Windows 10 Refuses To Update
-
I have a client's workgroup Windows 10 PC that is refusing to check for updates.
- The PC has been restarted numerous times.
- The "view installed update history" is blank even though there are updates installed as recently as March 15
- Have tried the troubleshooter to no avail
- Turned off AV and still won't check for updates
- The Windows license is properly activated (has been for over a year)
- No new software has been installed in months
I'm tapped out for answers and Google search results have yielded nothing that has worked. Anyone encounter this?
-
Yes, we've encountered this.
Go download the current Cumulative update and install it manually.

@nashbrydges What is the version it is at? Like 16299.192

I have found that sometimes that doesn't even work with this issue

It's running build 1709. Downloading the cumulative update and will give that a try.

This is a bit unorthodox but if that doesn't work, I downloaded the Fall Creator ISO and ran that update and then had no issues with updates after that. I know it goes backwards but it worked and I have the machine on .309 now.

Thanks, that did the trick!

Did you get that after upgrading to 1709?
We are seeing that after upgrading to 1709, but then it goes away after manually running WU once.

That PC had been on 1709 for many months. Just out of the blue.
