So im on 1902(?) windows 10 update, and im trying to update to the latest release. ive got a POWERSPEC G227, a Pre built gaming PC and every time i try to update, it fails. ive gotten various error codes, and after looking around, i think its cus i dont have some access in spots. for example...

C:\Users\adamr>net stop wuauserv

System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

C:\Users\adamr>net stop cryptSvc

System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

C:\Users\adamr>net stop bits

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service is not started.

ive tried troubleshooter as well, and it seems to "Fix" a problem, but the update problem just keeps persisting

    If the issue persists, Please try performing an In-place Upgrade. It will definitely help in resolving update errors. Performing this can repair broken operating system files while your personal files, settings and installed applications will not be removed.

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