Then I read MS was going to update older machines, and I was patient. One day, a group of new updates offered. Installed all the updates, and then 1903 was offered as an update. But the update failed. I did a manual check for new updates, and one of the original group of updates was offered again. I don't know why. Again I installed the update, and this time 1903 installed. So, I'll ask, have you done a manual check for available updates other than 1903? Manual check for updates identifies you as a "seeker", with whatever that entails. I've been seeking that winning lottery ticket a long time, but with no success. I've no idea what a "seeker" in MS's eyes means, but I guess I'm not terribly worried about it. LOL I'd have to say, I do manual checks because I don't trust the system to actually keep my systems up to date. Too many times, I'll see a message that says I'm up to date, then a manual check finds more updates. If I was up to date, there should be no further updates, especially when the system does a check after installing the updates and gives me the no more updates message. -- Ken MacOS 10.14.5 Firefox 67.0 Thunderbird 60.7 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!" |

LOL someone who request windows updates, rather than wait for them to be pushed, potentially interrupting whatever they're doing.

Fails after 55% in update with the only result I can see is 80070003.Normal updates work OK. Running Windows Update Repair finds no faults. I tried deleting the Software Distribution folder, again with no effect. How new is your hardware? I have done a lot of updates but one older machine would not go beyond 1803 Bought new in 2015 Well, most of the machine I upgraded were that age or older. Saw this though https://windowsreport.com/error-code...indows-update/ It's possible the error is not "something happened", but an error of "path not found". The trick then, is to find a log file and see if the path that is not found, is listed. As that could be a breadcrumb for a more focused plan. I mean, we could fix everything with a Repair Install, except when it was an install you were doing in the first place, and the Repair Install is also not likely to work, and for similar reasons (with respect to some "path" damage that stopped the other install from happening). Yeah, running DISM and SFC is fun and all, but how often does stuff like that actually fix things ? Paul |

I've no idea what a "seeker" in MS's eyes means Microsoft made the arbitrary decision, that if you click the "Check for updates" button, it would change the behavior of if/when updates would show up. It makes about as much sense as the behavior around their "hours of use" setting. Where it seems to me, updates seem to happen during "the hours I use my computer". Just some additional random variables, thrown in for fun and unexpected outcomes. Paul |
