Hi Feng,

Yes the exact message is:-

[Error number: 0x8DDD0002]
      To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged on as an
administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is
connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from
completing this procedure.

Kind regards,

Vic.
