Ok so here are the system specs

After the last update and restart. I am unable to use Windows update.

I have tried the troubleshooting steps but the problem still exists.

SFC returns no problem at all.

Problem occurring for updates KB2936068 and KB2919355

Using their standalone installer isn't working either.

Hi Jaxx,

Microsoft has issued a fix for your error: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2969339

After you install it, the rest of the updates should download automatically.

    Hi Bob,

    I know what running a recovery is like and would hate for Jaxx to have to go through all that when it may not be necessary anymore.

    I hope the message reaches him in time anyway.

    You're a life saver bro.

    And I really do appreciate your help.

    On the other hand, I was going to try and uninstall some customisation softwares as I read somewhere that it can block the installation.

    I'm glad you updated me on the new info.

    You're welcome Jaxx.

    Hope the installation runs properly this time.

    As a precation though, if you use any third party antivirus, disable it before you attempt to run the installation. Most AV these days include a type of file scanner which springs into action whenever you attempt to install anything. This can interfere with the download and subsequent installation of Windows patches.
