Rename a folder in the System32 folder
Fix all Windows Update errors on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7
I have Windows Vista installed on a virtual PC and recently I was unable to install Windows updates because I keep getting an error message that the update failed. When I look at the error message it says:
Not very helpful! The event viewer also shows nothing that helps to determine what the problem is. Finally I found a post on a forum that helped me to solve this. Apparently one or more of the updates or patches are getting corrupted and therefore preventing updates from being installed.
To resolve this issue and reinstall the updates, you need to rename a specific folder in your System32 folder.
