@bigalx Welcome to HP Forums Community!
How are you installing these updates? is it via the HP Support Assistant? or is it the Windows updates?
If it is the HP Support Assistant, try the below steps, and if its the Windows Updates I suggest you restart the device, create a new admin user account and check if that works:
-
In Windows, search for an open Uninstall a program.
-
On the Programs and Features window, select HP Support Assistant, then click Uninstall.
Figure : Uninstall HP Support Assistant

-
Click Yes on the Programs and Features screen to confirm you want to uninstall HP Support Assistant.
Figure : Uninstall confirmation

-
Restart your computer to complete the process.
I suggest you reinstall the application using this link: Click here to install the latest version to resolve this issue.
