Let us know how you made out. Make sure you take a note where it will download to on your C:\


Hi Peter,

Thanks for your nice reply. I had already tried that link, without success. I just tried it again, and again no success. What happens is that the hourglass icon appears next to the pointer arrow, and the left lower toolbar says, "transferring data from c.microsoft.com." This continues for 15 minutes, at which point I again gave up.(The green bar at the right lower fills to almost full.) If I click on "download" with the hourglass icon showing, then I get a partial aborted download.

I am stymied, frustrated, and otherwise unhappy that there does not appear to be a fix for this that works.


But the poster will not login with the hidden built-in Administrator account that has full admin rights that could address those Windows updates that are not able to install.

And the poster will not do a System File Check to see if that may correct any problems.

Hi,

More problems. I read about "Repair Your Computer" and tried to find it with F8 for advanced boot options. I did find it, but when I tried to turn it on, a choice of accounts showed Administrator, and asked for a password, which I never had or used. When I tried going further, I got a message that: "Your account has been disabled. See System Administrator."

So, I may have an Administrator problem, which prevents me from repairing my updates problem. I know a bit about Windows Administrator stuff, but obviously not enough to solve this problem.

Can you, or anyone else, help me in this regard?

Thanks again.

Morton
