@PDragon, Hi!

Did you download the Macrium app and install it?

What type of external drive do you have that hooks up to your laptop? How big? We need some info, please, on the size of your laptop drive and your external drive. OK?

 

@PDragon, please respond. We are trying to help, but cannot without your input and answers. Do you still need help?

 

What external drive???

 

Is the only drive you have the one inside your laptop? How big is it? An external drive is one you can hook up to your laptop using the USB port and do backups.

 

@PDragon It's getting late. Do you want to continue this at some other time, or do something else? I can't do anything for you if I can't get answers. You need to help me if you want me to help you. Tell me now if you want to continue this process or quit. Please.

 

@PDragon..................... I'm waiting... but not for much longer

 

Tomcat - I see that you're guiding PDragon towards a Repair install.

I don't want to hijack this thread or send PDragon down another path. I'm only wondering if a different tack would help
- fixing Windows Update /Component store

Here's what I would offer - I'm sure the Repair install would do the trick, it's just the prep might be daunting for PDragon.


Is Windows activated?


Launch Command Prompt (Admin)
enter the following line
reg query HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /s
If DisableWindowsUpdateAccess REG_DWORD 0x1

launch regedit
navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
change the value of DisableWindowsUpdateAccess to 0
exit regedit
exit Command Prompt

Launch Windows Update

Launch Windows Update

 

Sorry, I cant do it. It seems too risky...

 

I put in the regedit code, launched Wndows Update.. and it said:

Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3173428).

Is that it?

 

That is this update:
Servicing stack update for Windows 10 Version 1511: July 12, 2016

Go ahead and update all that are offered, if you need to ask me about every KB update, this will take a very long time.

You can look up any others if you are curious. Replace 3173428 in the address below with the KB #

Bill, if he can get up to 10586.494, I believe the problem with getting .net 3.5 thru Programs and Features should work. They (MS) fixed that back in the earlier Cum Update this year.

 

What do I do after the update is installed?

Guys, I think it worked.

After I installed the update, I tried to install NET Framework 3.5, and this displayed 5 minutes later:

Thanks for all of the suggestions. All I had to do was what Slartybart said. Put in the reg code, install updates, get NET framework.

 

I <3 you all. This problem has been fixed. Also, f14tomcat, you said I would install .NET Framework flawlessly if I get the update.

Thanks both of you. This application is now closed.
