Always turn off your A/V before you click download. And turn it back
on as soon as you are done, of course. Download one at a time and
make sure there is no problem before you download the next.

In addition to Bruce Hagen's advice in this thread, note that updates change
your operating system environment. If your drivers and other applications
are not also kept up to date, the out of date software or drivers may cause
issues. Hence, you need to check device and app manufacturer websites for
updates as well.

One of the things to check when you run into such a situation is the Event
Viewer. When such an event occurs, open Control Panel, open Administrative
Tools, open Event Viewer, check the various sections for errors that
correspond to when the event occurred, double click the error, the
information contained within may give a clue as to the source of the error.

If it's not revealing of anything, while the install of the Windows' updates
are the direct cause, in order to find the offending device or application,
you may need to remove items one by one, then run the system for awhile
after each removal to see if things improve, if they do, you have then found
the offending item and check for updates or a replacement if none is
available.
