    Laptop running Windows 10 refuses to update


    Hi all,



    I have an HP Envy running Windows 10, but I have stopped using it for a while since I repaired my desktop PC. I have started using it again since I am going to be away from my desktop for a while but it refuses to update at all.

    This continuously comes up on my PC, and I'm unable to use external storage since I don't own any. So I deleted as much as I can from what it suggested and...

    ... every time I refresh it goes up?! I deleted so much, and also I'm sure this is more than enough space for the update. Laptop running Windows 10 refuses to update 6f982bab-e58c-4ca2-9adb-fd0676bc970e?upload=true.png

    Currently, I have Windows Update trying to update things but I think last time I tried that it just stopped working and never updated. It also tells me often that the PC has no updates and then tries to update again.

    I'll update this once I see where Windows Update gets to, but does anyone have any idea why it's doing this? My PC hasn't been updated since I think 2019 autumn so... It's really out of date lol.


    Thanks :-

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Laptop running Windows 10 refuses to update

    Laptop running Windows 10 keeps freezing

    Hi,

    Since you already tried several troubleshooting steps, such us running a hardware diagnostic test on all hardware components, checked the system files, updated all drivers, and as well the BIOS, then this is perhaps an issue with the laptop itself. Now,
    to isolate what is causing performance issues on your laptop, we suggest that you perform a factory reset, then check if it's the same. To perform the suggest step, please refer to this article:

    Recovery options in Windows 10.

    If the issue persists after performing the suggested step, contact the laptop manufacturer to have it replaced.

    Let us know the outcome.
