    Deleting downloaded Windows update files...


    Windows 10 v. 1909 (18363.900)...

    One of my system had downloaded the W10 2004 feature update, circled in red, to the folder below:


    Deleting downloaded Windows update files... [​IMG]


    Applying the update had been delayed for a week.

    To my recollection, the content of the download folder can be deleted, but don't recall the exact procedure.

    Can someone give me a quick summary of the procedure and/or link to the tutorial on the subject?

    TIA...

    :)

  2. Vista x64 won't download updates?

    The last updates on my home desktop are dated 16th June.
    I've powered it on some 3 or 4 times since then, but nothing was downloaded automatically as per settings.

    I tried the manual update from the CP but I get an error code 80070002.

    I did the troubleshooting suggested (i.e. stop the Windows Update service, delete the temporary update files, restart the Windows Update service, and then try to check for Windows updates again) but I still keep getting the same error code, even after rebooting *Confused Deleting downloaded Windows update files... :confused:

    What gives?

  3. Windows 10 forced download

    To stop the download, uninstall the KB3035583 update (under "Control Panel > Windows Update > Installed Updates").


    To get rid of the C:\$Windows.~BT folder:
    • Right-click on your C: drive.
    • Select "Properties".
    • Click on [ Disk Cleanup ]
    • After the initial scan: If you have a [ Clean up system files ] button, click it and wait for the second scan to finish.
    • Scroll down the list and look for "Temporary Windows installation files" (its size should be in the gigabytes range); check the box.
    • Click on [ OK ] to start the clean-up.

    Windows 10 forced download

    ^This, then reboot and go to manually update windows. Find KB3035583 in the list of available updates, right-click and "Hide this update" so it doesn't get installed again next go around.
