    KB4592438 Stuck via WU


    Once again WU giving me issues. I did an in place upgrade to 20H2 last month.

    Figured I'd see where this months updates were and I can see its trying to install KB4592438 through WU at least since yesterday. It has been at 75%, stayed that way overnight. Its messing up the whole computer, everything slow or non functional.

    What do I do?

    :)

    Can't fix WU Error

    I don't have Macrium and I prefer not to run third party tools. So yes I have done the usual suggestions.

    SFC
    DISM
    Reset WU

    Windows 10 fails to update


    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.

    Stuck in Windows 10 Upgrade

    My computer seems to be stuck in a Windows 10 failed upgrade loop. I was running fine on a beta version of Windows 10, and then I came downstairs one morning to see it repeatedly booting, attempting to repair, then rebooting. The steps I've taken to diagnose are:

    • Attempting to boot off a USB drive (with all drives disabled in BIOS) - this fails at the point of the blue windows screen
    • Attempting to boot the machine itself and getting into "repair/safe mode" using F7
    • Looking at the BIOS for obvious failures (e.g. RAM that should be there is missing) - nothing obvious is wrong.

    I am fairly certain the build version was 9926. For many months, the system would attempt to upgrade, and then say "it failed" for some reason and roll back.

    Suggestions for next steps?
