    Failing Windows 10 Updates for 2+ years now


    Intro:
    - Hello, I've been trying to solve this issue for more than 2 years now. I have previously contacted 2 separate Microsoft support agents via phone which ended in both of them attempting to solve my issue with remote controlling my PC. They both failed and told me there was nothing more they could do. Another year has passed and now I'm here trying to desperately resolve this issue.

    The Issue:
    - I cannot for the life of me perform any Windows updates and some others without them failing.
    - Whatever the issue may be, is also effecting my System & Recovery. I cannot factory reset or repair my pc, whether using System & Recovery or by inserting my original Windows Installation USB.

    What I have to offer:

    - Here are the following errors and what is failing to update.

    0x8007001f

    - Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903



    0x80070643

    - Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903



    0x80246007

    - 2020-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems KB4537762



    0x80240034

    - Intel - Net 12.18.9.20



    0x800703f1

    - Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64 KB4486153

    Closing:
    - Welp, that's all I have to initially offer. If a technician or anyone qualified is able to help address this issue that would be greatly appreciated. Also, sorry for my weird format lol, just trying to keep it clean and direct.

    Thank you, Nick

    :)

    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.

    Windows Updates failed to instal

    I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

    Step 1 Register DLL files.

    =================

    By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



    1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

    2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



    Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



    3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



    Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

    Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

    Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

    Regsvr32 wups2.dll

    Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

    Regsvr32 wups.dll

    Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

    Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

    Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

    Regsvr32 jscript.dll



    Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



    If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



    Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

    =========================================

    1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

    2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

    3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

    4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

    5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

    6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

    7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



    Background Intelligent Transfer Service

    Event Log

    Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



    Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



    If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



    Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

    ===================================

    One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



    1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



    Net stop WuAuServ



    2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

    3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

    4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



    Net start WuAuServ



    Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.
