Windows 10: Windows 10 update errors what do they mean and why is it so difficult fix them

Like most of you I have had my own share of problems and errors with Windows over the years, however I have usually found that by looking through the logs and finding the problem a simple solution could be found to correct the problem using the cmd line to copy files/hives. Not so with Windows 10, it would seem a tool has been created to do everything apart from use the IT skills we have.

Everywhere on the forums people are asking what do all these error codes mean, sure it is great that their problems are being fixed, but it would be far better if in the future they could do it themselves and then pass the knowledge on.



How are you finding working with Windows 10 especially when it goes wrong

FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

Yeah, I've been noting it for months on the refusenik thread. They do NOT want anything older than 10 running.

I still have an HTPC on W7, and every other month I have to fix the update agent in order to get all updates. SMH....

You provided a good step by step fix. I've bookmarked it for future reference.
