Windows 10: Windows 10 won't update after factory re-install

Hello all,

Today I had to do a reinstall to fix some things (it didn't fix them lol) so now I'm stuck. Windows 10 will not update. I get the error code 0x80240442 after a while. I'm not sure if its an issue with my drivers not being updated, but all of the web pages I have found that have this error code won't open. Not even the Microsoft pages, including hotmail. I searched this forum for an answer (because it was the only one that opened) and the only thread I found didn't come to a conclusion. So here I am, asking if somebody can help me solve this.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:
Under Advanced Options and Update History, there have been no updates.

Latest Windows 10 update and Problems with NVIDIA GeForce using 3 Displays

After updating Windows 10, the NVIDIA control panel will not work. It crashes even after uninstalling and re-installing the drivers. This worked yesterday but after the latest update it won't work. Any suggestions?

 

Factory Reset, keep Windows 10

After a Factory Restore the system partition looks exactly as it looked when the machine left the factory. Was Windows 10 there at that stage? . . .

You can download Windows 10 after the Win8 Factory Restore and re-install it freely.

Other things you can try:
◦Disable (preferrably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before attempting the upgrade.
◦Restart a few times and try again.
◦Disable General USB Devices (example - Smart Card Reader).
◦Do a clean boot and try again.
◦If you are upgrading using the .ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during setup, if you are connected by LAN (Ethernet) or Wi-Fi, disable both and attempt setup again.
◦If you are updating through Windows Update, when the download reaches 100% disconnect from the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or Wi-Fi and proceed with the installation.
◦If that does not work, try using the .ISO file to upgrade if possible. (not possible with this build)
◦If you are connected to a domain, switch to a local account
◦If you have any external devices attached to the machine, disconnect them (example, USB keys, gaming controllers, external hard disc, printers, non-essential devices).
