Windows Update Error 80070643 When Upgrading From Windows 8.1
Jul 29, 2015On Window 8.1. Boosted the install which a lot of people are doing by clearing SoftwareDistribution/Download and running the cmd prompt.
Downloaded the Windows 10 update, as soon as the Preparing to Install dialogue was done, the computer restart, trying to install a normal Windows 8.1 update instead.
Once I am booted up again, I get this error [URL] .... and try the fix.
Once I try and redownload the update again, it skips to 100%, then fails the update with the error 80070643 being reported.
Installation :: Cannot Start Update
Aug 10, 2015I click on the "get windows10" icon and it tells me that every thing is ready to install. So I click on " OK, lets continue" ...
A new window opens telling me "working on it" I had this run for 30 minutes and nothing changes.
I rebooted and started again, same results. I tried this several times, no joy. What am I missing?
Installation :: Update Won't Start?
Aug 2, 2015I am trying to update to Windows 10 on a laptop currently running Windows 7. The problem is that the initial "10 second" prep has been showing "working on it" for over 4 hours.

View 1 RepliesStart Menu Not Working After Update
May 2, 2015For those of you who can't get the Windows Start menu in build 10074 to appear or work when you UPDATE from build 10061 it WILL work if you revert back first to build 10049 and then update.
Activate windows and re-boot -- now it will work. Ensure Windows is activated after the re-boot but activate BEFORE reboot.
(Another good reason for keeping loads of backup images).
You can also now hide system icons again as before too. Don't forget to clean up disk space by using Disk cleanup in properties in file manager -- you can get rid of Windows.old if you don't want to revert back again --in any case I think it's better to RESTORE a previous version from a backup image if you must restore windows.

BSOD :: Laptop Won't Start After Update
Jan 5, 2016My HP Spectre 13 laptop won't complete a startup. It has the update of Windows 10 pro (from 8.1), a solid state drive (SSD), and classic shell. The computer started earlier today and I got a message that I could restart it to effect updates -- so I did. That restart seemed OK. Next I got a notice to upgrade my Kaspersky Internet Security (to KIS2016, I think) so I said OK. Then I got a message that I could restart to make the Kaspersky the effect. I did, and that is when I got messages in the following sequence.
(At some point a message flashed, too briefly to read, about a thread missing or something.)
1) "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We'll restart for you."
---- Messages: "preparing automatic repair" "diagnosing your PC"
2) "Your PC did not start correctly" [restart] [advanced options]
3) at [advanced options] offered this menu:
--(1) Continue - exit and continue to windows 10
--(2) Use a device -- Use a USB drive, network connection, or windows recovery DVD.
--(3) Troubleshoot -- reset your PC or see advanced options.
--(4) Turn off your PC
4) [Troubleshoot] offers:
--(1) Reset this PC - Lets you choose to keep or remove files, and then re-installs windows.
--(2) Advanced Options
5) [Advanced options] offers:
--(1) System restore -- use a restore point
--(2) System image recovery
--(3) Startup repair - fix problems that keep windows from loading.
--(4) Command prompt
--(5) Startup settings - change windows startup behavior.
--(6) See more recovery options - go back to the previous build.
So far I have only accessed the command prompt and listed folders with DIR. I am thinking of trying to use a system restore point, but I am worried about creating even more problems.
I suspect the problem is due to Win 10 or to drivers or to Kaspersky or an interaction between them. I will post this to Windows 10 forum, to HP Support, and to Kaspersky Support.
Start And Taskbar Icons Were Removed After Update?
Dec 18, 2015I've had my new HP Windows 10 for 2 months. Without asking, it was just updated, and took a couple of hours. When it was completed, all my taskbar icons were removed, I can't access the start button, can't open up "ask me anything" button, and probably other things. What to do?
View 1 RepliesUpdate Background Intelligent Service Won't Start
Jul 31, 2015I recently upgrade to windows 10 and so far everything is great except. My Windows update wont download the updates it only gives me error 0x80246008. So I tried to solve it on my own by using these steps.
I suggest you to try to manually reset the Windows Updates Components and check.
Please follow the below steps to reset the Windows Updates Components:
1.Press Windows Key + X on the keyboard and then select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the menu.
2.Stop the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
3. Now rename the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folder. You can do this by typing the following commands in the Command Prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.
ren C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:WindowsSystem32catroot2 Catroot2.old
4. Now, let’s restart the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. Type the following commands in the Command Prompt for this. Press the ENTER key after you type each command.
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
5. Type Exit in the Command Prompt to close it.
Start Menu Icons Won't Work After Auto Update
Dec 22, 2015I upgraded to Windows 10 about a month ago. Two days ago my computer is all the sudden automatically downloading some. Massive update that took a long time and rebooted my computer without prompting me.
After the download was complete I was able to use my computer seemingly as normal, but upon the next restart, the start menu wouldn't open, and the mouse wouldn't click on any of the icons. I tried a restart and got two pop up error messages saying something like "Windows failed to start properly." I tried a hard reboot a coupe times, same thing.
Google searched the problem, found this and followed the steps: How to fix Windows 10 start-up problems - Blackscreen, Bootloop, Infinite Loading [HD 60FPS] - YouTube
No luck. Now every time I boot up my computer it goes to the "automatic repair screen."
I have tried every option available from the "automatic repair screen" menu, including System Restore: because I just downloaded Windows 10, I had no restore points. System Image Recovery: it says have no image to recover). Start Up Repai: tells me Windows can't repair the problem. Command Prompt: I've been able to get in there but I don't really know what to do once there (tried what was suggested in the video above, no luck, everything was already set to zero) Startup Settings:WAS working, I was able to start up in Safemode once, still couldn't click anything and start menu still wouldn't work. Now when I click on Startup Settings and click the restart button to get to the Startup options it just brings me back to the "automatic repair screen" ...I think I've rebooted so many times at this point that my computer can't reboot without taking me there.
I've even tried the "reset this PC" option multiple times and every time it starts to reset, gets to 1% or 2% and then I get an error message saying something went wrong and the PC can't be reset.
Microsoft Edge / Start Menu Icons Gone Since Update?
Aug 17, 2015So my Surface 3 updated itself yesterday, and when I woke up today the majority of the icons I had pinned to my taskbar and my start menu are gone. I've been able to find and pin programmes like "Weather" back to the start menu, but others have completely disappeared, most frustrating of all is Edge.
I can open Edge if I open Cortana and select a news item. When I do that Edge opens full screen, but doesn't deposit an icon on the task bar, so I can't select it. Also, when I swipe in from the left or choose Task View, Edge does not show as an available programme. Changing in and out of tablet mode does nothing.
Also, my PC is just fine.
Automatic Update Caused (Start Menu Isn't Working)
Mar 24, 2016Yesterday morning after booting my computer, I experience the "your start menu isn't working" bug. I contacted Microsoft support and they still do not have a fix for this well-known failure. I checked my Update History and saw that an automatic update had been installed. Restoring from my last restore point resolved the problem. The culprit was "Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3140741)".
View 14 RepliesLatest Update Broke Start Menu And Battery Charging
Nov 22, 2015Ever since I installed the latest "service pack" of Windows 10, my start menu doesn't work and my battery doesn't charge. I've found work around for the start menu creating links on my desktop to my personal start menu and the all users start menu. For now, I just need to leave my computer plugged in. I've fixed the plugged in not charging in the past. But in the past, I've always had a laptop that has a removable battery. This laptop doesn't. But since all this is due to the major upgrade of 10, seems like there has to be a simple or common fix.

Got Windows 7 Pro And SP 1 But Still No Update Popup?
Aug 7, 2015A long time ago I got a windows key through my workplace which I used on my home computer.. I know it's a valid key as I ran the genuine software test.
I also have Service pack one and it says that I have windows 7 professional -- so I know it's not enterprise.
But still I don't have any update popups.. and when I tried to run the manual installer I just got a "something happened 0x80070002 - 0x20016" and the program shuts down.what's wrong?

Windows Update Failed
Oct 20, 2015So after a stressful day at school I got home anxiously waiting to get on my computer, only to find out that after a recent update my computer has completely stopped responding. Now in the first few hours of dealing with this problem I was able to access the Windows repair options, only to find out that all of them failed. I was unable to do a system restore, nor diagnose my computer or even nuke it.
Later on things eventually got worse because now I'm not even able to access the options to fix my computer anymore or even downgrade to Windows 8.1. All that pops up after my computer starts up is "An operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system.
