    Hi Marianne,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    As you are facing issues with installing the updates, do let us know the following to assist you better:

    • Were you able to see any error notification along with the error code?
    • What is the make and model of your device?
