Windows 10: Trying to update Windows 10 on Acer laptop

I am trying to troubleshoot updates for Windows 10 on my Acer laptop computer. I have googled plenty but theres so many issues out there it's hard to figure out which one applies to me.


I have multiple outstanding updates dating back to June 2018. The error code for this update is 0x80240034, i have 8 other updates pending with that same error code.


The other error codes with more recent updates are as follows


Feature update to Windows 10 version 1803 0x8007007e

0x80070652


When i try to install updates, i get to around 56% after a couple of hours and i get anothet error that update couldn't be completed. Error codes as follows


0x80244018

0x8000ffff


I am also unable to reset to factory settings, either by deleting all files or backing up files. I tried this option first since this laptop has given me trouble since the start, so id like to just start off new. Can't seem to get anywhere. Any guidance is definitely appreciated

:)

 

Acer Laptops :are they crap ?

Acer makes a cheap prodcut period. They user lower end plastics, as well as assembly. (I hate working on Acer laptops)

If budget is an issue then get an acer... though for $50 more you could get a gateway that will smoke the acer in terms of quality.

For a laptop though i would suggest one of the DV7T's from HP or a Business class Toshiba/HP/IBM (not the lenovo branded, the Thinkpads)

 

Windows 10

no, you can't go back..
I suggest creating a backup image of your os drive

 

Stalled Acer Laptop in Windows 10 Update

I have just received a Windows 10 update on my laptop (Acer Aspire E 15). I was unable to use it for several hours and then it seemed to revert to normal operation. I checked the updates listing and found that it had been trying 8 - 10 times to install
the updates but all failed. Since I was in the process of having the same updates being installed on my "desktop", which was completed successfully and seems to operate perfectly, I selected a reinstall on my laptop. It is now "permanently" frozen. The fan
starts every 30 seconds, but nothing is happening. This is now over three (3) hours since this problem started. I cannot turn it off. It seems that the "ON/OFF" switch is non-functional. Any suggestions as to what I can or should do? Thank you.
