    Your instructions are fantastic and easy to follow. The problem is windows 10. It is a broken operating system. I never had issues like this with windows 7. This is so time consuming and a waste of valuable time. I have been looking into a Linux operating system. Once I know enough about it, I am deserting Windows for good

    First, this vid got me the workaround to fix my issue of not being able to perform updates anymore. Thank you! Suggestions: you are very knowledgeable and competent with solving issues but please to slow down on your explanation. It is difficult for non-tech Savvy people to follow the directions. I had to pause the vid so many times and rewind it so that I could catch important things that I was missing. Also, it would help to have a much larger display of the items being pointed out to be selected from that you are describing. At some points I actually had to pause the screen and get a magnifying glass out to see what it was that you had selected or typed in. But, once I did, I did get my system fixed properly. Again, thank you so much because yours was the only one that fixed it. I ended up reloading win 10 though to fix the issue. None of the previous steps worked.

    I have been trying to install 1803 all day today and been faced with my system getting stuck at 94% on the windows update screen after the system reboots to install the update. I have ran the troubleshooter; I have tried to do an in-place install of Windows 10 1803; I have run both `sfc /scannow` and `DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth` to no avail. I am running Windows 10 Pro 17133.1. The weird thing is it says I am on 1803, but Windows 10 will say I need to update to 1803. Any thoughts would be appreciated, Brian! Thanks!

    Excellent. Restore health worked and my laptop is running like new. Luckily I had a shortcut to cmd Administrator saved on the desktop as it was the only way to access it. Start ups were slow afterwards and the temptation was to hard boot but I desisted and eventually windows opened, so just leave it alone. Great fix for many issues as no exe files were working. Many thanks.

    Very nice video. I have tried all these things in the past, even a clean install of Windows (which took forever with my slow DSL connection). My problem is my Windows Update used to work fine, but started giving an error message of, _"We couldn't check for updates, because you aren't connected to the Internet. Make sure you have a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection and try again."_ I use DSL, so I don't know how to make it stop telling me it can't see a WiFi connection...because I don't use WiFi :) I even had a Microsoft tech remotely take over my screen and fiddle with stuff, but he couldn't figure it out either. Like I said, the update tool used to work fine, but with the last update in Oct I think, I started getting this error message. Quite a bugger.

Can't guarantee it will work for anyone but, it worked for me after spending over 2 hours trying everything I could find on repairing windows updates. I changed both the (IPv4/IPv6) but it varies. I suppose you could use cloudflares DNS as well.

    You are my go-to tech person, so I would be curious to know if you've covered this issue before and, if you have, steer me towards a tut you've done(?). I'm having issues with Windows 10 being unable to complete updates and undoing the changes it had made. Of course, I can still use my laptop, I'm just worried about the missing updates. The issue is starting to drive me crazy. I have an HP Pavilion which came with preinstalled Windows 10. It's been just fine, updates-wise, until about a couple of weeks ago. I wound back to a previous backup in the naïve hope this would sort it out. Don't know if this action was a help or a hindrance. Can you help? Apologies to everyone currently rolling their eyes at this request. Be patient and be kind :o)

    Chris, Windows compress the old version of the system and put the new one, in fact, all the your old version of Windows are still in your computer. That´s because if you don´t like the new version, you can comeback to the old one. I don´t understand this option, because they don´t give support to the old versions, so is a very stupid madness.

    My OS is Windows 7. None of this worked for me. Still can't download Windows update KB4524752 and get error code 0x80070643 when I try to download some printer software. Don't know if they're related.
