I have done 3 clean installs. It said it found 221 updates when I first checked, resatarted and it says I have only 6 updates installed and when I check for updates it says I am up to date, which I cannot be, with only 6 updates!!!
Troubleshooter said it couldn't find anything. I have went through multiple steps that include stopping Windows update service and restarting, deleting Software distribution, etc. NOTHING works, at all. This is crazy. I went from 8.1 to 10 and it checks and says I am up to date, but I am not, I only have a few updates. What the hell is going on? Is there NO Way I can download the latest updates to a disk and install that way? Not one "fixit" actually fixes anything and the trouble shooter is worthless too! It is a Dell Inspiron 4gb RAM 64 bit. This is nuts and I have never had this issue, for this long. It literally checked for updates for 3 days and nothing. Now it checks and says I am up to day, with only 6 updates installed
I did a complete re-install, then a reset, nothing I am still getting the service registration missing or corrupt. I have stopped and restarted the services, made sure they are automatics, etc. What the hell is going on!!

Microsoft upgrades existing updates, so it replaces them instead. I have 5+2 updates.
Small updates and drivers are not listed as installed updates. So do not worry about it.

While this is true (they do cumulative updates) he needs to check the KB article to find out when the patches that he did get were released. To tell him to not worry about it, isn't really the greatest advice. Obviously this concerns him, and rightfully so.
Mike I hear you, I had a similar problem with one installation out of the six that I've done. I think I downloaded the Windows update troubleshooter after doing similar things to what you've without a doubt already done. Yeah I think I renamed that stupid software distribution folder to .old around fifty times lol... good times. Anyways, just keep struggling away and you'll get it to work. I'd try the troubleshooter
If there would be a problem, checking for Windows updates would fail and report an error.
But you are right, checking KB, if the latest updates are actually installed, is a good idea.

Thanks.....but what does this have to do with my question? I didn't get an "answer" out of this, just what issue you are having.

Yeah, I do not know how many times I need to try that, delete the download contents in SOftaware distribution, rename, etc. Why would the service registration be missing upon every single clean install, and reset? I have re-burned the ISO, tried from USB, etc.
It makes no sense. The last clean install I did (the third one) it found 221 updates, but then once it restarted it "rolled them back" and I was never able to "find" them again. Is there no way to download the latest updates to a drive or something, and install that way? I tried the offline updater but once it is complete I have no idea how to actually get the downloaded updates to install!
Hi there
We got the crashed on machine running on Windows 10 started on last Wednesday and it's been working well for almost 1 month. After troubleshooting and restoring, we came across it's something to do with the Intel Drivers Display update...

I know Brink and Tairiku (experts I'm sure) have contributed to a solved thread "Turn Off Windows Updates" but here I am with an MBA in Finance and still somewhat confused based on what I'm trying to do.
It's all about the Nvidia drivers. I...
I recently upgraded to W10. When my first auto update came through, the setting panel just tells me it cannot install updates. I get 2 errors & 2 waiting for install as follows.

MS Defender updates from Windows Update in settings fail, other Updates successful, but MS Defender from Control panel can update the same definition updates without problems (why, oh, why? can't I just select and copy from settings? :()...
