    Windows 10 Laptop stuck in update upto 3 hours then rollsback update

    @zbook,

    I am slightly confused by the results.
    As suggested by you, I performed clean boot in Windows 10
    In msconfig, chose Selective startup and unchecked "Load Startup items". Then under Services tab after hiding all Microsoft services, I disabled all services. Then in startup tab I disabled all startup tasks and restarted my Laptop. Once it booted I went to settings ->Windows update and clicked on "Check for updates" and then it gave a couple of updates like "2021-01 Windows update for Windows 10 v 1909" , "Update for removal of Adobe flash player.." and asked it to run the updates.
    So it ran the updates and restarted again. And I see in the update history as shown in below screen shot that those 2 updates are applied with todays timestamp 5/22/21

    However on the Windows update screen it still shows "You are NOT up to date. Your device is missing important security and quality fixes" as shown in below screenshot.
    If I click on "Check for Updates" nothing comes up now and it keeps saying "You are NOT uptodate your device is missing important security and quality fixes" I tried restarting a few more times and it says the same thing.

    Also if I click the Start->Power icon, there are only 2 Options as shown in below screenshot. "Update and shut down" and "Update and restart".

    So can you please advise what this signifies and how do I proceed from here and what are the next steps because I am confused if it already applied all the updates or it is not able to apply the updates .
    Appreciate your help.

    Thanks

    I am sorry, can you please clarify this which you have mentioned in your reply ?

    (1) What do you want me to do with this link
    setupdiag: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...rade/setupdiag

    (2) And what is V2: BSOD for. Is it connected to above setupdiag step ?

    (3) Is Upgrade_failure_info.bat the 3rd step you want me to run after above V2:BSOD step ?

    (4) PS2 Logs: Is this the 4th step to perform after upgrade_failure_info.bat step ?

    thanks

  3. Windows 10 updates stuck at 91% for 7 hours

    Microsoft was of no help to me at all (yet again). Pointing at others, in this case 3rd party antivirus software is a typical attempt to hide their own incompetence.

    Another few hours of productivity lost thanks to Microsoft!

    Here's what worked for me: Windows Update stuck downloading updates in Windows 11/10
