At wits end. Tried all the generic suggestions, chkdsk, sf scannow, etc.  Found Windows 10 Update Assistant, downloaded and run app that now advises me "Something went Wrong" and to contact Microsoft Support to help with this error.  Help!

    Hi T,

    Click your Start Button, type winver and hit Enter

    On the resulting dialog, what version of Windows 10 are you running?

    Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

    Go to Update and Security - Windows Updates

    What update(s) are showing as pending on your system?

    Ran setup in administrator mode and after a few screens get the message "We can't tell if your PC has enough space to continue installing Windows 10.  Try restarting setup."

    I'll go and get a nights sleep now and see whether I can muster the strength to start and waste a third day on this buggy update...

    Hi T, 1709 is no longer the latest version of Windows 10, 1803 has been released, you should go straight to that version to bring your system up to date, resolve all issues and make all previous updates obsolete . . .

    With these major upgrades, the most successful method is to upgrade from the Windows 10 ISO - you download the ISO and then perform an Offline Upgrade

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    Uninstall any 3rd party Anti-virus - this is a known issue with 1803

    Then, double click it and then run Setup.exe to begin the upgrade . . .
