Unable to install updates

[Windows Central Question]

From the "Update & Security" Panel, i see that I have updates available for install. When I click "Install Now" and "allow UAC", I recieve this error.

There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information.

As this has been going on for months, I have searched the web and paid to have this evaluated. I've been told that my only option is to do a clean Win10 install (with the subsequent hours of reinstalling all of my software and their updates). Is there another option?

try the troubleshooter as has been suggested
What OS version is your device on? You can check in settings > system > about >OS build

Do you also have the setting enabled to get updates for other MS products like office? Try switching that off
