When you restart your PC for it to update and restart twice for it to still fail and this legend comes along with a easy fix, you put an end to the suffering thanks my guy :D
Like so many others here, I have to thank you! You solved my problem with the first method and in just a few minutes after months of suffering with this nonsense. In case this happens to someone else, when I went to Windows Update to click on Stop, it would not let me, it would only let me click on Start. So I clicked on Start, then it changed and let me click on Stop. In Windows, there were a ton of things listed, unlike in your video but I just scrolled down to the Software Distribution and proceeded as you indicated. That was it. It worked! Yay!!!
I'm not a person who comments but I just felt I had the need to do so just this once, your tutorial video was a success for me on first option, I would like to send a BIG thank you, been suffering with this issue for about 2 mouths now and now it's gone. BIG thanks again and happy to see more useful videos of yours like this one.
Method 1 didn't work, and for method 2, when I tried to apply safe boot mode, I got a popup saying "System Configuration cannot save the original boot configuration for later restoration. Boot changes will be reverted," and it unchecked the box.
The first method does not fix my issue and I can't try the second method because for some reason I can't enter safe mode on my laptop. I've had this issue for 7 months, I've tried so many tricks, I can't seem to solve it. I know exactly the windows update that started it but Idk if I can just Uninstall it outside of safe mode?
But for that the computer will also have to start first. But In my case, while starting the computer, it is only written on the blue screen that "we couldn't complete the updates, undoing changes, Don't turn off your computer " so tell me what to do now.
mine tries twice, then the third time it turns back on, it boots windows like normal (obviously still needing to do the corrupted update) but then atleast i can access the computer
My laptop dosent even boot after it says restarting its loop and says again we couldn't complete the changes help me iam suffering from this problem for 1 week
Gopd, but you'll regret it, if you don't have a good pc or laptop, because windows 11 is Heavier than Windows 10 and it affects the performance of your PC.. so I'll suggest gamers not to update it to Windows 11... Only if you're a low end gamer...
@@F3niks25 Well, It improved my game's performance. And no, it's not heavier at all, it's lighter even! It's lighter since they removed all the bloatware apps and optimized the other built in apps. So, you're kinda wrong, but, it might depend on pc since I have got an RTX 3090, 16gb of ram on my new pc.... And yes, I used windows 10 before upgrading to 11 on this pc for a bit.
@@thepermalead Yeah, Maybe You're right.. because I haven't use Windows 11 till now, but i heard from 2-3 of my friends and one of my relatives that Windows 11 is Heavier for low end Pcs.. so i thought it may be heavier.. by the way thanks for this info.. now i can get some nice feedback and can think twice before upgrading to win 11
@@F3niks25 dude believe me windows 11 completely wrecked my laptop. There is a major performance drop atleast for me. And now I can't even go back to wins 10 cause I did this update like a month ago. I would suggest everyone to wait for windows 11 to be a bit more stable then install it.
@@atkbestballs LoL? I see, It happened with you too... Same happened with my friend... Btw, do one thing, if u want Windows 10, try Installing It... firstly, make a Bootable Pen Drive And Then Install Windows 10 from it... :)
In safe boot Do we have to uninstall the same update that u uninstalled? I can't uninstall this update in safe boot kindly help The first method worked few days ago but not working now... Kindly help
Bruh, litterally i was seeing this video opening the pc for this and bruh the pc just started updating while i was opening it which i haven't set the setting to update like that but still it did and it said the exact same thing undoing changes and stuff but when the pc finnally booted up the update was done wtf ,but still if it ever happens i can use this i bet this works but the thing is i deleted the stuff in distribution before realising this ,if i restart will they come back?
Thank you! The first method did not work for me but the second method did the trick. I then had issues getting out of safe boot which I had to sort out but after multiple restarts, I am back up an running the latest version of Windows 10. Liked and subbed
hey i tried your method and it gave my pc a black screen and then it completely destroyed my files making it unable to be used and stuck on the windows repair loop and now i cant find anyway to fix it i dont know if i did something wrong but it just went black when i restart
I’m stuck in safe mode now, I can’t get out of it it says “Something happened and you PIN isn’t available. Click to setup your PIN again” Is there a fix for this?
I am using the second method and when I am about to uninstall the update,it says 'An error has occurred. Not all the updates were successfully uninstalled' What do I do?
Both options didn't work for me. I didn't even have features updates to uninstall but I have the particular update which causing the issue and I windows doesn't uninstall it. Some error kicks in
When I delete the update it says the same thing when I wanted to update windows. I'll try and update. The update didn't work but thats because i get the same error when I want to delete the update.
At 0:42,what is he doing with the software distribution file? The top of the file is not in the picture where his pointer is. He's going too fast and CC doesn't work on this video. Please help! I don't want to do permanent damage by changing the wrong files thru out his process. Thank you.
After i went into safe mode and it restarted itself it doesnt even boot up now its just a faintly lit up black screen and ive tried everything someone help plz
The first route worked great for me l. Thank you for the great info. My updated started right away after restarting my PC and going back into Windows Updates.
How did you delete the Download folder in Software Distribution because it keeps saying the folder is open in another program do you know how to fix it
@@fragz3181 Go back to the first step and check if the Windows Update is running. Try to 'Stop' it for the 2nd time then try to delete the files asap before it starts running again.
I had been struggling with this issue for weeks, and the second method didn't work, but thankfully the 2nd one did! You are an absolute legend Edit: said 3rd instead of 2nd
I’ve been trying to fix this for almost 6 months now, and with the first method I tried it says that the data store is in use even though it isn’t. I just started getting into PCs this year and I have no clue what I’m doing when it comes to this, any ideas lol?
I tried deleting files in the SoftwareDistribution but it shows "The action can't be completed because the folder or file in it is open in another program" i checked everywhere else no file is open. Kindly suggest what to do?
When I select safe boot and click apply, Im getting an error msg.. '' System configuration cannot save the original boot configuration for later restoration. Boot changes will be reverted.

Yo when im in safe boot I clicked uninstall the most recent update and it said unable to uninstall the update was not successfully completed or installed and now i don’t know what to do
If you're one of the people with a PC that still doesn't update after trying both methods, don't feel bad. I was there too... for months. I tried like a hundred fixes but none worked except for the third method in this guy's video: ua-cam.com/video/yidWdy-Xwdk/v-deo.html It will take a lot longer than other fixes, and I don't know if it work for you too. But hey! Things will get better, just be patient and don't lose hope. Best of luck!!
so, one half hour later windows update "resolving problems" is still NOT resolving ? I detest windows 10 ! The error above couldn't complete opens everyday and takes a good half hour to try to load and then unload before I can get on line :(
In 2nd method My computer shows 3 updates but one of them is security update other 2 are windows update but not feature updatemy new installed update is not even uninstalling help me plss
