I've been making extra sure of backing up my system and hiding Windows updates to avoid them being installed.
Hide Windows Updates or driver updates

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

I had problems recently with an update, kept failing after it rebooted, on 48% every time - would turn itself off,

I tried so many different things about cleaning up temp files, manually deleting update files to force it to redownload, tried burning a dvd and booting from that, running from in windows etc,

used

https://www.ccleaner.com/

the free cc cleaner, and either it was that that was needed to remove a broken file/link to a file/clean up some temp file, or a lucky coincidence that that and the other stuff like


from powershell
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth

from admin cmd prompt
sfc /scannow
rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN
chkdsk c: /f /r

made it work, i was at last straw before doing reinstall, wasted so much time letting it update reboot, then go "no, rolling back"

showed up in windows updates.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

The last updates that came down for me were on 16th May and then installed without a hitch

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Can you take a screenshot or picture of the error you're seeing? I don't think that's the correct number.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Took the plunge and allowed the May Update. MS have screwed up YET AGAIN. Same old problem of losing access to your user profile. Been happening for months. :mad::mad::mad: When are MS GOING TO SORT IT OUT.


Managed to undo the update and then "hide" it, as otherwise it will simply install itself again.:rolleyes: No doubt all this to look forward to again in a months time.

The error code starts with a zero, not the letter O. A partial search for "0xc19a0" suggests problems with HP printers.

At one time I had Win10 update issues, the only solution as it would rollback and then work was to download the patch files and apply offline.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Decided to run it through a second time and this time it went without a glitch and i did nothing at all different.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

Did you lose access to your user profile after the 1st attempt?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

No it just failed with an error on the first attempt.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

My PC did update even though it took several hours. It seemed ok at first but the following day everything has slowed to a crawl. Apps either won’t open or take several minutes to open and then constantly freeze. :mad:

Quick question:

If you bought a new car, and it was in for safety repairs/recalls every few months, would you buy another of the same make?

I'm actually wondering how these 'professional' people can get it so wrong . . . constantly :rolleyes:

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
 

They aren't though are they? Yes that is an annoying glitch but what caused it and what percentage of users has it affected. There must be a quirky setting or configuration which a minority of users are using which is causing the update to screw up. With all the hundreds (if not thousands) of updates I have done over the years I have only ever had one update mess up and that was with Windows ME 20 years ago.

Show me a single Operating System that doesn't need monthly security updates.

You cannot compare software to hardware, but in your analogy, cars _do_ get software updates for security. Don't buy a Tesla if you are worried about software updates.
