Re: Updates are downloaded but fail to install

Hey, that text document did not work for me so i made a batch file that does
the trick. Others may find this useful.

Copy and paste this into notepad, then save as, under the file type drop
down pick all types, and make sure to name it something.bat

@Echo Off
Set key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\SensLogn"
REG ADD %key% /v Asynchronous /t REG_DWORD /d 1
REG ADD %key% /v Safe /t REG_DWORD /d 1
REG ADD %key% /v MaxWait /t REG_DWORD /d 258
