no longer seems able to apply an update
I could not understand much of what went on earlier in this thread, but need to do something to my working Windows 10 that no longer seems able to apply an update.
running a command prompt as Administrator:
sfc reports no problems
dism reports no problems
Attempting to follow the instructions for an "elevated command prompt" (following the link at the top of this article) fails because both of those commands fail: sfc gets part way through and reports something like "System protection cannot complete requested tasks" and dism reports that /CheckHealth is unknown.
So I'm trying to do a repair with the 1607 ISO (on DVD). It fails in a very interesting way. It says it can't tell if this computer supports Windows 10. I took a screenshot of that. Please note:
1. It's already running windows 10, and it is activated.
2. It runs dual intel Xeon processors (each with 8 cores, hyperthreaded to 16 threads)
3. It has 256 GB (really!) of RAM
4. Not shown, but the primary drive has over 400 GB of free space.
Maybe somebody can guess exactly what it thinks keeps this machine from running Windows 10??? I could sure use some help with this.
