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.

    and when I tried to run these commands:

    Dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth and Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth from an Admin prompt.

    I got a message saying each of them was "unknown"and again referring to error 87. I did not make a typo

    @showmethefacts, what is the exact text of the message you get when you go to an Admin prompt and type 'dism /?'.  Also check the size and date of dsm.exe in c:\windows\system32. Mine (Windows 8.1 64bit) shows '2014-02-22  04:36 AM           275,456 Dism.exe'.

    I have reported the problem with getting support through http://www.answers.microsoft.com and http://www.support.microsoft.com to Microsoft.

    Hello!

    I really need help with my software. I used my laptop earlier and then I put sleep, after I wanted to turn it on again it updates program. So, it's stuck in the blue screen, saying "We couldn't complete the updates ..." and so on, how to turn it on quickly?

    thanks in advance.
