Windows 10: I haven't been able to update Windows 10 in almost 4 months

Everything seems to update normally, then my computer restarts. It then says that it was unable to update and that it's undoing the changes.


About 2 months ago, I did a deep dive and tried every solution I could find and nothing would fix this. On top of that, I uninstalled my VPN and 3rd party firewall software. Reset my firewall settings and then still had no success. This is my first time in 2 years as a new Windows user that I'm posting to this forum.


The error code is 0x800705aa - Let me know what other information you need and I'll supply it

:)

 

Notifocation of W-10 update genuine? Freezes computer, can"t verify.

Can you or anyone suggest a way to remove the virus? Haven;t been able to enter safe mode. I did trya windows repair program called system restore, which failed at two restore points.

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
