Laptop running 8.1, using bitdefender for antivirus software. when I run windows update it shows updates needed for install. clicking on download updates I get error 800703E6.. I can also run updates thru bitdefender which has update install, it also fails to install required updates. I ran windows update troubleshooter and it said errors were fixed. I need some help at this point. Anyone have some suggestions on why this is crapping out?
