Windows 10 in Linux Mint automatic update fails to install

Post by wsbones »

I have Window 10 home running in Virtualbox 5.0.2 r 102096 under Linux Mint 17.3. This Windows automatic update (KB3163018) requires a restart but then fails to install. Other updates have installed in the past but this one fails each time.

It does install on my "real" Window 10 hardware.

Any ideas?

? My main suggestion is that you contact Microsoft with your Windows support question.

It seems related to the way vbox shuts down and then restarts but thanks for the reply.

Moved to Windows guest.

If it fails then there must be a notation about it somewhere. I don't do Windows a lot but when I did it always had an indication of the problem. Search through the reporting logs on the guest and see what it says. Post that and if it is a VirtualBox issue then someone can help. Without any more information than it just fails no one can tell why.
