Windows 10: Notification: Can't install updates. Select this message to fix. What?

Windows shows Can't install updates. Select this message to fix.

Is there a way to figure out what Windows will be fixing should I decide to 'fix' it?

Thanks.

Can't Install Updates. Click this Message to Fix Synaptics-Pointing Drawing-Synaptics PS/2 Touchpad

I found that it has to do with UAC. When I had to install separate drivers, I had the same issue.

Go into UAC (User Account Control Settings) and move the slider all the way down (Note where it is to reset it after the update)

Open Task Manager and scroll down for "Consent" End the process for any Consent.exe that you see.

Go back into windows update (You should see the Install button now is available). Click it and watch the updates happen. After your updates are installed, then go back into UAC and reset the slider to it's original position.

Hope this helps

I did not get an error code, however, I went to the link you gave me and found a driver update for Synaptics. I've installed that so, hopefully, that resolves the issue.

Thanks

 

Hi!

I found only this from Microsoft:

Thanks. When doing a search for just "Can't install updates." here on Tenforums, a lot of hits show up, but I haven't found 1 solution as to _what_ exactly cannot be installed. Maybe, when 'fixing' this via Windows, I may be installing something I don't want.

At best there is a workaround by from TairikuOkami in the thread "Choose when to install updates? " see Choose when to install updates? - Windows 10 Forums
A similar search but "Choose what to install' = no hits.

I think Microsoft needs to improve that part and at least add name of developer and product description.
