    Try uninstalling this code >>> 3080149 <<< in updates & reinstall it !! Always check to make sure it gets uninstalled & installed !!

    Dear Chuck,

    Thanks for your continued suppor. Ultimately I did the following as a last resort:

     

    -Installed my pre-windows 10 configuration ( Win 8.1)  image "thanks god I had it"

    -Downloaded the whole ISO file for Win 10 from Microsoft

    -Proceeded to an upgrade install keeping all my files and apps

     

    All I can say at this point is that everything is working OK now and I already made an image of the base Win 10 installation.

    My advice for other readers, keep your system in a separate physical disc or at lease on another partition and make frequent images (Macrium Reflect).

    This setup is screw up proof.

    I see you have asked for help in 3-4 other forums. Helpers don't like that because we don't want to many helpers working at the same time. So i am gonna sit aside & see if those helpers come up with something !!

     

    Good Luck

    Thanks for your reply. I really don't consider it excessive to try all venues, specially if nobody has established a reasonable solution. I started with the Microsoft forum with dismal results. If my actions have offended anyone, I'm sorry.

    I still need help!

    Hey,

     

    I was having a similar issue. Here's what I did:

     

    I downloaded Tweaking.com's Windows Repair tool from here: http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

     

    Then, in the app I opened the Start Repairs tab, then clicked Custom Repairs and ticked ONLY the box that said Repair Windows Updates. Let it start the repair and hopefully it'll fix your issue.

     

    Let us know!

    Thanks for the reply. I already did what you suggested and I only got into more trouble and I couldn't boot. Luckily, I had an image backup which saved the day.

    You mean the update has been running for months ??

     

    Chuck

    Probably, i'm sure it's running in the background with the dots from one side to another. I had not checked updates until yesterday as I assumed Win10 handled them automatically. I updated manually the latest August cummulative succesfully, but the auto update is screwed.

    Any ideas?

    Windows 10 cannot update
    I wanted to check on the status of my Win 10 updates so I looked in "settings" "update and security" and clicked on update. Nothing happened, all I get is the endless progression of dots which goes on forever. Stopping and restarting the Windows update services has no effect on this situation. Looks like this situation has been going on months now.

    Looks like it's stuck.

    Please advise.

  9. Cannot Update To Winxp Sp3

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    Dear users:

    I downloaded a STANDALONE INSTALLER of WINXP SP3 whic apparantly runs fine, but when installing files at about aproximately 60% it stops and I get the message: "ACCESS DENIED" the Service pack 3 installation is not complete. Select OK to undo the changes that have been made.

    I''m logged in as an administrator.

    I have seen this issue discussed elsewhere but the solution is very technical.

    I'd appreciate some help.
