  1. Can't update Windows 10


    Hello,


    I'm having problems updating my Windows 10. Every time it tries to update automatically, I get a notification like "Something went wrong, updates couldn't be installed." When I try to update it or look for updates manually from Settings the menu only says "Something went wrong. Try to reopen Settings later."

    I then downloaded the Windows 10 October 2020 Update manually from Microsoft's website. When trying to instal it, I get an error message "Can't find the neccessary file. Please check if you have permission to write to the installation folder." I am loged in as administrator and I am running the installation as an administrator, still results the same error message.



    Windows version: 2004

    Windows edition: Windows 10 Pro

    OS Build: 19041.450

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
