    Windows will not update, in some sort of loop


    Hi there,I have been "updating" windows for a while now, but it never seems to actually work. Essentially what happens is it tells me that it needs to update with a restart, there's that little update symbol with the yellow dot in the bottom right of the start bar so I update it, and it seems fine for maybe a few hours. However, every single time I do this, it just fails and loops back to needing updates again. I have no idea how to fix this. I have run the update troubleshooter, which says "can't detect any problems". I thought maybe it was because there was something wrong with my drive. I

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    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.

    Windows 10 endless loop reboot

    Hi,

    • Have you checked if the hard disk is set as first boot device in the BIOS?
    • Which version of Windows is installed on the computer?
    • What did the HP supported suggested you to fix the issue?

    I suggest you to follow the steps provided in the following article and check if it helps.

    Windows 10 endless loop reboot

    If the issue persists, please get back to us with the more information about the interaction with HP support and the outcome of the issue.

    Windows will not update, in some sort of loop

    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 will not update, in some sort of loop :) Best regards.


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