Windows 10: Windows 10 can't update system reserved partition; my system reserved partition is empty.

Hi,


Trying to eliminate the freezing up problem with Windows 10. Recently noticed a key update KB3176938 has not been loaded to my system. In the settings, tried to update but got the message "Can't update the system reserved partition." OK, so poked around in Microsoft and found where the system reserved partition was; unfortunately, when I look at properties of this partition (it's an NFTS) it seems the partition is empty. Huh? Tried to use the disc error check and the optimize drive tools under properties but neither worked. Help?


I have a Dell XPS 8700 with an i7 processor and 24gb of RAM. The C: drive is a solid state Samsung 840 Pro 256gb.


I know you must be tired of this freezing problem, but thanks for you help.
