windows 10 update

Hi Aubrianne,

There are times that this error occurs when some files in the Windows Update are missing or corrupted. Let's fix this by using the Windows Update Troubleshooter to automatically diagnose and resolve any software issues related to Windows Update.

Just double-click the latest WindowsUpdate.diagcab file to run the troubleshooter. Then, select Next and follow the steps in the wizard to find and fix issues with Windows Update.

Kindly update us with the result.

Well, I tried everything you suggest, but nothing works, the error is still there. I only didn't try to "Perform a clean install of Windows 10" because I will lost everything and I think there should be the ultimate alternative.

I tried to do separately updates instalations after my the last successful automatized instalation. The last one was KB4033631, so I tried to start from the acumulative last update available, but didn't work. It says:

And everyone I tried, inclusive the next one after my KB4033631 was KB4034674 but had the same message error "The update is not applicable to your computer" (acumulative and diferential). So if any of them are applicable to my computer, why is it trying to install them? What could be wrong?

Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem and can't install that update. Tried turning off my antivirus and nothing, tried in safe mode and neither. The troubleshooter says that there is a pending update, but can't solve it. The messages of try again and error code are very annoying.

Hi ChâteauDemex,

I have noticed that this thread has been idle for sometime now, I would like to know if you are still having difficulties on installing the updates to your computer and needs further assistance.

If yes, I will require some information to further isolate the issue. Please answer the questions below:

• I would like to confirm the current build and version of your Windows. Press the Windows key and R buttons simultaneously to open the Run command then type winver and press Enter.
• Let's Check for updates on your computer again. Are the same updates are being offered to you?

For now lets check for corruptions on your System Files by performing DISM and SFC commands. To perform DISM and SFC scans follow the steps below.

1. Right click the Windows button, and then select Command Prompt (Admin). If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow or Yes.
2. Type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth then press Enter.
3. Once the operation has been completed, Type sfc /scannow.
4. Try to check for updates again.

Update us on the result.
