Solution 2: Ensure that all services related to Windows Update are running. Solution 3: Fix the issue via an elevated Command Prompt.
Updates were downloaded and I got an error during install. None of the updates installed. I tried installing them several times. I did get Windows Defender updates installed using the update within the Defender Program.
All the updates show failed when I go to Advanced Options and click Update History. I checked installed updates and there are none showing there. The problem is... Windows Update NOW says my system to up to date and there are no updates available, when the updates that were previously coming up are not even installed. How can I FIX this?
I currently have Build 10166 installed (just did a clean install and first thing I did was attempted to install driver and defender updates)
