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.

    @Dannie A. call 1-866-PCSAFETY or get them online at http://answerdesk.microsoft.com.  They will offer to remotely access your computer to try and correct the problem.   They want you to be on the phone with them for 2-3 hours.  I would also recommend doing an image backup first, just in case.

    If 2919355 is not installed by June, you will receive no future security updates.

    Harry we gotta get this update installed.  Have you attempted to contact support?  It will be a free support case. 

    How does one contact Microsoft Support and obtain this free support you're mentioning?

    I "hid" KB2919355 and one other update that kept trying to install, but failed.  That way if there are new Microsoft updates, they will still install because I left auto-update enabled.  I do not see the downside of doing it this way.  If there is one, please chime in.

    Same as others. KB2919355. No error code, just "undoing changes". Tries again in same reboot sequence but fails.

    Same here, no update history, it looks like it's been wiped by the attempted install of -355.
