Default Stupid messages from Microsoft

I get messages from Microsoft ”we can't finish your update download", well what do they expect me to do.
I thought the mighty Microsoft could do anything they wanted to do.

I've run into problems in the past with Windows Updates. What I learned from those frustrating experiences is that installing and using the Microsoft Windows Update assistant instead of the Windows built-in updater, all my pains have disappeared.

There is plenty of disk space, there is 350 Gagabytes free space.
I don't use Microsoft update app. Any other update service they may have I just plain ignore it.

I don't leave the computer on when I'm done using it. Furthermore when I sit down at the computer I remove the wifi dongle so no jerks like Google, Microsoft, fbook can't disturb me.

If you're trying to update from your current version to a newer version via Windows Update and it isn't working ... use the Windows Update Assistant instead ... it's the most reliable way.
