The issue is to get the item out of the installed devices in the device manager. I mentioned wireless NICs specifically because I had one desktop with a wireless NIC that would take 2 hours to install updates then fail and unwind the whole thing. It was a 3-4 hour process every time I tried something new. Once I pulled the wireless NIC out, the install went through. I re-installed the NIC, the drivers updated and the problem was resolved.

A lot of the new HPs have a built in wireless adapter on the motherboard. I've not had one of those that has been an issue. It was only 3rd party devices. This is not to say that disabling it wouldn't help. It would certainly be on my list of things to try. Keyboard, Mouse, ethernet cable, power cord, monitor. Everything else disabled or unplugged.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try it. My computer has a Realtek network adapter.

Do you suggest I let Windows Update download the file, then disable the adapter and install the update? Or download the file manually from the Windows Update Catalog website, then disable the adapter and execute the file?
