    Every day my computer tries to update and it fails.


    Can someone tell me what to do to stop these "updates"? Every day my computer tries to install updates - either at start up or shutdown. The whole screen goes grey and there's a message telling me how the "progress" is going...The updates never go through and then it spends time undoing the "changes" that never went through. It's a total waste of time and it's starting to get rather annoying.

    If I walk away with my computer on, it tries to do this and I lose everything that's open.

    How do I stop this? It's been months now.

    Update fails

    • Computer still trying and failing to update 2 or 3 times a day. I need some suggestions. After start up completes when I turn on the computer in the morning I check the settings update page and it tells me computer is up to date. Then later it starts the
      update for 1709 2 to 3 times a day and all fail and old system is automatically restored.

    Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

    Every day my computer tries to update and it fails.

    KB4025339 Fails Install 0x80070564


    Thanks
    I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

    At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
    Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

    If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

    Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

    I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!
