check that there is enough disk space for the installation - run disk cleanup and remove temporary installation files and try again

Most of the problems are due to Windows firewall being turned off.

Open services by typing in services.msc in Run,right click Windows firewall service and set it to automatic.Start it if it is stopped

Make sure the service named security center should also be the same.

Go to windows update and retry the install. :excited:

I'm getting the same thing with my 32-bit Acer Iconia tablet. It downloads the update, applies it, I restart, it gets to 18% and then restarts and undoes the changes.

There's 12.3 GB free on the system drive C: and 51.0 GB free on the micro-SD drive D:. How much space is needed for this update?

And the Windows Firewall and Security Center services are both running.
