Hello,
when i try to update windows 10 i get this code error(0x80070643) its probably related to windows defender
i tried the .bat file you updated and it always stop here
update it worked and restarted but i still get the same error when updating windows + when i try to open the services it says that administrator blocked you from opening this app
i tried to open the bat file again and it stop here

Do you mean nothing else happened after you saw the output shown in your screenshot?

sorry i updated the previous post i didn't notice your reply, at first there was nothing it was freezing at my first screenshots , then after a long time i saw a progress and restart so i restarted .. after the restart there is the same problem with the code i mentioned + i cant open the services as it says an administrator blocked you from opening this app ,, i tried to open the bat file again and nothing happened still the same issues

i have another question , if i downloaded the windows 10 iso as i seen in previous replies, but i bought this windows 6 years ago with my laptob will my product key still work? and there a way to know my product key because i lost it?

@riham

Suggest running the batch file in safe mode.

Boot into Safe Mode on Windows 10

After reboot disable any third party security solutions and use default hosts file.

Other than that I have no further suggestions.

What services? Are you an administrator on your Windows 10?

thank you for the product key tool!
yes the services app i was able to open it before i run the .bat file as administrator

Check Settings, Update, Activation.
If, like most of us, your Windows is 'activated with a digital licence' then you do not need a product key.
Your Windows will automatically re-activate when you go online after a Clean install.

Thank you for the tutorial, however, the file does not seem to want to run as administrator. After accepting the UAC prompt the command prompt simply does not reappear and nothing happens. I then tried running it in safe mode, if ran as administrator the same thing happens: nothing. If run normally, it does open and stops all the necessary services, however, it says that the qmgr*.dat files could not be found and produces this result:

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

I do not know how to run the command provided, when I attempt to run it after the restart it simply says it does not recognize '/H'

Hello Ryan, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Just to verify, are you signed in to an administrator account when running the BAT file?

The unable to find error messages are normal when the BAT file tries to delete something not there or already deleted. It will continue to finish though.

The policy update failed errors are from the BAT file not running with elevated rights.
