    How Can I Determine Why Upgrades Faail


    Hi. I'm currently running Win10 v1909 (OS Build 18363.959). For many months now, when I check for updates, there's a message stating one is available. So I go through the long download/install and get to "restart required." I do the restart and notice it seems to try a few times, finally booting up but with an "update failed" (not giving me a clue of what failed.)

    How do I figure out the problem so I can fix it?

    :)
