    Well, you use an old laptop of 8 years with a 11 year old operating system - it takes a little go extra step to get things.

    I guess you all hardware from the manufacturer drivers so that everything works?  You can verify that you have the latest versions by visiting manually from the manufacturer web page, support and drivers section and go through at least the most important... chipset motherboard, video, audio, network, etc.

    After that...

    Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

    You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
    If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.
