Installation :: Updates Not Working Every Few Days
Sep 19, 2015
Over the last 14 days Windows Update has failed to work, also when I check installed update there are non showing up.To get it to work again I have to use the Command Prompt in Administrator mode and run sfc /scannow and when that has completed run.DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
After running these two commands I can then check for updates and see previously installed updates.how to get Updates to run correctly without having to run these two commands
I think the "updates freezing" issue has come up in another thread but I can't find it momentarily.
The screen shots show what I've been looking at for two days now. Obviously something is amiss with Automatic Update but I dunno what, or what to do about it.
After several days of using Win10, my icons for some files turns into the one attached, so far, the affected files are...
1. media files(mp3,mp4,mov,avi,etc) that are linked to MPC-x64, but when I set MPC-x86 as default, it fixes the icon. 2. UltraISO files. 3. ZIP and RAR files.
System is Win10 x64 Enterprise, UEFI mode
it's quite annoying to see these icons and can't find the solution on google since I don't know how to address this abnormality.
I was having BSODs all throughout December. The problem seemed to be fixed when I didn't have a crash for 10 days, and now it crashes frequently. I'm worried there might be a new issue.
My previous post is here for a little more information: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (win32kfull.sys), atikmdag.sys, etc - Windows 10 Forums
And the new debug file: DESKTOP-SAJ2R33-Sun_01_31_2016_165248_86.zip
I've notice iTunes does not run if my PC has been left on for a few days. If you click it then it runs as a process but has no window, no message, no anything.
I cant get the win 10 updates to work keep getting this message (We couldn't get online to download your updates. We'll try again later, or you can check now. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're connected to the Internet.)
In the Reliability Monitor I find 6 'Critical Events' detailed as "Downloaded Maps Manager - stopped working". These events occurred on separate days.
Also in Settings/Updates there is the tick box option to "Download updates for other Microsoft Products" . Tick or untick this option. Would ticking it perhaps result in unwanted extras?
For the second time in a row after an update my start button and task bar have stopped working. I downloaded a batch file from a forum site the last time and it worked, so i used it again. My system is now working again. As this appears to be an issue that Microsoft cannot resolve I am now going to turn off automatic updates.
I recently made a clean install of Windows 10. However when I reboot I noticed that the Wi-Fi tray icon wasn't showing any menu. I click it and nothing happened. No list was shown, the only way to connect was to go to This PC Configuration --- Internet & Networks --- Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi tray icon, battery and volume don't work. I don't know what to do. I search about it and found something about resetting explorer.exe, I try that but didn't work.
I am upgrading from Windows 7 to a pc but it seems to be stuck looking for updates. should I start again? Well, I am starting over but was wondering if I could do something different to avoid the problem.
Have updates that are "Waiting to download" (again because they Failed to install) - NO USER OPTION to start them individually or collectively.
and there is No user option to Stop Windows10 downloading constantly failing updates over and over.
That must be fixed:
How do I stop daily Office XP Service pack 3 download of course after the download it does fail to install?
If such update was ever issued this should be no problem to install even if it was for the XP.
This must be the reason the Windows Upgrade to 1511 crashes the computer after "Installing features & Drivers reaches 100% - and Configuring settings 100%.
System Properties > Hardware > Device Installation Settings
Here I want to:
1. No, let me choose what to do 2. Never install driver software from Windows Update 3. Disable Automatically get the device app... As shown in the snapshot.
I want to do the above steps via registry (.reg file) or a .bat/.cmd file.
I upgraded to 10 again without doing anything I usually do before hand. I went to disable the option to not let windows update install drivers and theres no option. I went to advanced system settings, hardware, then device installation settings and theres only 2 options, yes (recommended) and no (your device might not work as expected)
I downloaded windows 10 from the ms site (the automatic icon never appeared on my pc), and am using the media creation tool.
All goes fine until 'Getting Updates', when it hangs on 'checking for updates'.
I have tried playing with the settings in Windows update, but suspect the problem lies in there somewhere... my windows 7 was recently proving unable to install all its updates also. I've tried various solutions for that but no luck.
New PC with a fresh W10 Pro installation. After cca 10 days I cannot run anything from search window with the cogwheel or "toothed" wheel on the left including for example "Check for Updates","Windows Update Settings",... It doesn't react to my mouse clicking at all
