I tried to install updates but one or more didn't get installed.
Did you try the update again manually?
There are some errors that are just a matter of bad timing, and they can be caused by busy websites, overworked Internet connections, or a number of other factors. These problems can sometimes be corrected by trying to update again. Here's how to check for updates manually:
Click to open Windows Update.
In the left pane, click Check for updates, and then wait while Windows looks for the latest updates for your computer.
If updates are found, click Install updates.
Read and accept the license terms, and then click Finish if the update requires it. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Note
Some updates might require that you restart your computer to finish installing. Save and close all your programs before restarting to prevent data loss.
Did you accept the Microsoft Software License Terms?
Install the update again and review and accept the license terms.
Click to open Windows Update.
Review any error messages.
If an error message about license terms or cancelled updates is displayed, click Try again, and wait until you are prompted to review the license terms.
Accept the license terms, and wait to see if the update is installed successfully.
Is there enough free disk space on your computer?
If you need more free space on your hard disk, you might need to uninstall programs, delete your temporary Internet files, delete files that you don't use, or empty the Recycle Bin, and then try again to install updates.
Did you cancel the installation process or disconnect from the Internet?
It's fine if you did. Just check for updates again and install any updates that were cancelled or interrupted.
What else can I do?
If the previous questions don't address the problem, you can learn more about what happened and what to do next by reviewing any error messages that are displayed in Windows Update.
Click to open Windows Update.
If an error has occurred, an error code and a link to Help will be displayed. If there isn't a specific Help topic for that error, you can use the error code to search online for help.
