  4. Out of all the available updates, only select 5-6 updates of the same kind – the Windows 8 updates, for example – and download and install them. • Once the updates you selected have been installed, restart your computer. • Check for available updates again, and this time, download and install another batch of 5-6 similar updates – Windows 8 Security updates or media codec updates, for example. Restart your computer once again.

  5. Turn off Secure Boot to install all of the updates • Turn your computer off. • Power your computer on and, in the early stages of its boot-up method press no matter secret is necessary to get you into your computer’s BIOS.

You are sure to notice the choice in one of these two tabs, but if you don’t, look for the option in different tabs of the BIOS. • Once you have found the Secure Boot or UEFI Boot choice, disable it by highlight it, pressing Enter, pressing the Down Arrow key and pressing Enter once more.

  6. Save your changes, exit the BIOS and reboot your computer. • Go to control panel > Windows Update > Troubleshoot.
