Windows 10: Finding and fixing a broken update on Windows 10

I'm running a machine with an AMD processor (stuff I've found online indicated that might be important). There is some sort of update that's been trying to install 3x a week for a month now that is broken. It boots, comes to the blue screen with the , reboots, and repeats. Eventually it comes to the "we don't know what to do" screen, I can boot into safe mode w/ networking and it will remove the broken update. The problem is this keeps happening and I can't get any other updates.

So how do I go about figuring out which update is broken and remove it from the chain? There doesn't seem to be a list of updates like there have been in previous versions of windows.

Yeah, I've been noting it for months on the refusenik thread. They do NOT want anything older than 10 running.

I still have an HTPC on W7, and every other month I have to fix the update agent in order to get all updates. SMH....

You provided a good step by step fix. I've bookmarked it for future reference.
