In the overwhelming majority, the problems with the installation of this package are common to the reasons for the update system: a failure in the Windows Update Center or its service, incorrect component loading, as well as problems with previous packages. From the decision of the latter and begin.Method 1: Installing the missing updates
Some users use the manual method of installing updates, which, in the case of the version of KB4503292, can lead to problems. The fact is that the service utility has been removed from this package to work with the PCI cache, which is why on some systems it may not be established.

Another source of failure may be a malfunction in the operation of the system installation of updates. The algorithm for its diagnostics and troubleshooting techniques are as follows:

If after entering the command does not happen, or the system displays the error, most likely you have a pirated version of Windows, in which the update tool is removed. The only solution to the problem will be the installation of a normal licensed OS version.

Method 4: disk space
WINDOVS 7 has a rather unpleasant feature - the system does not always rationally use the available free space, which may turn out to be crowded. In turn, it prevents the service service of updates: it simply lacks the place to download the package and unpacking it before installing. The elimination of this kind of problem is obvious - you should delete some files and clear the system from the garbage.
