Hi. Here's my issue; I've been running windows 7 for a good while now with no problems, but just lately, i noticed that the most recent batch of windows updates didn't get applied correctly after a restart. I've tried to redo the process 3 times now with the same result. Essentially, the updates get installed, a reboot is requested, i reboot, i get the windows screen saying updates are being applied, it restarts, and on the next screen it says its finishing the updates but at around 15% it says failed to apply updates, it reverts to the previous state windows was in, and restarts.

Everything else with my computer is fine...i just cant seem to make these updates stick. Any ideas on how to get this to work? I would appreciate it.
