    Hi My PC has tried to install update KB3048778 on some 6 occassions... each time failing and undoing the changes on restart. I hasve checked that I have no removable media in drives but it makes no difference. I have Norton 360 installed- is that likely to be the problem?

    Thanks

    MIke

    We've had this "undoing changes" error several times over the last couple of months and I am at my wits' end. 

    The latest error code was for update KB2976978 with error 800F0922.

    Please can you advise how we can fix this once and for all as it seems that every update we install gets an error now.
