Windows 10 Update KB3074683 Failing Every Time (Error 0x80070011)
Hey everyone,
I recently went from windows 8.1 to windows 10, before resetting my computer to Windows 10 (build 10240). Everything was working fine and dandy until trying to install update KB3074683. The update downloads and says it installs but the computer needs to be restarted. Everytime I restart the computer, it works on the updates until 17% or 18%, before restarting. I then get "We couldn't complete the update, Undoing Changes".
I have run sfc/ scannow, which fixed some issues the first time through, but has not encountered any problems on the last 3 runs. Windows Update Troubleshooter also isn't finding errors.
After some extensive Googling, it seems that this issue is pretty rare. I have seen people claiming that it only affects users with Nvidia drivers (I have an EVGA GTX 960 video card). Appartently it's an issue with a ProfileImagePath involving "UpdatusUser". I looked in my regedit, and didn't see any "wrong" profiles. I have LocalService, NetworkService, Mike, and one that has a path %systemroot%\system32\config\systemprofile.
When looking in Event Viewer, this is what I see: "Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070011: Security Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3074683)."
I've also tried downloading this update manually and installing it that way.
Has anyone else experienced this?
If nothing else, would mounting the Windows 10 iso and running it enable me to repair this issue, while keeping all my files and settings?
Thank you very much for any help!
