Solved Windows Update won't install updates even after multiple reinstalls

[Laith]

I did a clean install, as said in the title. I clean installed multiple times.

EDIT: It just finished the startup repair, and I found an interesting thing: Problem Signature 07: BadPatch
EDIT2: It restarted and it works, hoping for the best that Windows Update works.

Does not work. Says that all updates are up-to-date and installed, when they aren't. I noticed that the KB31xxxx update ThrashZone linked me failed to install.

Hi,
You never posted this report
Just paste it here

The two update I posted download them to a flash drive and start over.

I'll post the MGADiag report later, meanwhile it's stuck on Checking for upgrades, help?

I understand you first post. It states re-install.
It does not indicated if the re-install is from a backup, a recovery partition or from what method.
If you meant you did a Clean Install from a proper media, I just misunderstood you. Sorry.

It's no problem.

Hi,
Just refer back to my first post and make sure the 4 services are Disabled.
Otherwise the stand alone search/ install will stall.

I'm not using the standalone installer, I'm trying to use the Windows Update client.

Hi Laith

Would you mind posting the log of chkdsk?

 

[Laith]

Where do I find that? It had a scheduled chkdsk at startup, so I let that run, but where can I find the log?

Then you're waste your time and ignoring suggestions you asked for earlier.
Without the 2 updates I posted installed in the order I posted them in you might as well take a nap or let it search all night.... and just count the errors
Good luck.

I installed the updates that you gave me earlier from a standalone installer. After I did that I tried to use the Windows Update client to see if it worked...

You never said they successfully installed ?

The first one, KB30xxxx installed correctly, the KB31xxxx one failed. Also I tried that before with no success.

Personally I'd start over and do the 2 dates without an internet connection then activate windows after the second one installs

I just did it so windows does not have to be activated to install them.
It should also only take a few minutes each.

After activating windows the other 200+ as long as you exclude recommended updates from be mixed up with important updates and only deal with the important updates first you "shouldn't" have any problems.

Of course today might not be all that great of a day to load a bunch of updates seeing it's last day for win-10 freebie which all the Don't miss out on the free upgrades messages are gone so it might of been yesterday midnight was the deadline ?

What happened with the disks? did they not install and remember updates are playing silly buggers right now and if you don't want the 10 stuff use these
Ultimate Outsider - Software Downloads run it and then use it every now often to get the files cleared see pic

and run the disable batch file from this Upgrade to Windows 10 Update - Enable or Disable in Windows 7 or 8.1 - Windows 10 Forums

So I solved it by doing a final re-install, applying a load of patches(about 6 patches I remember) and it worked. Thanks for all the support guys!
