    Failing Win10 update, how to obtain info on WHAT is failing?


    Hi all! Every time Windows 10 Home decides it is time for a forced upgrade of my OS (currently on the 1709 version) I have the same nightmare. The upgrade eventually fails with the message that some windows component is not compatible. After a lot of work last year I managed to get it to upgrade to 1709. Now I am fighting with my machine with 1803. I have tried it all: clean boot, running command line functions to analyse and fix windows database, renaming my update folder (as a way to have it start fresh), removing all peripherals during the upgrade, upgrading directly from the internet to have a fresh upgrade media. Nothing seems to work. I have now downloaded a third party software that disables Windows Update so I can get some peace from the constant upgrade attempts. But of course I would rather have the updates for security and bug fixes.

    So, instead of asking for a how to upgrade, I would here like to ask if someone could walk me through a way to find out exactly what component(s) the upgrade is complaining about, so that I could possibly find a work around or a fix for it. I think it is a huge oversight on Microsoft's part to not make the error messages more descriptive.

    Thanks for any help!

    :)

    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.

    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!
