Cannot Install Window 7 Updates

[Ivan Drago]

A few days ago my Pc downloaded a new automatic update for Windows 7 Home but it won't install it.

When I try to shut down the PC, it appears to be installing the updates but when I came back to check about 8 hours later, it still said it was installing them. I assume something is not right because updates usually take about 30 seconds to install.

Any ideas?

if you run windows update again you should see the 'installing updates' icon in your system tray, if you click it you should see details of the updates attempting to be installed, if you could find out which updates you are having problems with it may help trouble shoot it

Run Chkdsk on your harddrive - you might have an error or bad block - I've seen this same behaviour on a few machines running Vista before.

I ran chkdsk but it found no errors and the update still won't install.
