  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.

  Hello, gsfl Jg,

  Open Windows Update and check if KB2686509 and KB2676562 are or are not installed.

  When you tried to install the update, you would have received an error code.  Please return this zip code which lies in Windows Update.

  Why this update is offered again several times?

  Windows updates are revived until the update is installed on your computer. If this update is already, perhaps an installation failure has occurred.
