This is common if Windows isn't activated or is pirated. This can also occur from Antivirus protection being to strict or incorrect settings in internet explorer.

Therefore, is Windows legitimate and Activated? Have you made changes to Internet explorer? Had any other problems recently?

no it came with the laptop i brought and i haad just downloaded the new google chrome browser however for some reason i was able to get out of the updating process so tyvm neways
