    fail to install because of the space in userprofile name


    Hi,The first time of years since I start using my laptop, I met an error when installing an app. After some research, it turns out that the error appears bc of my userprofile name contains white space. I have already know that the white space in the name is hated since I have to deal with another error before, but this time is worse.to prevent the same errors occur next time, I tried to change that profile name via registry key, but it turns my laptop to a, like, new user acc instead of the old profile, and everything I set up lost, so I rolled back to "white-space-name" one.But I still want t

    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!
