Loop "Failed to setup of the Windows updates"

Recently, I updated the installation of my laptop due to severe speed due to bloatware limits that were provided on the new installation of my laptop. I bought a few months ago and it was fine, the issue of the speed bar and was updated to the latest edition of 8.1 from 24.

Since the update however it updated and I have the configuration error. I tried hard reset options and wait etc. and the laptop was more or less on the same page for almost 6 hours - a hard reset allows not a choice of boot - he sends me directly to the screen of "failure". In addition, I do not have the disks as the product came with 8 pre-installed windows (where the bloatware).

For reference, I use a 250 HP (i3 / 4 GB / Intel graphics card)

Seriously, I'm full of ideas - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Glenn,.

This issue could be the corrupted Windows Update components. So I suggest you try to rename pending.xml file and check if it helps.

You can refer to the suggestion made by me in the following link and check if it helps.

    Thanks for trying to help. Now my computer seems to be up-to-date.
    I followed your steps but MicrosoftFixit50202.msi did not like "my OS is incompatible. I use windows 8.  I couldn't run this in default or aggressive.
    I did go in Control Panel and disable antivirus and firewall Zone Alarm and reset Windows defender by default.
    I did IE default web browser I have prob changed when I got to the computer.
    I then returned to set up a clean boot and this time I managed to disable the true vector Internet Monitor (Zone Alarm) to run.
    I ran the reset troubleshooting of Windows with the same result as before is to say:
    Recent updates - not fixed installation problems
    Search for missing or corrupted - files detected
    I think I have restarted my computer at this stage and then tried to update again.
    It has not yet, but with the error, I got an error code and a link to help. I don't have not noticed this before. I followed the help and ran about 5 command prompts that have to do with the renaming of files I think.
    Then I tried updating again and this time 38 45 updates succeeded. I then ran the update again and it seemed to work on the other 7 updates.
    Although Windows Update said I was now updated, I was skeptical as when this whole thing started is started when I got the "windows installs updates" and then "failed to configure updates. Returning... etc"then I restarted my computer. At the start, there was no message on try to configure the updates, then, how do I know they are configured and working as it should?
    Thank you.

    (3) I don't know how to get to any screen except that this form of failure, so do not know how to enter in a single command.

    (4) all that happens is that I see the ASUS logo, then this screen failure immediately.

    I'm panicking, it's all new. It has worked very well. I started it today, it has been updated slowly. I saw him at about 17%. Then I looked at a few hours later and saw that he was stuck in this process.
