    Windows 10 wont update

    Have you tried the second step?

    Win 10 Update Database Corruption Solved - Windows 10 Forums

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.

    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
