    Cannot apply OS update my Windows 10


    My windows update is saying my OS is EOL and it needs to be patched. I've tried running the update and it keeps failing so I downloaded the Win 10 2004 Nov 2021 update and tried to reinstall and it keeps hanging at 31%. I've followed all the articles I could find for Win 10 install issues and I can't seem to resolve it.https://www.groovypost.com/howto/what-to-do-windows-10-upgrade-fails/https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/all/windows-10-upgrade-getiing-stuck-at-31/f18a3860-561d-4475-a943-0e70df053c31When I run the sfc /scannow am getting an error on the file gathernetworkinfo.v

    Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

    Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

    I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
