Hey all,

I built my friend a new gaming PC and decided to put Windows 8.1 on it because I had installation media for Windows 8. The installation went fine but Windows Update keeps failing on me (see screenshot below). I've stopped and restarted the Windows Update service, tried rebooting a number of times, but I'm not really sure what to do. I was gonna try to do them manually using catalog.update.microsoft.com but idk which updates to do since none of them are working in the first place. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
