Basically I have had problems with Windows updates for a while; pretty much it freezes every time i run this thought. I somehow fixed this automatically with a schedule, when the computer starts updating windows, it doesn’t crash. Go decide. However, late at night I got a new problem. All of a sudden I have a window that says my windows did not pass the real check. There were a few tips on Microsoft’s site, but none of them helped.
