Windows 10: Reset Windows Update in Windows 10

It would've been nice to be able to use it, instead of a physical calculator for math classes but I guess I'll use the old ways. :-(

 

You could also reset or refresh Windows 10 that should fix them, but it's a bit extreme for just two apps.

Refresh Windows 10

Reset Windows 10

 

Hi Brink I will like to join the others in saying thank you very much for all your help. My Esset32 kept telling me that my pc was not up to date and that is when I noticed the issue 3 days ago. I took me that long to stumble onto this post. after booting in safe mode and with your bat file I was able to restart and solved the issue.

Very much appreciated, all updates are now ready to install and the pc is already asking me to reboot to complete the task.

cheers

 

You're most welcome Killer128, and welcome to Ten Forums. I'm glad it was able to help. *Smile

 

G'Day Brink,

Can this 'bat' file run from Powershell- as Admin.?

 

Hello Lensmen, *Smile

Yes, you could run the .bat file from PowerShell as well.

 

Hi Shawn,

Just tried the process and the bat file is taking quite a while to complete. Is this normal?

It took about 10 minutes in all.

Not Shawn,but is it stuck on stopping some service or any other point?

 

The bat file got stuck at a point where 2 similar issues were attended to and then sat there for about 8 minutes before continuing. After restarting the PC, the Update History was cleared. However the troublesome HP printer driver update that triggered me running the bat file in the first place is still causing the issue I have.

I have got an idea. Is it not possible for a log file to be created when the bat file runs for diagnostic purposes?

PS checking the reliability monitor, I see that Windows Explorer stopped responding and was closed.

Hello Geoff, *Smile

Did you download and use the current .bat file in the tutorial?

It includes built-in checks that should automatically stop the .bat if it's unable to stop a service, and give you an error message stating what service failed to stop.

The .bat file doesn't stop explorer, so something else is causing an issue with that. If it stopped while the .bat was running, it could possible cause it to hang.

 

Yes I went to the tutorial and downloaded the version of the bat file .
