      Had issues with Windows Updates - this is what I finally got....

      What kind of computer is it? Surface Pro?

            Was guessing as much because of the name of the System Firmware Update that's what MS calls driver updates for MS hardware - sigh

              Not updated yet. I lost Internet and thus connection to that computer. About to apply it now.

                Surface's have had network problems pretty much since the beginning.

                      For Sales people - who travel - what would you suggest that is better? They have about 15 Surface units as it is now.

                        To be noted that they have 15 or so and only 1 has this issue. So it is not just a Surface blanket issue.

                          Don't know what they are using it for. I've never found the Surface to be a good tool, too many bugs and problems both software and hardware. It might seem neat, but it still comes across as a toy to me.

                            Ugh... there was an update not too long ago that caused the wireless to be completely unreliable. It was fixed the following month with a patch. Looks like this Surface missed that patch.

                              Possible... even with this update,.. there seems to be Windows Update issues.

                              This is the error I have seen on this one,.. and I think others..

                                  Reboot it and give it another go.

                                      I have had really good luck with the Fixit Tool for Windows Update.
