Hello Huubvan,

Thank you for updating me with that information. What is your current Windows version and edition? Press Start then click Settings, select System then click About.

Please try performing a Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade. It will definitely help in resolving update errors. Performing this can repair broken operating system files while preserving your personal files, settings and installed applications.

**Few things to check on the PC

1. Important: Back up your personal data and files to an external hard drive, USB thumb drive.
2. Ensure you are signed in or have administrator rights to do a repair install
3. Unplug all external peripherals except for the Mouse, Keyboard, and LAN cable before starting
4. Disable or uninstall any 3rd party Anti-Virus program to prevent it from interfering with the upgrade

Kindly try to use the media creation tool.

Download the media creation tool(Click Download tool now) and save it to your computer.

If it doesn't work, Please take a screenshot of the error and post on your next reply.

Hello John,

Thank you for your support. 

It is not possible to use the method.

I'am a user but also the administrator of the computer.

if I use CMD than I get the tekst:  "C:\Users\Hubuu>"

when I choose for run as administrator, nothing is happening.
