Windows 10: Windows Update -- Something went wrong. Try to reopen Settings later

After mistakenly applying recent recommended Windows updates, system is now unstable:1. Can NOT open a folder in File Explorer--receive infamous "Not Responding" message;2. No longer able to save files to C:\--receive "You are not permitted to save files to this location...";3. Excessive hard drive activity going on, even if there are NO applications running;4. Can NOT open Windows Update--receive "Something went wrong. Try to reopen Settings later";Since I am now unable to open the Windows Update--I am unable to undo the recent "update"

:)

 

Win Update: Something went wrong. Try to reopen Settings later.

Again, thank you for your reply.


Had you used the MajorGeeks site I gave you per your request, the download should have been fairly easy.

If you don't like that either, then for your future reference, Softpedia.com is another reliable host site for many good programs.

And of course, if you don't like those, you can use Google to find more download options.

When I've suggested this program in other threads, people typically haven't had difficulty running it.

First boot to Safe Mode.
Then run the program.
Then work through options



Getting started/1/2/3/4

- these are sensible steps and basic checks.
- if you are sufficiently confident, you can skip 1 or more.

Then Backup Tools - if you wish e.g. to create a Restore Point.
Then Repairs Main, Open Repairs - and select only the repair you want. (Windows Update).

Have you considered reading the Help file?

 

"Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later" In windows updates.

The issue is Windows Store's apps and games couldn't update with the addition of windows update tab only reading out "Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later." I have searched on solutions but none are similar to my situation. Any word back would be appreciated! I am thinking of resetting of some sorts because I have tried everything.

 

Windows 10 Update (Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later)

Everytime i enter windows update i cant see nothing in Windows Update tab, only "Something went wrong. Try to reopen settings later" .

3 days have went by of me trying to fix this, but nothing is working...

The troubleshoot shows nothing wrong...

Tried to reset the pc but i got an error (something went wrong)...

When i try to scan the disk it always gives me an error

Did sfc /scandisk in safe mode there was no problem
