[SOLVED] All Windows Updates Fail To Install

I indeed agree completely. Just a tough choice when you really do NOT have the time to start over.

Hell and next year is going to be out of the question too.

Afghanistan here I come!

So yeah my computers are going to be my very last priority shortly I'm afraid.

I indeed agree completely. Just a tough choice when you really do NOT have the time to start over.

For the amount of time that you'll now be spending to fix the new troubles, it would have taken less time to do it right in the first place. This is what I tell people all the time, and not only with computers. People want to take the supposed shortest route all the time, so I let them... They usually understand what I was trying to tell them in the first place after the fact though. On much bigger things than computers as well.

It would've taken you 3 days (max) to have your system all back and running by a full install if nothing was put off for long. This includes Windows updates and installing essential programs from my experience. I've loaded Windows too many times to count.

Luck to you in Afghanistan btw. :)

So I said screw it a few weeks ago when I got back home safe and sound. Thanks!

Now running clean install of Windows 8.1 x64. Pretty happy with it too.

Look forward to Windows 10 clean install next year.

Hello :)

Glad to hear that this issue has been resolved, I will mark this thread as Solved.

Windows 10 looks pretty good so far, I have been using the technical preview and I am pretty happy with it.

I've been playing around with Windows 10 in Virtual Box.

Will switch over to real hardware when it matures a bit.

PS: Thanks for marking solved. Feel free to lock thread too.

That is what I will be doing as well. Currently I have it installed on a old computer and use it when I can. But I am not game enough to install it on my primary machine
