Windows security updates not installing

[bes4]

Win 8.1 security update is failing to install.

(KB4535680)

800F0922 error

This is not a Samsung problem as it's occurring on many different machines.

However, that doesn't solve the problem.

Not sure what you're asking, but Windows is a Microsoft product and so has nothing to do with Samsung.

Thanks.

I think this is too complicated for me.

I have looked at the support and it tells me to contact the manufacturer which is Samsung.

They passed me to digicare.ltd who want me to send the machine to them which means I will loose the machine for 10 days and probably be charged.

Thanks Brian

You can actually ignore this update not installing. It won't stop your PC from working. What it is for is the EFI capsule to remove secure boot certificates that are years old and have been leaked. The reason it says contact the OEM is because an OEM can lock the EFI capsule to prevent it being tampered with. What does this mean for you? Don't be worried about compromised security because it hasn't been. You don't need to send it off for repair, just ignore the error.

From the list of offline installers, click the one that corresponds with your system. Make sure to remove the failed installation first.

That may still not work but is worth a try. The error is a write error code

OK.

Hi

This is an old problem that has not been solved.

My computer runs ok but when I let windows shutdown and turn it off, when I switch it on again it takes as long as 30 minutes for it to start.

It says couldn't install updates and then removes them.

It is very frustrating if I need to look at something quickly and I can't

!!!

You could actually upgrade to Windows 10 free of charge from 8.1 which should mitigate this issue but the best way is to clean install rather than attempt an in-place upgrade. If you choose to try this, backup your important files first to external storage
