    Updates remain after Windows Reset?


    Has anyone ever heard of using Windows Reset feature to remove everything... Yet once complete, you go to Control Panel > See Installed Updates... And there are several updates there?


    I have a Win 10 laptop 1803.. did a Reset and thats what im seeing. I don't have Restore features on.


    How can updates remain AFTER a full reset? Even stranger is the Installed Date shows Todays date and the computer is not hooked up to the internet.


    And yes, I'm choosing the Erase everything option.


    Im almost certain there is no security issues / virus.. but i can't figure out how this is happening. I've never performed a reset and saw updates remaining. Four updates are for adobe and thr rest are KBs.

    :)

  2. 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.

    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 Updates remain after Windows Reset? :) Best regards.


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

    The Users list compared to the Profile list you posted earlier tell me there is not an issue with Users (a known issue where there is a profile in the list, but not actual User folder).

    The error code suggests corruption in the CBS manifest:
