Re: Windows Update Failure

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Check to see if Update 905474 downloaded :-

In the Run box, type: %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\download
Click OK.
You will see some folders with long names.
Locate the folder which contains the wgatray.exe

Once you locate that folder and file, you'll notice an update folder in the
folder you have located the wgatray.exe.

Open the Update folder - and you'll find a file called update.exe.

If you double click on that file, the update may install.

Please note that this update once installed cannot be removed.
