    Cannot complete Windows 10 Refresh


    I selected the option to REFRESH my PC. After a long delay it displayed 'Preparing Windows --- installation cannot proceed due to an error --- press OK to restart install'. This is repeated endlessly every time OK is selected. Nothing else appears in the display, there is no response from any of the keys. How can I get past this?

    :)

    Suggestion - GPU-Z window Reload (refresh)

    Most items are refreshed automatically. I'll add driver details to items that get refreshed.

    Adding F5 for complete refresh is a good suggestion

    Suggestion - GPU-Z window Reload (refresh)

    Thanks! *Smile Cannot complete Windows 10 Refresh :) Sounds fine (Ctrl+R as a 2nd way to do the same would be nice too).
    IF you do not want to overburden the main window GUI with the extra Refresh button I suggest, Refresh could be added to the system menu in top left instead, and/or into Settings.
    (such as add a button labeled "Refresh main tab" or similar text of your choosing to Settings)

    Cannot complete Windows 10 Refresh

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    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 Cannot complete Windows 10 Refresh :) Best regards.


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