Windows 10: Unable to update Windows 10 or reset PC

Error 0x800706ba


2019-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4493441) - Error 0x800706ba


Hello, I've run into a problem where I'm unable to update windows or reset/refresh my PC.

Every time I try to reset/refresh my PC, it fails and undo changes when the PC restarts.


Here are the things that I have already tried to do to remedy the problem but failed


1) Run Windows Troubleshooter

2) Run SFC scan

3) Run DISM tool (Remote Procedure call failed)

4) Reset Windows Update Component (access is denied when renaming software distribution & Catroot2 folder)

5) Trying to reset/refresh PC

6) Restarting DHCP client in task explorer

Unable to reset the pc

Hello,

If you are having that message while trying to reset your computer, We suggest you to create an installation media for Windows 10 using Media
Creation Tool and perform a Reset.

Once the installation media is created, follow the steps below:

• Insert the installation media you created, and then restart your PC.
• On the Install Windows screen, select Repair your computer.
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot. From there, you can use Safe Mode. Select
  Advanced Options >Reset This PC>Remove everything.
• After the reset is complete, check for status.

Give us an update on what happens.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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.
