Windows 10: Unable to update Edge

Hi,


We have a security policy at work which disallows manual Windows updates. Internal IT say that they're unable to force it for me. However we have a client who has an issue which I cannot reproduce and the only difference is that I am on an old version of Edge (from 2017), so I really need to update it ASAP in order to rule out browser version as the cause.


Is there any way that I can update Edge without using Windows Update?


Kind regards,

Richard

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
