Windows server 2008 does not installed updates !

[zillah]

Hi Expert

Client of mine has got very simple network with windows 2008 server as standalone server (not active directory) and I enabled updates as shown through the control panel as shown below :

When the updates are ready to be installed as below :

And when I hit the button to install the important update I get this failed message below

1- Since I have chosen to install the updates automatically through the control panel why the updates did not get installed automatically ??

2- Why when I hit the button to install the updates it failed ?

3- What would be the best practice for updates installation ?

Thanks

It's likely a specific update causing the issue, and if so this will help.
