I'm more able to download updates for Windows, including individual KBs.
All the updates stopped IE8 download, as well as all the downloads from Windows Update, 5 days ago on XP machine. Worked perfectly before. Have tried everything including the individual download KBs. Nothing works. Windows Installer is set to automatic and is enabled. Can't find solution proposals.
Original title: update download problems
Howdy Vernon,
No, don't run any FixIt.
Instead, follow these steps:
Tap Start > type cmd > and press ENTER to get a command prompt
type in
Go to Windows Explorer. If you find files in there, remove them. This file is where the Windows Update files are stored downloads. Return to the command prompt window.
OUTPUT
Restart the system and then run manually check the updates in Windows Update, etc, etc... ~~ If this can help, mark (click) response & or relatively useful as actually.
net stop wuauserv
Look on your system (usually C) drive and see the name of the Windows folder. Like Windows or WINNT.
Edit following as appropriate.
If your Windows folder is C:\Windows. Look at this file
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download
type in
net start wuauserv
When you get to Windows Update, a custom scan updates. Take (accept) those marked critical or Important.
Those that are marked as "optional" decline.
Have infinite patience so that it scans and it's work.
When you are prompted to restart Windows, please do. Allow it to restart.

How to remove downloaded updates for Windows 7
How can I delete downloaded updates of Windows 7? While the updates are being downloaded, apparently I lost my internet connection then maybe that these were not completely downloaded. When I was prompted to install the updates, I did. During the stop, the computer only installed15% and then stop. I am now invited that updates were not properly installed. I have updated manually several times over with the same results. Should I delete the old downloaded updates and start again? If so, how do remove these updates downloaded so I start again. Thank you.
See if anything here helps
