Most updates no longer install - tried many things. Help please!
Hello chaps!
Strange problem: As of last month, most updates do not install on my Win10 Pro machine, e.g.
KB5004331
KB5004237
KB5004296
Error code: 0x800f0845
Drivers and some updates install fine however.
Things I have tried:
1. SFC /Scannow and DISM Restorehealth
2. Attempted reading CBS.Log, Setuperr.log, setupact.log (all attached).
3. In place upgrade online with updates - failed with 'Failed on Second Boot' problem: 0xc1900101 - 0x40017
4. In place upgrade from ISO - WITHOUT updates - successfully installed however updates still do not install once in windows environment.
5. Some googling mentioned that it could be a driver issue, so unplugged ALL USB devices and disabled everything in the BIOS including storage controllers / USB etc - problem persists.
6. Windows update reset
7. Updated ALL drivers manually and using Snappy
8. Probably other things which I have forgotten to mention.
I'm at the end of my rope chaps. My only caveat is that I do not wish to lose my installed apps and files - I am sure it will work if I wipe everything and start afresh, however that is not what I would call "success" :)
Help would be appreciated - thank you!
