I'm a Mac user and run Windows 7 via VM under Parallels Desktop. Mac users may find my experiences below amusing, Windows users moreso! Don't mind me, just read and enjoy and be thankful it's not you:
So here I am running my Windows updates, which were repeatedly failing on two out of the three Important Updates. After a few tries I seemed to be making progress.
When Windows Update got to the point where it was installing IE9, the dialog just sat there. And sat there. I had forgotten I experienced this before on another machine, and I couldn't believe the solution.
What happens is (and this is Microsoft genius!), the dialog where you have to actually click Install appears UNDER/BEHIND the Windows update window where you can't see it! Now THAT is security!
I only discovered this when getting impatient and dragging the Windows Update window aside for some reason.
Amazing.
Also, the dialog says there are 3 important updates, then proceeded to install 2 out of 2 (??).
PS: The updates failed again (two error codes this time)... Maybe I need to reinstall Windows, ha! All this just to do some Windows-only product screenshots.
