Shit, I used some doohickey to disable Win Store and remove some apps after installing Win 10 - now this update keeps failing to install.

 

Failed version 1809 update

Hi TimothyBuell,

I'm Stefano an Independent Advisor, here to help you.

Auto update search the first release on a newer version so, if you check, you find that it is trying to download and install Windows 10 1809 as it was on December (first working version of Windows 1809). But your version is actually supported and updated, so
you have Windows 10 1803 updated as February 2019. Once installed Windows 10 1809 as it was on December, the system will auto download and install all the updates released until now. That's way you see a difference in time when comparing 1803 to 1809.

In order to install Windows 10 1809 on your device I would suggest you to follow this procedure:

1. Type "cmd" in windows search bar

2. Right click on "Command Prompt"

3. Select "Run as Administrator"

4. Type "sfc /scannow" without quote and press ENTER

Then:

1. Open "File Explorer"

2. Click on "This PC"

3. Right click on "C:"

4. Click on "Proprieties"

5. Click on "Clean-up disk"

6. Click on "Clean up system files"

7. Select every option in the list, but not "Download"

8. Click on "OK"

Then:

1. Type "Powershell" in Windows search bar

2. Right click on "Powershell"

3. Click on "Run as Administrator"

4. Type :

"net stop wuauserv" without quotes and press ENTER.

"net stop cryptSvc" without quotes and press ENTER.

"net stop bits" without quotes and press ENTER.

"net stop msiserver" without quotes and press ENTER.

"Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old" without quotes and press ENTER.

"Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old" without quotes and press ENTER.

"net start wuauserv" without quotes and press ENTER.

"net start cryptSvc" without quotes and press ENTER.

"net start bits" without quotes and press ENTER.

"net start msiserver" without quotes and press ENTER.

At this point, search for updates in Windows Update and see if you can install Windows 10 1809.

If also this fails, I suggest you to use Windows Update Assistant to update to the newer version of Windows 10. You can download it from :

Please let me know if that solves your problem or if you need more help.
