Window update errors on VMs
Good Afternoon experts,
I'm running into an issue trying to update multiple VMs in my environment. The VMs are different 64 bit installs of various Window servers. I can hide them, but prefer the piece of mind in resolving the actual errors. The VM I'm working on now has Windows Server 2012 R2 installed. I'm getting the below errors:
Security update for Windows server 2012 (KB3000483)
Security update for Windows server 2012 (KB3110329)
Security update for Windows server 2012 (KB3126593)
Security update for Windows server 2012 (KB3146723)
Security update for Windows server 2012 (KB3175024)
Security update for Windows server 2012 (KB3184943)
Any thoughts?

Ok, thanks. Try installing manually and see what happens. Also, have you rebooted and then tried?
Yes As Scott insisted try installing manually and post screen shots of errors
Also try this

Go to My Computer and open C drive. Next navigate the following path: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistrib
Step 2
There is a great number of folders in Download folder where you should look for a folder named ex:"a39ba752a8aa7203217c75

I tried doing the install manually and one update says it's already installed and the others are saying "it's not applicable to your computer". I thought Window Update is suppose to ignore these "non applicable" updates. Is there a way to update Windows Update so these don't show as errors?

You could try this:
1. Stop the Windows Update service.
net stop wuauserv
2. Delete the Windows Update cache directory C:\Windows\SoftwareDistrib
3. Remove-Item -Recurse -Force C:\Windows\SoftwareDistrib
4. Restart the computer. (It may require several restarts to actually get everything deleted from this directory, so keep trying if necessary.)
5. Run Windows Update manually again. It will fail almost instantly and offer to run a diagnostic tool. Download the tool and allow it to run. (link below)
The tool will find and fix some problems. At this point, run Windows Update manually again. Windows Update should work fine at this point.
