Sometimes its worth doing it manually and pick a few at a time ,i found it refused to install updates once because it was trying to update something that downloaded later on

Dave I always have done it manually. I picked one that is only 111kb and even that wouldn't work

I was telling a mate and he said to run defender to check for nasties.

 

Defender is switched off and no matter what I do I cant get it switched on.

Thanks anyway

There is an update trouble shooter ,it resets the download list so the update sequence trundles through the list from the start.

Also iobit advanced systencare will download missing updates outside of the windows version

 

My windows tablet failed on some updates for weeks continually downloading and failing (why does it not store the update on the pc?) to update until one day all was well and it was successful and peace and joy reined once more
