inconvenience. Our technical team has been alerted and is working on

To get support, use one of the following options:

* Click the back button and try a different support option.* Click the back
button and try to continue in a few minutes.-
* Call 1-800-MICROSOFT (1-800-642-7676).

The WindowsUpdate.log shows no errors. It's showing that the updates are
pending to install at 5:00 PM today, your local time.

Did you do *any* of the steps that PABear recommended or did you just
try to contact MS ?

I installed, ran CCleaner, rebooted hoping that would fix the problem, but I
still had no luck. Today I tried again and the updates downloaded fine.


So the issue is fixed- thanks for your time in try to help me resolve this.

Just an FYI for Mow--- the log message about the scheduled to install the
next day showed up for every day that I tried to install it.
