For the past month, I have not been able to update Windows 10 on my 2-3yr old laptop. When I click the start menu to shut down, it says I have to install updates (I cannot say no, I cannot shut down properly) if I run the update it takes about 15-20mins then says "Unable to finish updates, Undoing changes..." and another 20mins later I'm at my desktop, with Windows telling me I have updates ready to install!
In order to shut my laptop off, I just signout of my user account and then press the power button, though I know that's probably not good, I feel like my comp is stressing out over not restarting properly :( Sometimes I'll walk away from my laptop while in the middle of something and return just a few minutes later, to find that Windows has decided to restart and begins attempting to update, forces me to wait an hour to tell me it can't update, and I have my settings so that Windows only goes into standby after 45mins of idle... wtf
I googled "windows update error" but didn't have much luck. The only thing I could find was on the official Microsoft.com webpage, they said to run some Troubleshoot which I downloaded. When I ran the Troubleshoot file it said "Scanning Registry..." for like 10-15mins, then it said "Detected errors with Windows Updater, Would you like to repair the problem?" so I click yes and wait only a couple mins for it to tell me that "it is unable to fix the Windows Updater executable" or something like that... so I'm not sure what to do now.
I also noticed something isn't working with my Windows "Apps". I never use Apps and don't even want Apps on my laptop, but none of them work lately and I know that they used to. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I think I can't update or repair Windows files because my Apps are screwing it up or something. What can I do, I want the latest Windows Update!
