Re: installing failed updates

First verify they did not successfully install at a later time.
Otherwise manually download them and install them.
You can easily locate them by going to Microsoft's website and searching for
the 6 digit number.
Download it, reboot, and then double-click the download.
Follow prompts to install.
Reboot
