    Get the Ox80072EE2 error. Chose the express download then Windows Update checked for the latest updates, but the update did not follow and gave the error code Ox80072EE2. Tried several times.

So if, next to the triangle of Whirlpool, you can see the M S R and I buttons, then give it a click.

    Select your Start button, in the search box type 'msconfig' then msconfig.exe under programs.
