Cant download updates windows 10 version 1709

Hi Jon, version has been released, you should go straight to that version to bring your system up to date and make all previous updates obsolete . . .

With these major upgrades, the most successful method is to upgrade from the Windows 10 ISO - you download the ISO and then perform an Offline Upgrade

Click this link:
rushbrookrathbone.co.uk
to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO

When the ISO file completes downloading

Disconnect from the Internet

Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

Then, double click the ISO and then run rushbrookrathbone.co.uk to begin the upgrade . . .

Hi Jon. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Guardian Moderator here to help you.

I'll give you everything possible for fixing failed Windows Updates, so that at least something will work before you work through them all:

Some Updates will sort themselves out in a few days so I'd wait to see. If not or they are bothering you then here are steps you can take:

1) There is a new guided walk-through from Microsoft for repairing Windows Update that leads up to resetting components if necessary: rushbrookrathbone.co.uk Try running that first.

2) If that fails try manually resetting Windows Update Service:

Open administrative Command Prompt and type following commands one-by-one followed by Enter key.

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution rushbrookrathbone.co.uk
Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 rushbrookrathbone.co.uk
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

Close Command Prompt and see if Windows Updates works then

3) You can also install the Updates manually that fail to install which are logged at Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Installed Update History, and then search for those to download and install from this Catalog: rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

A running log of Update History with known issues is here:
rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

4) If they continue to fail and interfere, then you can block them using one of these methods: rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

5) What I'd do at this point if you haven't yet is install latest Version by installing Media Creation Tool from this link and choose Upgrade This PC Now: rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

This is the most stable way to change to the newer version and because it reinstalls WIndows while keeping your files and programs in place, fixes most problems. It also brings all Windows Updates to date.

If there are any hurdles during install then these steps can overcome them: rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

6) If problems with Updates have become chronic and especially if you have other performance problems, go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account. Then continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

7) Be aware that what we have found is that in Windows 10 everything depends on the quality of the underlying install, the same reason enthusiasts have never run Factory or Upgrade installs because they know there would be endless issues.

For example there have been zero return problems by those who follow the gold standard Clean Install here: rushbrookrathbone.co.uk It is better and faster than any previous version of Windows, and a better install than any amount of money could buy. So when you get time I'd study over that to see if it's something I can help you do.

8) There is also an automated Fresh Start that reinstalls Windows while shedding factory bloatware that can cause issues and affect performance, saves your files, but doesn't clear the drive to get it cleanest: rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

Good news! There are major changes in Version giving back control over Updates to the consumer. Microsoft has heard us at the highest level who announced this here:

Hi. jondavies5

My Name is David B.

In this case, verify that your computer has the necessary features to be able to update and install more frequent versions of Windows first. It is necessary that you have the minimum requirements for updating the equipment.

Now, in this case the address of the problem is related to the Windows Troubleshooter so I recommend you do the following:

• Enter the Command Prompt mode.

• Right click on the Windows key and choose Command Prompt or Windows Powershell (Administrator).

• Copy and paste the following commands in the Command Prompt and press Enter after each one of them:

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
Ren C: \\ Windows \\ SoftwareDistribution rushbrookrathbone.co.uk
Ren C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ catroot2 rushbrookrathbone.co.uk
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

If these commands have not helped you to solve the error "Potential error of the Windows update database detected", try to solve the error sfc / scannow and Dism. To do this, perform the following steps:

• Press the Windows key + X and choose Command Prompt or Windows Powershell (Administrator).

• Type the sfc / scannow command and press Enter.

• Then type the following commands and press Enter after each of them:

rushbrookrathbone.co.uk / Online / Cleanup-image / Scanhealth
rushbrookrathbone.co.uk / Online / Cleanup-image / Restorehealth

Close the Command Prompt and restart the system.


Regards…
