Hello All,
I have had a similar problem to others on this forum with Windows 8 not preforming regular updates. Initially I received the error code 0x80070490 and I ran the windows trouble-shooter which said it had fixed two issues - but I still received an error when
trying to update.
I have run the System Update Readiness Tool, which reported no corrupt files found. However, the updater now gives an impression of running but there is only 1 optional update that I had received early this month and tried to hide - (Bing Desktop v1.1).
When I run Review Update History in Control Panel it tells me I have not downloaded any updates, which is utter nonsense as many updates were initially downloaded when I bought the computer in March 2013.
I would like to be able to find a URL address that will get me to a list of the latest Windows 8 updates so that I can see if the Updater is actually working.
The last updates the PC managed to install were on 10April 2013 are KB283351, KB2822241, KB2817183, KB2813170, KB2808735, KB2800033, KB2781197.
I have been unable to find a Microsoft web page that tells me what the latest updates are I keep getting directed to using the Windows 8 Updater that I believe is still not working correctly.
I have had nothing but problems with this operating system since I bought the PC and would rather go an buy another PC than to have to restore windows 8 after only 6weeks. Oh how I miss XP!
Thanks in anticipation.
