    i put it on manual updates as when i restarted computer each time it would do updates then take hours to undo them. i done a factory reset months back then this fault occured. i also can't seem to activate windows. it says 'windows can't activate right now, try again later'. Then when i type in SLUI 04 (i think it is 04 can't remember off top of my head) and i fill out my location, united kingdom it says i need to call a number but no number is there?

    [Most recent cumulative update: KB2919355]

    That is also known as W8.1.1. You should be on W8.1.2 by now (KB3000850). What happened to that one? Almost looks like you are suppressing automatic updates and doing them manually. If so, start with that one.

    Good luck

    I got (KB3106246) and (KB3080333) numbers, probably these are my error codes.  I found this in 'advanced options' under 'windows update' of setting. I do not have 'Change PC Settings' in my computer. I was trying to update since 3 December 2015. I found this (update to be done) is to be done only when my iPhone 6 was not reading on the windows 10. Since then I could not use iTune on my iPhone 6.
