Hi,

Do you remember which Windows Updates you were trying to install?

I would suggest you to refer to this article and perform the troubleshooting.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949358/en-us

Clean Boot: After troubleshooting in a Clean Boot state, make sure to place the computer back to Normal Startup Mode following the same link.

Let us know if it helps. If the issue persists, please reply, we will be glad to assist you further.

    That is interesting. How do you stop the computer from try to update and then undo the changes?

    How can I download it when my computer is messed up? I have no way to fix this, and Windows has just messed up my computer. I didn't think Windows 8 could get worse but I guess we just had to wait for the updates...

    In my case I had Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machines (virtualized through Hyper-V on another 2012 R2) and removing the "Secure Boot" option in the Hyper-V configuration fixed the problems. So, if you have it virtualized, please disable Secure Boot!
