  1. Completely unable to update my computer.


    For the past couple of months, I haven’t been able to update my pc. I blew it off, then last night decided to try and fix it.

    I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Then I found the source of the problem. The “Bits” or “Background Intelligent Transfer Service” is... destroyed?

    I’ve tried everything in the book. I’ve done full system repairs to fix corrupt/missing files, I’ve done sfc scans, I’ve tried stopping and starting the service (which leads to either an error or a message that says the service is already trying to stop), I’ve used the trouble shooting tools, and I’ve looked up every single error I’ve gotten.

    Nothing. To no avail. I’m so stressed and lost. My pc is all I’ve got. So time for some options that are off the table: I’m not buying a new pc (I don’t have the money), I can’t reset my system (whenever I do it says it failed and no changes were made), and I can’t boot windows off a USB (I’ve done that before and always end up breaking something like the two other laptops I’ve done it one).

    I’m lost, and I have no idea what to do, any and all suggestions are welcome. Please help, thanks.

    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 Completely unable to update my computer. :) Best regards.


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