    Couldn't install updates using the account you're signed in with


    I have an unexpected Windows Update problem: a recent update apparently can't be installed "using the account" I'm "signed in with". Now, the account I'm using is practically the only account on the machine apart from the built-in Administrator account. It is a local account, but I that has never presented a problem. The update in question is "2021-05 Update KB4023057". Funny enough, updates with this KB number has already been installed twice, back in March and January I'm not at all concerned about missing something. It seems I can't update to 21H1 via Windows update either, however, I have done so on a laptop and haven't noticed any discernible difference, so I'm OK with staying on 20H2. At the same time, I don't like errors in my machine and hence would like to hear ideas, what is this all about. Thanks in advance!

    :)

  2. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

    Update KB4550961 couldn´t be installed

    Hi! I´ve tried hard to install KB 4550961 unsuccessfully. Even run this or that in order to correct whatever the problem might be.

    However, after restart it appears “Updates couldn’t be installed” on the screen. Running Scannow and Restorehealth as Administrator didn´t
    work either.

    I´ve also gone step by step thru “Fix Windows Update errors” steps 1 to 5. I´m reluctant to follow Step 6 Reset or Reinstall Windows –
    Refresh is not included - because I´m afraid I might loss some stuff important, though I created a restoration point and a USB recovery drive, just in case.
