In particular windows security updates for example updating security for windows vista (KB2378111) error code: 800719E4. With a lot more updates, they continue to fail, but only a couple succeed.

He finished going through step 1 and 2, but never seems to complete step 3 and remains on full where for at least 5 minutes. Then shows that updates were not properly before.
