Windows 10 update failing?

[Gerard]

Checked my update history and there's numerous instances of windows 10 apparently trying to install but not being able to. Weird thing is i'm not being given any notification of this and when i do check for updates i get something basic like a windows defender update.

Anyone know what would be causing this?

That or just use an ISO from the FAQ

Do this instead.


Locate the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]


2.It should exist, but if not, create it.


3.Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with Name = "AllowOSUpgrade” (without the quotes), and set the Value = 0x00000001.

Turns out this is affecting me as well. I was wondering why I hadn't been offered the upgrade yet. Think I'll try ED209's first link tomorrow.

Mine has tried auto updating about 40 times since the 29th and fails every time.
I have also tried the iso and the other ways about 10 times and those also fail with different error codes every time after the second reboot.
Have given up and hidden the update, i will stay on 8.1
