Windows 10: Windows is stuck in old 2017 update and wont let me do anything about it.

Let me preface this with everything I have tried and by saying that I am not COMPLETELY tech savvy:

-I have scanned for malware several times. -I have tried going into CMD and doing the scan thing to find registry errors, and that failed. -I have tried to contact microsoft and have recieved no help. -I have tried resetting windows entirely and it fails. -I have tried buying a whole new SSD and tried to install windows onto that, and it will instantly restart after the second windows splash.

My problem started quite a few years back. I noticed that windows didn't want to update. My pc would turn on, it would prepare the update, get to 56% and then say it failed and would restart. It would do this loop about 5 times before it would just start up normally. At first this was a minor issue, and figured it was just a borked update from windows and that id just get the next one.

A good couple years back I upgraded my hardware. New mobo, ram, gpu, cpu. Essentially an entirely new computer, minus my boot drive. And I know this can mess with the windows key, but at the time I'm fairly sure i solved that and had it authenticate for a bit.

Well, sure as shit, the update issue continues for a while, and of course, I'm partly to blame for leaving it this long. I get that. But within the last year, ive noticed stranger things happening now. My internet will randomly stop working during even a slight load on it. But ONLY my pc will do this, all other devices in the house are fine and dandy. It fixes itself after a few minutes, or if I use the troubleshooter. But the problem tends to persist every 5-10 minutes. I checked my windows activation section and now it says it is "unable to reach windows activation servers"

So obviously my first thought is malware or a virus. But i have scanned every drive multiple times and nothing comes up.

I decided to just give up and get a new drive and create a new windows usb. Took out all my old drives and slapped in a brand new 500gb ssd after partitioning it and got my usb stick. Booted from it and the windows logo showed up, then a basic blank screen with a command line blinking for a moment, and then a second windows splash for a moment before it rebooted. And it did this in a loop.

I dont know what i'm doing wrong here but my forehead is getting sore from banging my head against the wall. Anyone willing to help this idiot out?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

Microsoft Visual 2017 C++ msi wont install.

Hi,

Software conflicts are one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. Based on the error message you provided, an older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 is blocking the installation. We suggest uninstalling Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 from the control
panel before trying to install the new MS Visual 2017. Follow the steps below:

• Open Control Panel.
  
• Click Programs, then click Programs and Features.
  
• Locate Microsoft Visual 2017 C++, then click Uninstall.
  

After uninstalling the program, try to install Microsoft Visual 2017 C++ again.

Get back to us with the outcome so we can help you further.
