Windows 10: Windows 10 Update 1803 Fails Repeatedly each fail looses me a working day!

I am using Windows 10 Home which I bought on the basis that MS would manage my installs and as a "Home" user I would 'not have to worry about anything'. I have now lost 2 working days because this update will not install, twice! MSs on-screen advice said it would take some time, too true, 2 days later and my error code is "Last failed install attempt on ‎24/‎07/‎2018 - 0x8007042b". I am not a techie so please keep any advice simple, I just want the machine I bought new last month for work - I am in construction - and I just need it to work: securely and efficiently - which it aint doing now.

I just did step one and they have just all installed.... thank you so much.... it was quite frustrating having that update window pop up every 5 minutes and failing to instal every time

Thanks mate

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
