Windows 10: Windows update won't install and just keeps asking to check for updates

After the last update asked for a restart I complied and everthing seemed normal until i couldnt install anything. Windows update just says I am missing some important security and quality fixes. When I hit check for updates it searches stops and I am left at the same exact windows update screen.

Windows updates won't install!

I'll check that out.

I had read that. However the problem MS is addressing there is when the update client files of the pc don't recognise that the pc is not updated and hence don't download the updates. My updates download fine. In fact I'm even getting downloaded updates which I do not need (win2000, vista, server...) The problem is getting the correct updates installed...

For example, I'm getting KB933729 in my list. That's for Vista!

I had the same problem when i repaired my O/S, i forgot the steps on how to fixed it, but it is in the microsoft support forum.

You have to reinstall the windows updater, then restart the updating service.

I tried your advice WileE. Surprisingly, the problem is persisting. *Confused

The only update which installed correctly and automatically is "Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1".

Now I've been trying to install them manually.

What is weird is that as I go along I am realising that not all these updates are good for me!
For example, I get one KBsomething, which when I check it out see that it is for IE7 on Vista. And I have XP... *Twitch :twitch: Also, some of the updates there are for server, or for Windows 2000.

Something's really wrong. I shouldn't even be getting the option to install these in Windows Updage... *Oh Well hwell:
