Re: Windows update download glitch

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I got a rather contorted procedure on how to remove Windows Update
downloads from MS support - before I did it though I ran disk cleanup
and then manually got rid of the remains in my Windows temp folder
(I always have to go into safe mode to cleanup those perflib files).
After rebooting I tried Windows Update and this time the download was
validated quickly. Maybe it was luck. Thanks for your help.

Does the User Profile you are using have Administrators rights?

What does it say in the WindowsUpdate.log located in C:\windows. You will
find a long list as the log is cumulative. Please copy the section
covering the relevant attempt to update.

If you click on the red failure icon it will give you an error code.
What is the error code?

and I need to get Windows to re-download the update.

Select, Start, Help and Support, Keep your Windows up- to-date with
Windows Update, Review your Update History and click on the Failed
Icon (if any) in the Status Column. What does it say for the
failed update?? --

I need to delete all of my most recent downloads from Windows
Update and start over.

Why do you think you need to do that?

You can uninstall through Start, Control Panel, Add / Remove
Programs, Change or Remove Programs.
