If so, run the Windows Update troubleshooter to see if it may report anything to help more.

Let's reset Windows Update using the .bat file in the tutorial below to see if that can fix the remaining issues with Windows Update.

Afterwards, give "Check for updates" a try in Windows Update to see what it does for you now. *Smile

 

Apologies for the last post

Here is the report

Bob M

 

Sorry..............but I have got something wrong...............

I looked at the Update History and realized that the small update I said was successful was NOT *Sad

I have downloaded the .bat file and run as administrator..........

Cannot reset Windows Update since "Windows Update" (wuauserv) service failed to stop.

Press any key to continue...........

Then a few lines and whoof - it closes

Bob M

 

That's ok Bob.

See if you may be able to manually stop the "Windows Update" service, and then try the .bat file again to reset. If needed, you may need to restart the computer and try again to stop the service.

*Arrow Start, Stop, and Disable Services in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials

 

Hi

Manually stopped the wuauserv service OK

Ran the .bat file as administrator

4 services stopped

successfully flushed the DNS Resolver cache

deleted 2 .dat files
could not find CrogramData/Microsoft/Network/Downloader/qmgr*.dat
deleted 16 .et1 files

it hung for a while and then

2 access denieds

and whoosh - gone

will now try and upload again

Bob M

 

It sounds like the .bat file successfully ran to reset Windows Update. Be sure you restart the computer immediately afterwards though.

 

Hi

have tried to manually stop auaserv service
then ran the .bat file
then apply the very first basic single update KB4077525

but it always shows as 'failed to install'

producing the report again - still shows unfixed error

Bob M

 

What is the unfixed error?

 

I was referring to the Potential Windows Update Database error detected not fixed at the beginning of the report

 

If you like, you might see if a repair install may be able to fix Windows without having to do a Reset or Refresh.

Afterwards, see what the troubleshooter reports. If all checks out, hopefully Windows Update will get you updated.
