Still having update issues

Hi bla19

Just so we know, what build are you on? (We saw from other thread you are 1709. Looking for build.)

Windows key + R, type winver, enter

Are you running any other AV (McAfee, Norton, Avast etc.)?

You didn't fill in any specs, what device do you have?

My next step would be to reset Window Updates.

Reset Windows Update in Windows 10

After it is done ensure you restart computer (not shutdown).

My next suggestion would be an inplace repair / upgrade. Let's see if Update reset works.

On my taskbar there is a shield with a red X in it, I believe this is Defender. Anyhow, it tells me to open settings and when I do it says "Your device is at risk because it's out of date and missing important security and quality updates....

build number (os build 16299.192). If this is not up to date then I will retry to reset update which I did last time...

Seems you're not alone in getting stuck at 16299.192. This thread had the same problem...
Windows Update Alert
...Resetting windows update didn't help, but do try that first. A fix was finally found here.

I tried almost everything including reset update and then I think I fix my problem thanks to the advice above.
"My next suggestion would be an inplace repair / upgrade. Let's see if Update reset works."
When I did the repair it installed the fall version of Windows 10. It then said check for updates which I did overnight. It then said update failed retry. When I hit retry it successfully updated and I am now on version 1079 (os build 16299.371).

Thanks for all the help

Very cool. Thanks for posting your results and solution.

If you could mark thread solved it will help others find it.
