15 windows updates all failed to install [Anwsered]

15 windows updates all failed to install

Everytime I get windows 8 updates the majority of them fail to install they get downloaded, restart to install get to about 9% then restart and roll back it's a pain, with the majority of updates failing to install.
Why is this happening? I have scoured
the net and it seems a very common problem.
tried disabling Svcs turning off, windows defender, downloading and trying to install one by one - but nothing seems to work.
I am contemplating turning off automatic updates all together.
Please advise - my pc system is Intel core I7 -3770K CPU 3.50GHZ,16GBRAM, 64bit OS windows 8 pro

I would recommend you to follow the below given methods and check if it helps.

a)Open Windows Update in Control Panel by pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking "Search", entering "Windows Update" in the search box,clicking "Settings", and then clicking "Install optional
updates".

If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done.
If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is
disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
