Solution for Windows 8 Update Failing On KB2770917

Windows Update is failing on update KB2770917. This is Very annoying due to the fact that this update requires a reboot. Here is what you can try to solve this problem. The following solution worked for me.

Hit windows key + R to open Run command.

1. Type in msconfig.exe and hit enter
2. go to the Services tab on the top
3. Check the box on the bottom that says hide all microsoft services
4. Click Disable all
5. Restart the computer
6. Install update

After installation follow the same instructions but click enable all instead of disable all and restart again and everything should be good. Hopefully it works for others.
