This error may appear anytime a Windows Update fails. To investigate possible solutions, we need to start with the specific error code.

We can do this by viewing your update history.

  1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen (or, if you're using a mouse, pointing to the lower-right corner of the screen and moving the mouse pointer up), and tap or click Settings.
  2. Tap or click Change PC settings, and then Update and recovery.
  3. Tap or click View your update history.

View failed update error code.

Please post here with your error code, so that the Community can try to help guide you appropriately.

    As usual an error code is insufficient for a symptom description.

    PS>net helpmsg 3<br><br><br>The system cannot find the path specified.

    E.g. you would have to know what "path" had been "specified" to make any use of that clue.

    The things that you refer to as "codes" are update numbers.  Depending on how you are noticing it the first one may be just a statement about your "service pack level", e.g. having KB3000850 applied is sometimes referred to as being at W8.1.2. 

    But it looks like the other one can't help us infer what you are really seeing, as it applies to many versions of Windows

    Try clicking on one of those items and see if you can find a real code associated with them?
