Windows Update Error 0x800B0100

Might be a long shot, but we have some machines on our network that can't successfully install dozens of updates. We've actually tested a few boxes where we download each patch individually from Microsoft's site and installed them one at a time (rebooting after each single patch install) and they successfully installed.

So you think that maybe doing it one at a time might work when doing them all at once will not? maybe there is some update conflict in a couple of the packages.

I can't explain why it doesn't work from within Windows Update, but that's what worked for us here; if we tried even a single update from within the Windows Update client, it would fail. But if we downloaded the KB patch from Microsoft's site and installed it manually, it worked fine (and almost every patch requires a reboot, so we pretty much had to reboot as many times as we had patches to install).

the report is after you update 3194496 manually, the rest should work fine. It would be interesting to know if that works for you.

We don't have any Windows 10 machines.... I was referring to what fixed our Windows 7 test machines (since it appeared that the Op was referring to the issue on Windows 7 workstations :-/)

I have been patching Windows 7 machines that haven't been turned on for a few months and have found that the update process takes an age of man to complete without manual intervention. (local WSUS)

Fortunately, I have found a process that's worked to speed up the update process.

That is way too intense on IT staff time.

Click check for updates.
Close window and tell user to work like normal.
Next morning, click install.
Close window and tell user to work like normal and when it pops up to reboot, do so.

Way less IT time involved.

Yes, this is true but it can be done while doing other things on the PC. You know, multitasking
