How do I update my Windows 7 Home Edition?

Hi Folks

Every time I try and shut down my computer an explanation mark (!) appears, signifying that Windows need updating.

However, once I start the updating process, the process completes after a few minutes with the following message "Some updates were not installed".

Can you please advice how to overcome this problem.

Thank You.

    Find out which update is causing the problem and exclude it? Or search tinterweb for other reports of issues with that update and see what options are offered?

    Without knowing WHY you get this issue it's near-impossible to suggest a solution. :)

    Sometimes you need to install each update seperately and reboot the computer after each one.
  • I found two from either Feb or April 2012 which perpetually want to reinstall themselves every time I close down my computer and this has been the case for a month. I've eventually hidden them.
