Windows 10: Windows 10 Update failure + Update Troubleshooter failure - UPDATE

After almost 2 hours, the blue screen cleared and I was able to login to my laptop.However, the Windows 10 Update DOES NOT WORK - I have no idea what the Update Troubleshooter did or didn’t do to my system in the past 2 hours.I still CANNOT Update Windows 10, the latest “2021-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems KB5005033” stops on Installation at 20% and then displays the yellow “Your device is missing important security and quality fixes.” stating that there were some problems installing updates that I should contact support where? I have no idea where to

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

"Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

It was a helpful post. Thanks!

 

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

Have you followed their advice? Install one update at a time and reboot after each one. It's a long process, but if that's the solution, and you want a working laptop, I see no other option.

As for a windows 8.1 iso, it's easy. I literally did this 2 weeks ago to my PC.

EDIT: Also, if you go direct to HP, they actually tell you to go into the BIOS, disabled "Secure boot" run the updates and reboot, and then turn "Secure boot" back on. Have you done as HP suggested?

 

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

Hi. I have a HP laptop model 2000-2C27CL running Windows 8 that I was given because the person cracked the screen. I have removed the bad screen and I am waiting for a replacement screen to be delivered. In the meantime I have hooked this laptop up to a external monitor. I reformatted the computer and get into Windows with no problem. I got all of the driver updates that the HP Update Center said it needed. I then proceed to get updates for the Win8 OS itself.. they download, install, and upon reboot I get the message...

"Failure configuring Windows updates Reverting changes Do not turn off your computer."

So I reformatted the computer again (very time consuming with Win8 IME) and the same thing happens all over again....

"Failure configuring Windows updates Reverting changes Do not turn off your computer."

The first time I reformatted it I let it download every update that was available. The second time I reformatted it I selected just certain updates, NOT all of them. I chose to skip ALL .Net updates because I have seen them give issues in Windows 7 when getting them along with other updates. I still faced the same issue. I am currently in the process of my 3rd reformat job picking the "Minimized Image Recovery" option. This is RIDICULOUS! No wonder people are clinging to Windows XP. Win8 is a disaster! I am trying to fix this computer up to give it away to a 12 year old whose family doesn't have the money to buy her a computer. She needs one to do her school work at home.

This is very frustrating and I am at my wits end. Help with this situation is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
