My windows update is not working The message says windows update needs an update to be able to get updates. Everytime I try to update it says the same thing and will not check for updates

Search the update code/number (for example KB123456) on MS's website and see if there is a download of the update. Make sure you get the correct version for your OS (ie 32 or 64 bit as determined by right clicking on computer and selecting properties) if they have one for each.
