Reset Windows Update in Windows 10  

Hi,

Firstly this is a very thorough and fantastic Thread on this very common issue. Secondly, it didn't work for me!

Not that it makes a difference, but I'm running Windows 10 Pro in VirtualBox (latest version) under Ubuntu. This was running in a Domain using WSUS, however WSUS was removed on the server and was running standard Windows Updates. All other computers are able to retrieve Updates without any issues, except mine. I've gone as far as as using all your instructions both while this computer was in the Domain, and again after I removed it from the Domain. Both times and at all times I get the "We couldn't connect to the update service" I've even gone as far as removing all firewalls and still it never works. Removed Automatic Proxy, set DNS to 8.8.8.8. still nothing! So far I wait for major updates and then re-install Windows from ISO to the latest patch. I know my next step is a clean-install but thought I'd reach out to you, in case I've missed something?

been a long time was looking for something like that
when i tried it it gets stuck at a specific step for over 10mins
the step where it's stuck is the dekete %windir%\Logs\WindowsUpdate\**

Thank You @Brink @Try3 , for replies

- it did clear but it ws stuck at that level i naviagted the folder and deleted 2 files which were not removed and restarted the process it did reset the update , but when i tried doing update it gives the error 0x800700de which take me back to the starting point

- yes that was the command where it's stuck
