Hi,
I tried to run windows updates. It recognized and downloaded updates but not of them were installed. At the end windows showed the message that "the list of updates below are not installed" Why does it happen?
Thanks

You can try doing a search for the SoftwareDistribution folder. Change the
name to SDold and reboot your machine and try updates again.

If I do that, how is it going to help the person who posted the original
problem? ;-)
I think you meant to reply to him, not to me.

There are two Softwaredistribution folders. one is in Windows and one in
System32. The folder in Windows is not able to renamed.

install all updates. Thanks
