abe,

Go to Start > Run > type in

regedit
Click OK
Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\Setup

by clicking the plus signs. Then click the plus sign next to the Setup
folder.
Click on the ServiceStartup folder.
In the right frame, these should be the only entries you see

Name - (Default)
Type - REG_SZ
Value - (not set)

If there are any other Names listed besides (Default), then right click
them, and choose Delete.
Close the registry editor by clicking all of the minus signs all the way
back to My Computer. Exit the registry editor.

[*** NOTE: *** DO NOT delete anything else from the registry, please.
Improper editing of the registry may render the system inoperable.]

Restart the system.
Revisit " MS Updates "

Did that resolve the issue ?
