Vista Upgrades

A friend has a laptop running Vista Home Premium. When she tries to download
upgrades, either by setting automatic updates on, or manually, the system
keeps looking for updates until she stops it or sometimes she gets an error
message:windowupdate_8000ffff. You get a similar response if you try to
update Windows Defender.

0x8000FFFF -2147418113 E_UNEXPECTED


Restore to a point before some of the updates was install.

Reboot

Do another update.

-OR-

I suggest to make a full recovery of the computer.
