Webroot causing errors in Microsoft Updates
A friend of mine bought a used Toshiba laptop. She asked me if I could get it set up for her. It was running Windows 8.1. I was able to do a clean install of Windows 10 including the Fall Creators Update. I was able to install Office 2013 for her because I had an unused license. I told her that she should install Webroot. She agreed so I bought and installed Webroot complete. At this point there were several Microsoft updates that needed to be installed. They would not install. They returned an error code 0x80070643. The only way I could install the updates from Microsoft was to disable Webroot by right clicking the icon on the taskbar and selecting shut down protection. Anybody have any thoughts.
