TuneUp Offers Troubleshooting Tips to Help PC Users Get Rid of the Windows Update Blues

Online, May 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - What: Windows Update helps keep Windows fast, reliable and secure; however, update issues are among the most common problems plaguing PC users today. To avoid frustration, some users will ignore Windows Update, but this can be very dangerous-without these updates, they may be open to security vulnerabilities. Issues with Windows Update occur because updating a PC involves replacing hundreds of files, and the process depends on dozens of built-in Windows components. If one of these components is defective, disabled or not set up properly, Windows Update and Service Pack installations will fail.

On its blog, TuneUp has compiled several troubleshooting tips to help users get Windows Update running smoothly again. The company explains how to use Microsoft's Fix It solution and easily fix multiple issues at once. TuneUp also outlines how to install the latest "System Update Readiness Tool" for Windows Vista and 7, and explains how running the troubleshooting wizard in TuneUp Utilities 2011 can help users solve their PC problems.

Who: Any PC user with Windows 7, Vista or XP who is looking to solve issues with Windows Update or a Service Pack installation. The tips are easily understood by anyone, regardless of technical background.
