Windows Update issues
On a fresh install of Windows 10 and I'm slowly adding back applications. One particular app required the .net framework installed and proceeded to download it half way through this I cancelled thinking I'd prefer to get it from MS directly as I didn't know where the app was getting it's version in case it was dodgy.
Then I found out that in Windows 10 I could enable the framework and it would be installed via settings. Hence I did this and it proceeded to download. Unfortunately the process failed mentioning a catastrophic error! Oh boy then I downloaded some utility from MS to troubleshoot WU and got nowhere. I rebooted a couple of times and WU still won't work reporting errors and to wait and try again later.
I've been here before and know I could spend hours or days trying to sort out silly stuff like this that should be more robust, so frustrating (like Windows 7/10 installs that either won't go into sleep mode or keep waking up, this has been a continual battle with small victories).So now I've ended up with restoring an image I luckily took with clonezilla and I'm back in business and have the framework installed.
But seriously why is WU so fragile, very disappointing I expected it to be more robust.
