On this Wiki I hope to list the most common Windows Error messages and provide resources to fix them!

Windows Update is a service provided by Microsoft for users of Microsoft Windows which provides updates for the operating system and its installed components. Microsoft Update is an optional feature that can be enabled to provide updates for other Microsoft software installed on a Windows computer, such as Microsoft Office, and Windows Live applications.

Security updates are delivered by the Windows Update service on the second Tuesday of each month. However, security updates can be delivered whenever a software update is required to prevent an exploit targeting Windows users.

Windows Update can be configured to automatically install updates, ensuring that a computer is always up-to-date and not vulnerable to computer worms and other such malware.
