Q:

Windows update doesn't list update details, only the number of updates

My system is Vista Business 32 bits SP2.
When I click "Windows update", I can see there are 2 available optional updates. If I click the link "2 optional updates are available" to see what the updates are, I get:

The details about the updates are EMPTY. Any idea why this is happening? It doesn't happen only with optional updates, but with critical updates as well.
I would like to fix this, so I can see what the updates are.

A:

Forcefully killing the respective explorer.exe process and retrying fixed the problem for me.
