Whenever I see this, I approach it in two parts. First, I clear the
downloads and try Windows Updates again. If it fails again, the second
step would be to look for error information (either on the web page or
in the event logs) and begin troubleshooting.
To clear the downloads, start the command prompt (Start > Run >
cmd.exe) and enter the following commands (one per line).
Net stop "Automatic Updates"
cd %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
Ren Download Downloa~
md Download
Net start "Automatic Updates"
This will backup your current downloads folder (as Downloa~) and
create a new, empty folder. From there, fire up Windows Updates and
redownload and install the patches.
