Why am I getting Windows (10) failed to update when I reboot? There are 2 updates that are not updating for some reason. I have tried to download them again in case they are corrupt, but still no joy. CPU: Intel i7-5820k @3.30GHz, Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX1080, RAM: 16GB DDR5 ram, MoBo: Gigabyte X99-UD4, OS: Windows 10, Viewed on: Oculus Rift or 28" Dell monitor (x2), Hard Drive: 240GB OCZ SSD (for games), 240GB Samsung SSD (Operating System), Plus 3 others

I prefer to just stop Window updates serivice and just delete "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" secficily just the download folder it delete all the download while keeping history
