Hi Sharath Srinivasa , I'm having serious problem with the error message you are just addressing above. I had wanted to install visual studio since some time but the installation has not been successful complaining that I should install the these particular updates before my installation could work well. Well I'm following your advice ASAP. The error codes are as follows: Windows 8.1 update for x64-based systems (KB2919355) -failed to install. This update failed to install on 9/4/2015 at 4:28pm with error code 80070002 security updates for windows 8.1 for x64-based systems (KB2961908) without KB29119355- failed to install on 9/4/2015; This update failed to install on 9/4/2015 at 3:44pm with error code 800F0922 Please assist. Regards.

Had this problem for weeks now, when I go to settings and try to update windows it doesn't connect and says error but when I go to the error details it is blank. Help! It had been undoing the changes for the past 3 hours and is very frustrating

Fixed all my problems! I bought a Mac Kiss off MS. Thanks to all on here for your help and good luck!

Cumulative Update always seems to fail. Update KB3081455. Why?

Error: We couldn’t complete the updates, Undoing changes. Don’t turn off your computer.
