Windows Update Issue

[KR Decade]

Ok. Its like this,

I was downloading the updates till 97%. Then a jerk, go and press my power button, resulting it to sudden shut down. Then, after on it back online, some of it are safely downloaded and can be installed normally. But, some of it doesnt, I keep trying to redo the update but it still keep using the corrupted data. So, I think I have to remove the corrupted download update, but I dont know how and where the files are saved.

Can someone help me on this? So i can redownload the data and do it properly?
Thx in advance for the help.

Firstly, Punch said jerk in the eye!

2nd: clear cache, and empty all temp folders..... if you dont have a program to do this, download Ccleaner, www.piriform.com , run both portions of the program and redo your needed updates.

already tried that. (Latest Ver of it somemore)
but its still there... >_<

Windows 7 downloads updates to this path:
*:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Go in and delete the corrupted data and try to update again.

All your window updates can be removed via Add or Remove programs. Just click show windows updates on the left hand side (at least I think it's the left hand side, I'm on my phone so I can't confirm)

I hope I wont result in Formatting my laptop.... T_T

 

[Ric]

It's all data you've downloaded. Clearing it all won't harm you any, as all you did was download it.

Wipe everything from the folder, don't delete the folder itself.
This includes any sub-folders and all those weird 45454587787892131123jkkka files, too.

Then just simply redownload.
No, you won't have to reformat your computer over this.

 

[KR Decade]

YES! its starting to download again!!!
Thx Ric for the tip!

EDIT : Right after the new download.. it still shows error while installing it.... T_T
Error Found Code 646, Windows Update Encountered Unknown Error

Quoted from Microsoft themselves, in regards to code "646".

Here's 2 resolutions for Vista/Windows 7:
1) Temporarily disable User Account Control. Install the updates,
restart, reenable User Account Control.

2) Open Windows Update in the Control Panel. Click the 'View updates
history' link. Write down the KB number of the *failed* updates.

Next, go here: Microsoft Download Center
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?

Download the updates by searching for the KB number, save said updates.
When you have them all, close Internet Explorer, and install them one at
a time.
NOTE: Be sure to download the updates intended for the architecture of
the system. x86 (32bit) versions for x86 (32bit) systems; x64 (64bit)
versions for x64 (64bit) systems.
