I have been unable to update most of everything for a long while now. http://i.imgur.com/nd6zR1b.png http://i.imgur.com/HpwIdnz.png This isnt even half of the failed updates/codes.....

Hi, A few updates seem to be installed, but the majority not. the error code says 80246013, i guess this is true for all of them, just checked the first ones. interestingly, updates concerning the safety have been installed. the problems are present since a week, when i put it back on factory settings a week ago, since then it asks me to activate windows, but when i try use this option in the pc-settings, the whole window just closes. I checked the hardware with a software of the manufacturer, but it said, everything was alright. what can i do?

So what happens if the error screen never goes away? I can't even get to the sign in screen.

Thanks the error code 80080008 roy
