I can't install windows updates

[Jennzie]

I just installed windows today on a new computer and started updating everything. I installed Service Pack 3 and continued installing a few more updates. Now when the auto update and it downloads the updates, when it tries to install them it always fails. I tried doing it on the website and auto update tool. Neither way will work.

have you administritive rights to install? try either giving your account admin rights or signing in as administrator

I fixed it. I uninstalled service pack 3 then reinstalled it and all the updates worked thereafter. Odd.
