Hello, everyone,

I installed the windows 8 OS on my laptop several months ago. It has been running efficiently. However, in the last few days, there were always updating information. The auto updating program has been automatically updating and each updating was ended with failure. The sp is 64 bit and the system is 64 bit too. But why it can not update automatically?

It really depressed me a lot. Pls do a favor.

Thank you!

Hi,

Check your network connection in Windows 8. I have met the similar problem for the bad network connection. Set your updating as automatical updating. Then reboot your computer to have another try.

Hi Hongmay,

First of all, you should make sure you have turn on your Windows Updating. Then check your setting. Setting up Windows Update is simple: Just go to the Microsoft Update website. If you've already got automatic updating turned on, Windows Update in Control Panel will open and show your update status. If it's not yet turned on, you'll be guided through the steps to do so. After that, all the latest security and performance improvements will be installed on your PC quickly and reliably.

In most cases, most updates will download and install without you having to lift a finger if you have turn on automatic updating. But sometimes Windows Update will need your input during an installation. In this case, you'll see an alert in the notification area at the far right of the taskbar—be sure to click it.

Hope helps you.
