Windows 10: 1803 Update Fails and stops PC working completely

The 1803 update I had in May 2018 goes through a number of reboots, then goes to the log on screen. This is an old version of the default log on screen, and it will not accept my password. Not the current one, nor the previous two passwords. If I click "Forgot Password", it displays a blue screen "Please Wait" before once more displaying the log on screen which won't accept my password. I have to press the tiny "Reset" button on my tower, when I get a message "Restoring Your previous version of Windows", and eventually the "normal" log in screen appears, and I can log in with my current password. But I then get a message that an update is pending, and I get additional "update and shut down" options in the shutdown tab. I did disable automatic updates in the control panel, but this seems to disable other stuff such as Windows Store, Back Up, Defender etc. Any suggestions to fix this issue would be gratefully welcome!

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

Thanks
I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!
