    I tried manually updating the Windows Update Agent as you suggest and it did
    not work either.

    Did you check the file versions after manually downloading and installing
    the WU Agent file? Did they all change to the .226 version? Did you do a
    Restart after installing? Do you have Admin rights?

    Suggest you boot into Safe Mode, delete the C:\Windows\Software Distribution
    folder, the Restart back into Normal mode. Open Computer, right-click the
    C: drive, select Properties then Disk CleanUp. Check all the options then
    run the cleaning process. Now again attempt to manually install the WU
    Agent file. (be sure you download the one that matches your OS).

    How do I check to see if the file versions have been updated/changed to the
    ..226 version? I ask this because when I manually installed the update, it
    said it installed successfully. However, when I check the update history on
    Windows Update, it still says that the update failed.

    Check the version of one or all of the files mentioned in the article:


    BTW WU will now show a history of updates that have been installed manually.

    I have the .226 version of the files. So the question is, why am I getting
    the install failure error in the WU update history?
