finds all the updates, downloads and installs them, when pc reboots back up I go to check for more updates and when I click on the update and recovery tab it just kicks me out of the screen! Anyone experience this before ?

    Google "which windows update breaks the update feature".

    Here's one, although it's kind of old, and it shouldn't be offered anymore: :rolleyes:

    KB2918614 breaks Windows Installer Service - Microsoft Community

    Or you can run the trouble shooter found under "My PC stopped responding while checking for or installing updates" here:
