    KB4013429 Failing to install.

    I have followed the instructions listed in the link you have provided but received several errors along the way.

    Step 3 produced a path not found error

    I first attempted these instructions without step 4 as indicated, the overall outcome was the same.

    On my second attempt I carried out step 4

    On step 5 I received a few errors when trying to re-register dll's:

    - regsvr32.exe atl.dll - pass

    - regsvr32.exe urlmon.dll - Pass
    - regsvr32.exe mshtml.dll - loaded but entry point not found

    - regsvr32.exe wuwebv.dll - Failed to load - Not Found

    After this I went to windows update and clicked search for updates which proceeded to download and install updates, after being prompted for a reboot the update fails again which appears to be the same as the initial error.

    Any other suggestions? I really don't want to have to re-format my PC again.

  3. 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.

    KB4025339 Fails Install 0x80070564

    Thanks
    I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

    At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
    Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

    If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

    Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

    I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!
