THE ATTACKS and Windows does not update.



So one of our stores computer which is on windows 8.  The recent .net 4.6.2 couldn't be installed and this was a critical component of installing the quickbooks POS.  The technician from quickbooks worked for 7 hours without avail.  Finally it came down to our lap.

Here are the things we did.

The computer was on windows 8.  We wanted to upgrade to windows 10 but then understood the challenges of the hardware compatibility.    We tried to install he .net 4.6.2 and it was returning with an parameter not right.

So we tried couple of things and found that the windows had the update problem and did not update for a long time.  We then decided to update the windows patch.

Unfortunately we found that the windows patch were giving error.

The error was

Windows Update problem. Error 80070422



after lot of tinkering, we finally found that the the "windows module installer" service should be automatic and started.
