Windows 10: windows 10 updates will not all install - error on 3 and wants to reboot constantly, but...

error: 0x800f0845


2020-10 Cumulative .NET frame 3.5 & 4.8


2020-10 Sec. Adobe Flash


2020-10 Cum. Windows 10 Version 1903 x64


I have been receiving this since I updated in Nov 2020. I have also run sfc/scannow to attempt to fix


I am at a loss as to what to do. Many things no longer work as they did before. I also cannot download updates to TurboTax, etc.


Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Windows 10 Tweaks

How to stop Windows 10 from automatically installing new and updated drivers constantly (particularly for GPU users with stable drivers)

• Right click "My Computer"
• Click "Properties"
• Click on "Hardware" tab
• Click "Device Installation Settings"
• Tick the "No, let me choose what to do"
• Tick "Never install driver software from Windows Update"

 

Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

 

FIXED!! Windows 7 sp1 never ends searching for updates

Ok I did another reboot, disabled windows update service, did step 3 again, this time it installed an update, enabled windows update service and did a reboot and voila!! *Peace eace:
