    Unhappy Windows Update

    I am having a similar problem. There is an icon on the left bottom of the tray which says ( Windows is downloading updates 40% complete ), it has remained like this for over a week.
    Don't really care about the updates, but my laptop seems to be running much slower than before.
    I have done the following... Ran Norton Antivirus and MBAM nothing found,
    Downloaded and ran the WindowsUpdate.diacab , it just keeps running wit no end result.
    Ran SFC /scannow , It completes with the message.. Windows resources protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Tried to open the log file but got an access denied.

    I have read the previous post about waiting for MS to come out with a fix. So I guess we will hove to wait or is there any thing else I can try

    Post the path to the log fille and the log file name that you were trying to access. I assume that you are logged in to an Administrator level account.

    Are you talking about the CBS.log? You can't open like a normal log file.

    Did you try running SFC from Safe Mode?

    You need to verify that your AV supports the Spectre/Meltdown update before the January Windows Updates will install.

    Ran the SFC in Safe Mode, it found and corrected some errors.
    Problem is resolved
