Windows 10: Various Issues

Hello,


I am having quite a bit of trouble with various things and I am not too sure how to proceed. An overview of my situation:


- Unable to check for updates within the settings app. I am given an error code when I try to check 0x80080005.

- When I click on "Advanced options" or "View update history" the settings app crashes.

- The troubleshooter for Windows updates hangs at checking for pending restart. I have never let it go for more than about 30 minutes.


- I am unable to install apps in the Microsoft store. The install button is either grayed out or simply doesn't do anything, depending on the location. If I am able to manage it starting the download by waiting with a bit of luck if it initially doesn't do anything the download hangs at the Starting download phase with no progress.

- The Microsoft store is unable to detect my hardware Update your device to install this product.

- WSReset.exe hangs, I haven't let it run for more than 30 minutes.


I have spent a lot of time on the forms performing various solutions to the problems above. I have no idea if any of issues could be related. All troubleshooters I have run have come back with no errors BITS, Network adapter, Windows store apps, System Maintenance except the Windows update troubleshooter. I have run SFC and DISM scans, both came back without errors or any changes made. I originally had windows defender disabled, I enabled firewalls and virus protection, and performed everything over again. I attempted to manually reset BITS. I also restarted file explorer, ran disk cleanup, deleted the Windows store cache, as well as reset the store and settings apps through settings. I initially found the issues by attempting to install an app through the store, then one thing led to another looking through the forms and I found everything else.


Right now I have Windows 10 Home version 1909 build 18363.900. I think this is the latest release but I am not sure. The store version is 12006.1001.1.0, again I am not sure if it is the latest.


I hope one of you talented individuals can recommend a solution or solutions. Thanks in advance.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?
