It seems to have popped up when I was getting updates from Windows. Every time I go to sign off, I get a bunch of updates that it says, need to install them. What can I do to get rid of the error code?
While reading, it says that this is caused by update KB3004394. Looked and I do not see that update
on my computer.

Thanks. I gave it a shot and could not get it to work. I still have the situation where it says I have 14 updates ready to
install but when I shut down, it still says there are updates and the screen shows that it is downloading 1 of 2. I have a boat
load of failed updates listed.

Try clearing the update cache:

Sorry, I have not been on here lately, have been fighting with Turbo Tax and a problem with a K-1 sent by a stock company I own.
Getting back to my problem here, nothing I have tried including your suggestion, I am met with failure. I am not even able to get into the suggestions as Administrator. Looks like I need to re-boot and start over much as I hate to have to do that.
PS I am still dealing with the Fed Tax, Turbo and the K-1 after being on the phone with Turbo for over an hour. Had a problem last year with the same thing, a real pain you know where.

When I tried to clear the cache, I put in "net stop wuauserv", I got "System Error 5 Has Occurred" Access Denied.

Thanks, I found a write up on line when I googled the error 5 and it told me to right click. I ran it again last night and it worked ok.
It kept telling me I had 2 updates each and every time I went to shut down so I went to hibernate and did not have to deal with the same 2 updates. After I did the cache clean out and went to shut down, it said I had 19 updates ready to install, installed them shut down and did a restart and there were no updates listed to install. So Thanks for all the help, I might be on the road to being rid of that problem. I am sure I will need your help in the future, again Thanks.
