MicroSoft Upate Many Users don't know that there is an UPDATE to Microsoft UPDATE. I have found many systems, that the built-in Microsoft update was NOT working because the system never had Microsoft Update Updated. This is important to do. Once it's Updated, go back and check for Updates to Updates til it finally says there are none.
