Windows 10: Windows 10 Update keeps causing me problems

I've gone through 4 Windows 10 for home updates, each one progressively more harmful. The 1st one took about 6 hours to fail and undo changes, the next one took about 8 hours to fail and undo changes, the next took 8 hours to fail and leave Windows broken, which I could fix by rolling back the last quality update, and the final one which I used the Windows update tool and was promised would leave my system running if update failed took 8 hours and left me broken where I had to Reset PC and lose all my apps. I've now disabled the Windows Update service. Does Microsoft provide any way to get the latest version with all the patches without going through this 6-8 hour broken process, which to me seems worse than most viruses?

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

Windows Update keeps failing!

Hi,

I had once a similar issue like yours, i.e. not able to update Windows 7. What I did to solve the problems is:

- go to control panel, then to "Troubleshouting" > "System and Security" > "Fix problems with Windows update" > click "Advanced" > choose "Apply repairs automatically".

And Windows will start detecting the issues and will repair "Windows update components". The problems should be fixed now, close the program, restart the PC, and see if the mentioned steps have fixed the problems you mentioned.

Hope it works for you.

Good luck!
