Windows 10: Windows 10 doesn't update

The following is a list of what has transpired to date....Since I haven't had a reply I'll try again.... See the following.


Original Message

Other Devices - Drivers for this device are not installed

When I access Device Manager>Other devices there is a coprocessor listed with a yellow triangle . When I open the the properties for this coprocessor, the following message is present "The drivers for this device are not installed. Code 28. There are no compatible drivers for this device. To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."

I have tried uninstalling device, disabling device, updating driver and scanning for new hardware to no avail, multiple times. I am currently using Windows 10 Pro and have gone to Update & Security> Settings>Troubleshoot>Hardware and Devices, and ran that, also with the same result.

I keep getting messages that I need to update to Windows 10 version 1909 but after 2 weeks of daily trying to update the PC, it uninstalls after approximately 60% installed +/-.

It appears that I either have issues with my ASUS M3N72-D motherboard with an AMD Phenom ii X4 955 processor video hardware driver or another driver associated with hardware on the board. Does Microsoft updates include updates for this hardware? Please check code. I can not download drivers from ASUS or AMD because every time I try, I get sent to the Microsoft store. I can not get out of S mode, when I go to Update & Security>Settings>Activation there is no link to Microsoft Store. When I try to run an executable file downloaded for driver updates I receive the following message: "You are unable to switch out of S Mode on this version of Microsoft Store."


Please provide a patch that will update the drivers needed for version 1909 updates.

Hi Skurski. I'm XXX, awarded MVP for eleven years, Volunteer Moderator, and Independent Advisor here to help you until this is resolved.

If it's telling you that you cannot switch out of S mode by the normal method here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/445606... then go into Microsoft Store app, choose the Hub three dots at top right and then Downloads/Updates to see if you can Update the store as well as all apps at once. Then see if you can switch out of S mode.

If not then we need to get your version Upgraded. To do this I would manually upgrade to the latest version by creating the latest installation media from Media Creation Tool, follow the steps toward the bottom of the download page here in the section "Using the tool to create installation media:"
https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/software-downlo...

Open the media in Explorer, or double click the ISO file to Mount it, right click Setup to Run as Administrator. Steps here: https://www.yourwindowsguide.com/2016/06/how-to...

This saves your files, apps and most settings in place while upgrading to the latest version by the most stable method.

If any problems report back the verbatim error and number, then continue with these steps for overcoming Version Upgrade problems: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Most problems are also resolved by doing this gold standard Clean Install which should get you past all difficulties as it has millions of others who have followed the steps in this link and never come back to report another problem: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki... . So read it over and see if its something you want to learn to do.

Once you can switch out of S mode go to the PC or motherboard maker's Support Downloads web page to pull in all of the drivers which are newer or branded and not generic, comparing to those installed now in Device Manager. The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is how to keep the latest manufacturer's drivers current. Windows drivers are rarely enough.


I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you will wait to rate my post, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

I performed the steps and upon installing the Media Creation Tool, my PC went into an automatic Windows update.

To make a long story short, after attempting to install Windows Pro the following message appeared:" We couldn't install Windows 10. We've set your PC back to the way it was right before you started installing Windows 10 0xC1900101- 0x30018

The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation.

What's the next step based on the message received?

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

 

Scanner doesn´t work anymore after last Windows 10 update

As many people on the internet already are discussing, their scanner doesn´t work anymore after the last Windows update. But there seem to be no solution.

My Scanner starts making noises, as usual, and then i get error messages: "Communication with the scanner is not possible"
or this




Is there a workaround for that?

I dunno.

Re-install the TWAIN drivers? (They are not included in Windows.)

You might get a better answer if you gave the make and model of the scanner.
