Have you ran the malware scans post #17? They are excellent programs from malwarebytes. Be nice to know if you are clear of malware!:wink:
I'll hang here until you finish the malware scan!:wink:

Hi @ Alain! That's good news. Good job! I have asked for help. Not sure if, or when anyone will post suggestions. I would do the in-place repair upgrade post #19.
It goes through a whole bunch of restarts. Some times it seems like it's hanging up. Goes fast some times and then just sits there other times. I had to use it to get my last update to complete. It would be good if you had a back up image created on a external drive. That's another story. It would be sad to go back to factory,but that could be the last resort! It's nap time my find. I have really enjoyed helping you with this issue. I'll check back later. I don't understand the .bat file not resetting the up dates. Good to hear no malware and no file errors!

in case you want a permanent solution and don't want to deal with this again, press Start, type services, hit enter key, find "Windowsupdate" double click on it, set it to disabled, click apply and click on the stop button, done

if you want updates for some reason, go to windowsupdate catalog site where you can find and download the packages to install them whenever you want

Hi @EspHack! Thanks for your help. It is appreciated. Not sure I would stop windows updates however. Updates are created for your protection. Post #2 has information about windows update catalog. It would be a good idea to try the manual update if the OP didn't try it. It was suggested in post #2, but I don't know if it was tried. Thanks for helping. Team work is always good!:wink: You are appreciated!

Hum manual update. Got to read back post #2.
Right now my computer is rolling back again as I'm typing this. After I'll go and see for the manual update

edit..: downloading manually
Edit 2.: standalone updater in working process

Running the manual update to see if it makes any difference. It seems that it might take awhile before it's done

Yes It's fairly large! I have my fingers crossed for you! Are you doing the 64 bit one??

Yes I am

I wonder if I really need that update?
If the manual update doesn't work then I'll do what the other said. Cancelled it.

Also think about the in-place repair. I think you need this up date. Here's a read about it and what all it's patching!
Microsoft has released a new cumulative update KB3197954 via Windows Update to Windows 10 PC and Mob | Windows 10 Forums

Right the In-place repair .... i guess it is the next step if the manual update doesn't work
The computer is in the updating process now

Hi That would be my suggestion friend! Here's a thread I started about Patch Tuesday. You might enjoy reading it!:wink: I was pretty upset when I started this thread!

Manual update has not gone through. Computer is rolling back again.

Now time for in-place repair to see if that would do something

Good luck! That will take awhile! It took me (2 hours+) Check back here later! It's been fun!:wink: I've done it a couple of times!

change my mind. I will block the update

I went that route

 

[holdum333]

:wink: Do you use Windows defender? If you do, you will not get any more definition updates! IMHO it's not a good idea. Good luck I truly enjoyed helping you. I wish the out come would have turned out better! Did you try the trouble shooter that I attached?
