Update error, how to stop it?

Question

Hello, so there is a problem with my pc. Whenever i start it everyday, there will be always a windows update that saying i have to update to windows 10 21H2, but it already in that version. After the update, i receive this message, "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80004005)", and always asking me to retry it. Is there any help to stop this?

Hi Jonathan,

I am sory that did not work for you

Open a Command Prompt as Administrator

(Click your Start Button, type cmd, right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator')

Run these commands one at a time and hit ENTER

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

Type exit to quit Command Prompt, then restart (not shut down) your PC.

Then check if the updates in the settings app will install correctly.

Hi Jonathan,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

if you have version 21h2 installed, that is an older version of Windows 10, you would need to update to version 22h2 to bring Windows 10 fully up to date.

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

Please follow the steps, this is then just an update and your files and applications will remain untouched.

Click this link:

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, not USB

When the ISO file completes downloading

Disconnect from the Internet

Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the upgrade option.
