Why windows 7 cannot install updates?

Whenever I stop, I get a message: installation of the updates. Do not turn off your computer. Eventually the computer "installs" 4 updates and stops, but the next time it is turned on it says prepare to set up windows. 0% complete. This "hangs" for a while, then I get the newspaper account individual users on the screen and everything seems to work OK. When I stopped once again, however, it ascends through the same rigmarole again and also at the start. This has happened for a week. Any ideas how to stop it?

Please try to reset the Windows Update components to download and saving the Fixit on this page - How to reset the Windows Update components?

Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers.
Now run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose it is the default mode.
When he has finished to see if running the system can search, detect, download, and install updates.

If no joy, then suggest that you Configure the system to boot .
After the reboot to clean boot state, run the Fixit once more and choose it's aggressive mode.
When it has finished running see if the system can be updated while still in the State of clean boot, including rebooting the system to see if the 'coup' persists.

* Suggest that you leave an update to do later when the system is running in Windows normal mode. *

NOTE: In the clean boot state will be disabled all firewalls of part 3.
Make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

If the 'coup' does not occur when the system has been updated in the clean boot state after running the Fixit, then cancel the clean boot procedure, and then restart in normal Windows mode.
Now let's see if the rest update one installs correctly.

If the question of the hanging is still underway in the clean boot state, then please copy and paste the last lines of 50 or more WindowsUpdate.log in your response - How to read the Windowsupdate.log file

If the problem only occurs in Windows normal mode, then 3rd party software is the most likely cause.

    cannot install update security for Windows XP (KB2686509)

    Hello, gsfl Jg,

    Open Windows Update and check if KB2686509 and KB2676562 are or are not installed.

    When you tried to install the update, you would have received an error code.  Please return this zip code which lies in Windows Update.

    Why this update is offered again several times?

    Windows updates are revived until the update is installed on your computer. If this update is already, perhaps an installation failure has occurred. Check log files to install KB for the error codes. For example, the log file of installation KB for this security update would probably "C:\Windows\ KB2686509.log"

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
