Windows 10: Can’t cancel updates anymore

It takes two hours for my computer to try to update, fail, and undo all of it. Every single time it tries to update this happens. Every time I turn on my computer, it tries to update, making it so that it’s rather I turn off my computer and wait for 2 hours when I need to use it again, or leave it on for eternity and hurt the computer’s battery life. The way I solved this was by disabling through servic.msc but suddenly it stopped giving me the option to disable updates through there. So then I decided to change the time that windows updates happen by saying I’m busy from 6 am to 12 am in normal settings, but today I got an update at 12 pm and had to wait two hours again. Are there any other options to canceling windows updates?

Cancelled Win10 upgrade reservation, but DL starts on every Win8.1 reboot

I followed the steps to cancel the Windows 10 reservation for my system. The icon was in my tray and I followed the steps to properly cancel.

Every time I would run Windows Update, the upgrade for Win10 was there and checked as an optional item. I would uncheck it and try to download required patches instead. Windows wouldn't cooperate and would DL the upgrade for W10 to my system.

Searching the Net, I found a tip about uninstalling KB3035583 to prevent this reservation. Ok, uninstalled that KB. Win8.1 STILL wants to upgrade and DL the file on reboots!!

What else do I need to do to cancel this reservation AND to fix my Windows Update so it's not trying to DL Win10 anymore? Help? Suggestions? Tips?

 

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 Best regards.


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