SOLVED Windows error code 0X80004005

[Glenn1951]

I'm told by windows update that I have an update KB3087040, Security update for IE flashplayer for Win 10 but keep getting the above error code. Have rebooted computer several times and tried to install the update to no avail! It keeps saying error installing some updates, try again later with the error code 0x80004005!
What does it mean and why can't I install it????

x86: http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/...f46b769b02.msu
x64: http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/...358aceab49.msu

Just select the 32 bit or the 64 bit version

Thanks, Sam21. I had this problem on my laptop, but not on my desktop. The download worked.
