Howdy all,
I get this error when trying to do any sort of windows update for the past
few months and it has finally annoyed me enough to post about it.
I have several updates available and when i click install the whole list
just scrolls by and they all say failed. I get error 0x80246008 when i click
on the install history. That window just sys to try the update again.

Is there a fix for this? I can download them manually and install just fine
but it's a pain with 10 or 15 updates.
