Windows 10: Windows 1809 Update fails.

Hi,


My Toshiba Satellite P55t won't install the 1809 update. Multiple automatic updates have failed. When I try to update via the manual Windows update tool, here's what happens:

• After the initial phase, the system reboots normally.
• In the next phase (without the Desktop), the upgrade goes to about 40%, and then the screen starts to flash out to black, and then back, and then out again.
• This goes on for a couple of minutes, and then the upgrade just hangs completely at 42%. I have to power off and on to get the laptop back. The update is rolled back successfully after the reboot.
• The last attempt gave me this error after the reboot/recovery. 0xC1900101-0x30018.

I've run the Windows Update Troubleshooter multiple times and also "sfc /scannow" also, with no improvement. I don't have a third party virus removal app.


I have a latent issue with my machine l that could potentially be related. This laptop has dual video cards - the Intel 4600, and an AMD Radeon R9 M265X. A couple of years ago I was having a lot of issues with the computer, and after much trial and error, discovered that the problems were related to the Radeon. I don't need that video card, and didn't want to pay for a repair. So, I simply disabled it. Problem fixed. The laptop has been trouble-free since.. until now.


Could the 1809 update problem be a result of the Radeon being disabled, or possibly because the Radeon is not functioning? How can I isolate this to be sure? Please advise which log file(s) I should review and potentially post.


And the best question of all, how do I resolve this?


Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

:)

Windows Updates failed to instal

I'm not sure how differant XP media center Edition is but you could clear the history \ cache if these folders are there.

Step 1 Register DLL files.

=================

By trying this step, we can check if the update engines are working properly.



1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.

2. Click Start and Run, type "Regsvr32 atl.dll" (without quotes) in the Open box and click OK.



Note: There is a space between regsvr32 and atl.dll



3. Similarly, one by one, register the files listed below:



Regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Regsvr32 wuapi.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

Regsvr32 wups2.dll

Regsvr32 wucltui.dll

Regsvr32 wups.dll

Regsvr32 wuweb.dll

Regsvr32 qmgr.dll

Regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

Regsvr32 jscript.dll



Note: If you encounter errors while registering any of these files then skip that file and continue with the next one.



If the issue persists, let's move on to the steps below to verify Windows Update services and temporary folders.



Step 2 Verify the relevant Windows Update services.

=========================================

1. Click Start->Run, type "services.msc" (without quotation marks) in the open box and click OK.

2. Double click the service "Automatic Updates".

3. Click on the Log On tab, please ensure the option "Local System account" is selected and the option "Allow service to interact with desktop" is unchecked.

4. Check if this service has been enabled on the listed Hardware Profile. If not, please click the Enable button to enable it.

5. Click on the tab "General "; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the button "Stop" under "Service Status" to stop the service.

6. Then please click the button "Start" under "Service Status" to start the service.

7. Please repeat the above steps with the other services:



Background Intelligent Transfer Service

Event Log

Remote Procedure Call (RPC)



Note: Event log service is enabled on all of the hardware profiles; this service does not have an option to enable or disable on certain hardware profile.



If it still does not help, let's proceed to step 3.



Step 3 Reload the Update temporary folders.

===================================

One possible cause is that the temporary folder for Windows Update is containing corrupted files. Let's erase all the files there to get the system clean.



1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net stop WuAuServ



2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.

3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.

4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following command in the opened window.



Net start WuAuServ



Please test the Windows Update website and let me know the result. If the issue persists, to clarify the issue and provide more accurate troubleshooting steps, please assist me in collecting the following information.

When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.
