I check Microsoft updates daily to keep up with my Microsoft Security Essentials ~ yesterday, there were 2 Intel "optional" updates offered ~ I tried to snag those, but both updates "failed" from "an unidentified error" ~ I followed the links provided and something [don't remember what] was "corrected" ~ when I got up this morning, I checked updates and the 2 Intel "optional" updates were again offered ~ I again tried to snag those but again both failed ~ I was able to successfully install a Microsoft Security Essential update just now ~

Any idea what might be going on or suggestions for what I should try? ~ the 2 Intel updates are "Intel Management Engine Interface" and "Intel Active Management Technology - SOL" ~

DAMN! ~ when I just went into my update history to get the name of the 2 failed Intel updates, I see there is now "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home" failure noted! ~ that must be from MSN trying to download it to make it available for whenever I decided to upgrade ~

On my start menu and "all programs", I now have a "Windows Anytime Upgrade" icon. will check it out later, but assume it's the Win10 thingy. Sorry for using such technical terms........

Do you have the update definition numbers?
There are already 8 definition updates for MS security essentials KB2310138 since 7/23/2015
Looks like Microsoft is experimenting a little until they get it right.

Look in your update history if any got installed successfully so far.

All of the security essentials updates [updates to 11 definitions since July 23] have updated successfully ~ what updates have failed are the 2 Intel "optional updates" [noted in the op above] and every try at the "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home" [twice yesterday and 3 times so far today] ~ those Win10 upgrade tries have to be being done by MSN/Microsoft to have it in place for whenever I choose to change to Win10 ~ but it deeply concerns me that that is not holding ~

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I totally had a brain fart with my post above.

I noticed my error when I read your email.

I have had +/- a dozen "fails" on "Upgrade to Windows 10" from MSN in the past few days ~ so this morning, I asked myself "what would Jabra do?" ~ then I asked Google what the "error" number [80240020] meant ~ WHEW! ~ it's a very common issue this early and will eventually correct itself ~ the answers [from Microsoft] also give instructions on how to fix it ourselves if we're anxious to update ~ I'm NOT ... and now I'm content to wait ~
