I would worry about this rather than worrying about GPS or any of your other 
software. If your Windows is somehow damaged such that it cannot upgrade, 
that can cause other, weird effects on any installed software.

I certainly would try to figure out the cause of the upgrade problems before 
I did much else, as one possibility is malware. (Indeed, I'd seriously 
consider wiping the system and doing a clean install if I couldn't fix the 
update problems.)

And depending on what you're using the system for, switching to Linux might 
be a better choice anyway. For Ada development and basic tasks like browsing 
and word processing, Linux works just as well as Windows and doesn't break 
as much once you get it working. (No forced obsolence, for one thing.)
