Update Windows says that my updates failed, but the list of updates shows them as a success
Receipt of notice of updates of Windows. I opened the Control Panel of configuration/Windows Update screen and there was six recommended updates Important and two optional. I selected the six plus one option for Windows Live Add-in update. I installed updates and restarted my system. I checked the status of the installation of the system by opening the Control Panel of configuration/Windows Update screen. It showed that my updates failed, but when I click view update history, each of the update Important/recommended six succeeded. It there was no indication whether the Office Live Add-in was successful or not. Should I believe that the screen Control Panel of configuration/Windows Update that says my updates failed or should I believe the view update history which shows updates as a success.

Can check the programs add and romove, but when the next screen appears to list all installed programs nothing happens, it just says: waiting will list is bieng prepared, expected 15 minutes still nothing, never had this problem before.

Alas...
As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.
Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.
Click Start, run and enter the following command:
regsvr32 appwiz.cpl
Click OK and you should see a message like this:
DllRegisterServer in successful appwiz.cpl
Restart and see how things look now.

Windows says that it is authentic, but I can't activate it with my key! Help!
So, let me start. In the past, I was running this computer with a real, active version of W7. I decided to upgrade to W10 but who put a lot of things, so I performed a clean installation of W7 and used the key CD ID of my previous install W7. I don't know yet how I work, because the product key cannot have zeros in there. ID OF THE CD: <- screencap="" from="" "product="">->
ANYWAY, I can't use the key PRODUCES correct listed on the back of my computer to activate Windows, even if my copy of Windows is exactly the same one that came with this computer. ^ Proof of Genuine Windows
Someone knows how to help? (Only 1 day until expiration)
The evidence that I took the screencap: http://imgur.com/5XL3p6B.png
