I have recently noticed that I had a couple of updates to do on my PC. Like regularly, I always download them when they are available. Well, this one has got me on my ass because the updates keep failing. The PC tells me to restart my pc when I use the troubleshoot, which I clearly do. I attempted to use Update and Shut Down but to no avail, the update still fails.


I read on a few posts online that people were having this issue, but in a loop, and could not return back to windows log in screen. Thankfully, this is not a problem for me. Just updating is an issue. Does anyone have any fixes to this? I would really appreciate it.


Thanks!
