The Windows operating system would be practically useless and completely unprotected, if its developers, Microsoft, did not release regular updates. Just sometimes when trying to update OS, regardless of its generation, you can face a number of problems. Just about their reasons and elimination options we will talk in this article.
Why windows updates are not installed
The inability to install the update of the operating system can be caused by one of the set of reasons. For the most part, they are identical to the most popular versions - "seven" and "dozens" - and caused by software or systematic failures. In any case, the search and elimination of the source of the problem requires certain skills, but the material presented below will help you understand everything and solve this difficult task.Windows 10.
The last to date (and in the foreseeable future) version of the operating system from Microsoft is rapidly gaining momentum in popularity, and the developer company does not less actively develop it, improves and improves. From this doubly disappointing when it is impossible to establish another important update. Most often, this is due to a failure in the "update center", disabling the service of the same name, a scored system cache or disk device, but there are other reasons.
You can eliminate the problem with both system tools by contacting, for example, to "troubleshooting a computer" and with a third-party utility with the loud name of Windows Update Troubleshooter. In addition, there are other options, and they are all discredited in detail in a separate material on our website.

Complained to problems with installing updates on the "seven" is not entirely appropriate. This version of the Microsoft system has been for more than ten years and not far from the mountains when the company will completely refuse to support, leaving "to joy" to users except for emergency patches and patches. And yet, many prefer WINDOVS 7, absolutely not wanting to move to modern, although still not the perfect "dozen".
Note that the reasons for the problems with updates in this version of the OS are little different from its relevance. Among the possible problems and malfunctions in the work of the update center or the service responsible for their installation, the error in the registry, the lack of space on the disk or the banal locking of the download. More about each of these reasons, as well as how to eliminate them and do to roll the long-awaited update, you can learn from a separate material.
