Hello, I'm fairly new here and I was having issues installing updates to Windows 8.1 and was hoping I could receive some help. I've been trying to install updates for awhile now with Windows 8.1, but they just keep failing to install, the error code I get is 80070246. I've tried googling that but sadly I haven't came up with much, that's why I am hoping you guys could help. Any help with this issue will be appreciated.
