Installed Windows 8 Pro upgrade, going from Windows 7, both 64 bit, yesterday. Installation went fine and everything seems to be working. I needed to restart this evening and received the message "Installing update 2 of 11, (etc.) Do not unplug or turn off your computer. Didn't touch anything for the time until it completed all 11 updates. Reboots and then presents with message: "Failure configuring Windows update. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer" The whole process took about 30 minutes before I was back to the lock screen and could log in.
Went to Windows Update in Control Panel and it says there are 11 important updates available, which would be right because they did not install. So, I simply rebooted. . . nothing more. Received message "Installing update 2 of 11 . . . " as before, reboots and then get the message: "Failure configuring Windows update. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer" all over again for another 30 minutes.
Any idea where to look that might be causing the problem? Anyone else had this experience?
TIA
J.
