Update for Windows 8 (KB2822241) fails to install and has the error Code 800703F1
Greetings. My system Windows 8 found a major update, but it cannot install it. The update is called "Update for Windows 8 (KB2822241)." I try to install it and it installs and I see a screen that says:
________________________________
Some updates have not been installed.Failed: 1 update
Examine the important updatesError (s) found:
Code 800703F1 Windows Update has encountered a problem. Get help with this error
________________________________From there, I have the option to 'Try again', but when I try I always get the same result (error 800703F1). I already tried the Windows Update troubleshooting tool and whenever I run that he finds two problems and offers correct: "Repair Windows Update Database Corruption" and "repair the Windows Update components. I had it apply these patches every time, but the problem persists.
I read about this setting by using the function "sfc/scannow", but oddly, when I try even in an elevated command prompt he also fails. It scans absolutely nothing and says: "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
The 'Windows Modules Installer"service is set to"Manual"and runs, as I read it is necessary.What is really weird, is that in my list of installed updates, KB2822241 stands as one of the updates already installed with the name of "update for Microsoft Windows" (instead of "update for Windows 8"as one continues to try to install my PC), and when I run the independent for this update installer (I downloaded from the web site of Microsoft to try it) the installation program indicates the update is already installed, and it closes. This gave me the idea that maybe my PC is confusing one update for the other. After all, why he would find KB2822241 as an important update that it needs if it is already installed?
I know that I can normally solve the problem of update and the question of the SFC by resetting or refresh my PC via built-in tools of Windows 8, but I don't want to go through that, unless it's the only solution. System Restore didn't help, but it is an opportunity to reinstall some other updates.
As it is, then, the problems persist: "Update for Windows 8 (KB2822241)" settles "sfc/scannow" cannot perform the operation and not I ask.
For the record, my machine is a 900 Asus EeePC ha with an Intel Atom N270 CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and it is running 32-bit Windows 8.
I'd appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you in advance.
Hi Michael,
You can follow this link if you want to refresh your computer.

Updates for Windows 7 take hours to install
I have Windows 7 installed on my new Packard Bell. Download updates takes hours and hours and if I don't download strange things begin to happen to programs - is this normal or do I have a computer problem? I had to restore the system on three occasions already. PC World say to install (50 + updates) for a week, the problem could have allowed.
Hello Chrissie D,.
Time depends on the speed of your computer, the internet connection, the number of updates installed and the time required to download updates of the questions too. Some updates may take some time to install though.
If the installation is freezing, try troubleshooting Windows Update tool before installing the updates.

Shield yellow announcing updates are ready to be installed appears. I enable it and select "install". He did his thing and in a few minutes, told me that updates are installed. I close the dialog box and the yellow shield reappears. Same problem, same level of security fixes (972270 & 982132). What should I do about it?

rh69,
When you have uninstalled Norton have you used the Norton removal tool? If this isn't the case, you may want to try this to remove it and then test the updates. It is also possible that a malware\virus has exceeded Norton. You should look at this thread and check your system for infections:Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

update of security (KB2676562) has already been correctly installed 21 times, began towards the end of May. Update for Windows Vista (KB2679255) was successfully installed 35 times, he began in mid-April. These two continue to update themselves every day and do it at least twice a day, back to back. It is very frustrating to have to deal with that and makes me think that something may be a problem with my computer. I had heard of registry cleaners is not not a good thing to use, if recently I not unhooked my registry free cleaner. I hope that it has not caused my computer to lose any registry key values. Does anyone know a possible solution or what I need to do? I thank everybody help, please!
