Update of Windows remains at 0% downloaded indefinitely.

I have 13 updates waiting for me, but whenever I try to run WU, it simply says "Download" and remains at 0%. I recently had a few problems of stability as well. (Few messages like "Superfetch has stopped working" I don't really understand) and hoped the update could solve them. Any ideas on how I can get my update to update?

    Hi pittsburghfather,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum

    Microsoft regularly issues updates or patches to fix security problems in their software.  The critical updates are ones that you should be concerned.  If they are not implemented, it leaves your computer vulnerable to hackers.  Service Packs are updated larger who upgrade and resolve security issues.

    The built-in Windows Update to Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP can check your PC against a common database of patches.  You have access to a Microsoft web site and your operating system is checked against critical updates and a list of proposed shows to your PC so that you can download and install these.  You must periodically.

    More recent versions of windows have an automatic update function.  It is available in Windows 2000, ME and XP.  If you enable this feature, your PC will be to search for, download, and install critical updates at night.  This eliminates the need for you to check periodically for updates.

    Usually updated Automatic download and install automatically, without intervention of that whatsoever. You also have an option of download and installation of updates by disabling the automatic updates manually.

    1. click on start and then click Control Panel.

    2. view function Panel you use, classic or category, do one of the following values:

    * Click system, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
    * Click performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.

    3. click on the desired option. Make sure that automatic updates is not turned off.

  • Installation of updates of Windows 8: failure! Error: 800F082F

    Just re-installed my windows 8.0 and I wanted to install all of the updates. Have 87 updates for me, selected them and clicked on install.

    Have you done with the updates, I never had this problem, and I have re-installed windows 8.0 and applied repeatedly its updates.

    If you say that I can safely uncheck these updates that talk to you, just install the rest, then reboot and install those, like the latest updates?
