Anyone.....windows update doesn't work.....why???

[DARTH maul 0]

I can do the Office Updates, so I did them all. But when I try the windows updates, it does nothing and usually stays at 0% done. Maybe 25% done if I'm lucky.

 

What gives?

 

Any alternative windows updates site(s) that work?

Add an "s" after the http in the windows update address and it will take you to another update page which seems to solve the 0% problem.

Wow... that's a new one on me! Https (secure http) is offered by MS for that?

Secure and Microsoft are not really 2 words I would ever use in the same sentence!

Everyone goes off topic all the time, it's stupid.

 

There is a fix for that actually.

The poster didn't reply... I figured at least he was solved. Sorry, had to get into the next poster's comment on Microsoft's "woe's" in security (which seem to be getting levelled at Linux/Unix fronts now... which is good too! Gotta look at the "bright-side" of those hacker-cracker types doing what they do...)
