| 1344392 | 2013-06-01 00:17:00 | I bought an Acer notebook running Windows 7 Starter last week. Update History lists a number of failed updates. Is there a quick way to download all the fails or do I have to do it one by one? |

There's probably error codes here Did you check for updates / try and install the updates?? And it still fails? |

| 1344397 | 2013-06-01 04:28:00 | Looks like those are successful messages. Were there any unsuccessful messages earlier in the log? | Jen (38) | ||
| 1344398 | 2013-06-01 04:56:00 | Yup it should say failed and something like error code 0x something | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1344399 | 2013-06-01 05:15:00 | If nothing appears in updates now that you've checked., there are none. I wouldnt worry about it. The failed ones have probably installed sometime | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1344400 | 2013-06-03 08:21:00 | Thanks Speedy and Jen. I sorted through the confusion by clicking on the Name column in the Update History page. This made it much easier to check and found that all but 2 fails had successfully up dated within c. 24 hrs. The 2 remaining fails (both twice) are KB2829530 and 2847204. |
