    Windows update not working


    I keep getting this message on win 10 pro update. We were unable to check for updates because one or more critical system services are unavailable. Just upgraded from win home. I've tried troubleshooting and sfc /scannow and they both tell me that the problem has been fixed, but it's still there.

    Any ideas. Also brand new machine.

    Thanks,

    Peter

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Windows update not working

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Windows update not working :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
