Windows STILL won't update? Do THIS!

- These days, updating Windows is like playing Russian Roulette. Microsoft keeps breaking things, and I have to continually figure out how to fix them. I recently had ANOTHER problem with Windows Update. After trying everything, this is the solution that finally worked for me! Don't worry: they'll break it again soon enough!

This is exactly what happened to my computer. I wouldn't have been able to figure this one out on my own. Thanks man!
As great as your advice is, it's Cletus' input that truly makes this channel great.
LOL!
I have to do a clean install of windows 11 because the cumulative update keeps failing to install. I've tried EVERYTHING but a clean install. It's bullshit that a company as large as Windows, can't seem to figure out how to make a stable OS.
HOLY SMOKES SCOTTIE!...YOUR TUTORIAL HERE JUST MADE ALL MY UPDATE PROBLEMS GO AWAY!👌👍💪 i just deselected everything non microsoft cuz i didn't feel like goin thru all those startup programs...and VIOLAAA!!!...my windows 11 updates succeded! MAD PROPS TO YOU SIR FOR THIS LIFESAVER!🙏
WOOHOO!!!! 😁
I have been following the instructions in your videos but still the update won't install. I cannot upgrade to windows 11 because the processor is not supported. For the people asking why even update windows, how do I stop it? Every day it downloads the same darn update and every day it has to undo the changes because the updates could not be completed. Been going on for months now 😢
Same 😢
didn't work. So my windows updater in the settings just loads into infinity.
It doesn't even show anything when i go into windows update in the settings. there is just this loading screen that loads into the infinity!
Please help me fix this!!
Good morning Cletus and Scottie!! Grabbing coffee for the new video !🖖🏻
I gave all your vids bout this a shot and still I get the message after restarting "undo changes" because windows updates didn't work. I did install a new gpu in August, but that was happening before all of this still. Tracing it back, I can't really think of anything specific that could have caused it since this has been a few months now. I believe whenever windows 11 launched, which I also cannot run that with my specs. You're very comprehensive and a great instructor, I'm just stuck is all.
There seems to be a serious problem with the September updates - and sometimes the August ones. Just yesterday, I had to do ALL my fixes on 1 computer, and it still didn't work! So then I disabled MalwareBytes (anti-virus thingy), and then rebooted. Ta-DA! It finally worked. I'm really at a loss as to what the heck they did to break updates so thoroughly. :(
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH, I WAS LITERALLY RAGING OVER NOT BEING ABLE TO UPDATE 🙏
Thanks Scottie! Nice to see you, btw! :)
I un checked everything and restarted and now I can’t log back into my pc !!!
Hi Scottie! Can you please review and test the Qlink USB thing?
I have had "You're not up to date" "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes" For about a year now, nothing has worked, I check for updates and nothing comes up. No idea what is going on. I also tried doing a full reset, but windows doesn't want to reset! It's an absolute pain and I think I need to take it in somewhere to get fixed.
Preciate it my controller connected to my pc had a driver error did some research and said I had to update my pc although it wouldn’t let me download it this video helped so much your the GOAT
Hey man appreciate the effort you're putting in to help people, for me, it still doesn't work, after I change something on the msconfig - apply changes - ok - I don't get a window where I have to accept the changes, the program just closes and nothing changed when I reopened msconfig
Ah yes, that's ANOTHER known bug in Windows. You can try this: appuals.com/msconfig-not-saving-changes-on-windows-10/
Thank you so much for this Scottie. Your the best!
Thank you after a month or so of waiting for it to fix itself I finally decided to take action and you were very helpful. 👍
No problems w/updates thus far. However just ONCE I would like to know For Real how to keep the cursor from jumping and occasionally freezing, despite clearing the cache etc. Grrrr. Thx Scottie!
Could you show how to make a cheap faraday cage on your pc to protect it from emi effectively? There’s online communities of players experiencing system latency fluctuations and odd behavior at different times of the day and I think this would be a cool experiment to see if it clears up issues.
U can De-Inioze it by just paint. There is special paint that if u paint on metal then it wont be EM soaking. The paint act like rubber. My PC case is encoated with it and normally most others too. If u got color of steel instead black then thats the problem. As a kid I would get shocked alot and have irregulaties. Felt like sometimes aliens be hacking PC. XD
Nothing works for me. So, do I wait for next update and hope it will replace this broken one?
You've probably tried this, but unplug everything unnecessary - especially any USB devices other than mouse/keyboard (if it's a desktop). Also, remove optical disc if it has a DVD/Blu-ray drive. Back in the day when I was attempting to install a Win 10 update on my old laptop, I actually had to remove the disc and leave the optical drive tray OPEN when the puter rebooted. Then the update worked. I'm still not quite sure why that helped, but I had tried everything under the sun. I'm guessing it had something to do with Windows starting and looking at possible boot devices, and leaving the optical drive tray open threw a wrench into the works so that the update ignored the drive. If nothing else works, you just want to reinstall Windows. I had to do that on my wife's PC. After Win 7, then upgraded to Win 10, then repeated big/small updates and Win 10 upgrades, it just got totally messed up. It was doing the weirdest things... Finally, I just backed everything up and did a clean install of Win 11, and Ta-DA! Works fine now.
@@ScottiesTech Thank you for your answer. I don't have built in DVD drive. I've tried several things I found on the Internet, like installing from a file and some other solutions. It didn't work. I will have to reinstall Windows sooner or later, but I am not sure whether this is such a big problem in the first place.
So, how does Windows 11 feel? I don't want to rush into it yet.
@@ShamanKish Windows 11 is... so-so. It's not a huge upgrade, and very little has changed. I just installed it because I figured Microsoft would devote more attention to problems with Win 11 than they do with Win 10!
@@ScottiesTech Well, since support for W10 is running out pretty soon I guess I'll have to prepare myself for that change. Thanks.
@@ScottiesTech Holy Macaroni you went as far as rebooting with an open drive tray now that really is leaving no stone unturned...It really does beg the question why aren't there dozens of other operating systems available....
Hey man I tried this and it didn't work. I decided to disable all the startups for asus since that doesn't really matter I don't think and enabled everything from intel and microsoft and it still didn't work. I'm getting an error that says things are missing or corrupted. Specifically error code 0x800700c1. It gave me this error before I decided to disable everything from asus and decided to try that option.
It did work! i had stopupdates 10 guard in my msservices enabled... no idea where it came from. after disabling it it my windows update service no longer stopped by itself now i can update it. Thanks!
it didn't work for me
I've still got Windows 7 and no issues so far for 10 years very smooth to run. I know its not "supported" anymore but is it really that dangerous to use online?. What are your thoughts Scottie?
For a normal home user, you're probably fine for several years after support ends. Eventually, without updates, things stop working. But it takes awhile. So, unless you're in need a new puter, hang on to that one! Just be sure to use some kind of antivirus software to keep the baddies away.
@@ScottiesTech Thanks man you"re one of the few good ones on this platform, keep up the good work 🙏🏾
Few years ago about 8 months before XP Support ended I made up my mind to see how far I could push XP before it failed. It OS totally failed in a little more that 2 years. By this time Nothing supported it and it simply dies with zero recourse. I should point out that for the previous six months I was spending 25 hours per week maintaining it to keep it going. I was so worn out with it all that I took a 1 year break from even buying another computer. I moved on to 10 Pro with very little difficulty - I had heard for quire some time that 10 was a steep learning curve, but was not. One thing for sure is that I won't do that again. Was it worth it - yes as a 1 time thing
@The Handsome Life Dude, Windows 10 or 11 or whatever was straight up built to be malicious and a spyware, I'd rather take my chances with Windows 7 that is mostly under my* control.
@The Handsome Life I'm stuck with WIN7 out of necessity because I'm still using programs and games that are only available for Windows. Otherwise I would have switched to Linux a long time ago. As long as I can still use WIN7 without any major problems I'll stick to it.
see i did all these things and it still wont work, i even coded the health reset. it seems like im just gonna have to get a new cpu and motherboard
i am literally at my last straw istg ive tried everything and nothing is working my Microsoft store isnt working either im so done
I have Windows 8.1 and it didn't work for me as Windows updates just stay at 0% and never download. I have tried everything I can, troubleshooting, command prompt, trying to let it restart and update, checked for errors, nothing seems to work and I keep getting the error message. It's been two weeks and Its been absolutely exhausting. I just want this fixed
I'm afraid you're in trouble... Window 8.1 support ended on January 10, 2023. So even if you update to the latest version, there will be no further security or bugfix updates at all. You could try upgrading to Win 11 like this: scottiestech.info/2023/10/03/how-to-install-windows-11-on-any-computer/
But the problem there is that I don't think they supports Win 8.1 -> 11 upgrades any more... :(
@@ScottiesTech At this point I just wanna fix the issue. I can still use the computer it's just I can't download certain programs because I don't have certain updated programs. I could worry about switching to 11 later if possible
2 months later and I still haven't fixed the issue. I was well aware Windows support ended but was hoping videos like this would help and I have tried everything asked and still Windows won't update. I just need help to end this issue once and for all
I turned all the auto update stuff off and here windows 10 is trying to update and just is freezing my pc
I'm here on June 16 2023 and it fix my PC thanks you so much I took it to a PC repair place and they said $100 to fix but I save it because of you thanks so much
Please help me I clicked on disable all then when I reseted my computer it said that your pin is no longer available can you please help me nothing works
One of these options should get you back in: helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/how-to-fix-something-happened-and-your-pin-isnt-available-error-in-windows/
Thank you I will try
@@ScottiesTech It had not worked please help... :(
because i use a small program called spybot anti beacon to disable a lot of telemetry my windows 10 has not updated itself for quite a while
it runs windows update every day but never actually downloads anything, but im at the stage having to reinstall win10 as my system regulary does not turn off via shut down or my icons suddenly become default icons, but that could also be the age of some of my components namely a 10yo psu and aging r9 fury gpu !
Ummmm what do l do when it doesn’t wanna install
My issue is that it won’t let me update. It says u have to update, I click check updates and it started lending download and install, then it stops and it goes back to check update again like it didn’t do anything
Hey,ive tried everything above and it still didn't work can you maybe help me?
I started the windows updater remediation tool because nothing else was working and it at least started to download the update
I disabled everything except windows things and it's still not working.
hi after i had an update on my windows 11 it closed down like normal but restarted pretty quick which was odd ever since my pc has felt a lot slower than usual do you know what could be the problem? thanks
my windows updates untill 100 it will stay at 100 for a while and then give me the error code
Can you help me here I just redownload windows 10 but update keep telling me to retry

Guys I just found this video again and something went wrong
1. I turned off all services and tried to update it did not update
2. Now the problem is my pin isn’t working
they tell me my pin isn’t available and when I click to fix it it keeps looping, now I’m stuck on the start screen with no internet connection
3. I only have two advanced settings | startup settings/ Uefi settings|
Now I can’t do anything
Someone help me please 😔
I installed the new windows 11 update twice and didn't even update I'm stock with the regular windows 11 I don't wanna press download again any suggestions ?
This worked the first time I did it a few months ago but now it doesn’t I aways play games on my pc and non of them work
8/26/2024 Can confirm Microsoft is still putting out crap updates...
mine installed but it still shows I have windows 7
I didn’t get the damn retry button . Same ol bullshit ..
Bro thank god it worked 😭, thank you bro
I'm actually having a serious problem with windows 10 not updating. I've tried the one you suggested with turning off the windows update thing, then going into the file folder and deleting the windows files. At first I thought it worked, but I still keep getting a "we couldn't complete updates undoing changes" message. This is after it gets around 97 to 100 percent complete. What should I do to fix this issue?
It might be a hardware thing... one time, I had to disconnect all USB devices, and open the DVD burner drive tray. I'm not kidding. I have NO IDEA why opening the optical drive tray would make any difference, but it worked. Either that, or I just go lucky!
Same here
Same
I accidentally deleted the windows ones too now my entire laptop won’t work it says you need to reset the account pin but won’t let me
You might be able to fix it like this guy did: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/i-disabled-all-msconfig-services-in-windows-10-now/2f6a0c29-3766-48ca-a37d-c9c6ba915a01
If that doesn't work, try tapping F8 during boot and going into Safe Mode. That should let you log in w/o PIN code, and then you can run msconfig and re-enable everything.
My PC is only showing windows update
The year is 2022 and Windows updates are still a problem. Humanity’s going downhill.
Hey can you help me with my UsoSvc? whenever I try to start it just says that the system cannot find the file specified can you help me with this?
Why would you update Windows? What is your problem, dude?!
I go to open msconfig and my pc won’t even open that
Thank you . Will try that .
Didn’t fix anything been going through every tut your liek my 12th nothing works
Hi Scottie , I'm not a scholar in computer science and when I open such a pages for me everything suspicious on that screen :))
Thank you my computer was having this issue worked for me thanks again
I have virtualshield and I am on the same screen as you right now and it is the only one that says UNKNOWN..
Could that be why Windows is not updating? I am not removing it so any suggestions?
Only one way to find out! 🤓
@@ScottiesTech point taken!

And it still didnt fix my problem
What the hell is wrong with these people that they make a product that will not update. Even worse, they refuse to allow anyone to download any app from the Window's store unless the user is current on updates. What a bunch of assholes.
Cletus, I believe mine has something to do with the current installed Windows Update policy. How do get in there, see what the current policy is, and change it to allow updates?
I've utterly given up trying to get Win10 to update, I'll be running 1909 from here on out. I refuse to invest any more time and effort into this.
I tried this and it didn't work. It made it about 80% into the update, then went to a black screen that said, "Rolling back changes..." with no explanation. Some computers just won't update and Microsoft doesn't care enough to fix their installer. My conclusion at this point is that they want things to be broke to keep an army of IT people on corporate payrolls, it's probably part of some kickback scheme. I'm not an IT expert so I hit my limit to what I can do long ago.
I have no idea how you have so many subs that literally had nothing to do with anything related to the install not working….
My computer has everything but the try again button. Windows is truly the worst operating system in the world.
Thanks undercover Bob Ross
Thank You . . .
Nothing in any of your videos is working, idk what is wrong with my windows im so close to just breaking my damn ssd and buying a new one. I cannot update 1809 to 1909 and I just wanna play some games
1:18 so u wont have to wait
I thank you for your video but not even this solved my problem.
sadly it didn't work
thank you
Thank you lil broski
Do this: buy an Apple and throw the Windows computer away.
That's bad advice apple computers suck more then there phone
tried this and a couple more things, sadly noting helped.
This didn’t work for me when i try to retry or restart button it only makes it to 21% and then says there was an error undoing changes and just doesn’t update any help on that please 🥲
