Windows 10 updates keep turning off system restore thus deleting previous restore points!

I appreciate your reply.

Just keep us updated with the result so we can provide further assistance.

Photos of the error message or anything that you may encounter unussual is highly appreciated.

Regards.

What seems to be the error message when you're trying to install the update? Would you be willing to upgrade to 1803?

You may follow these steps to help you resolve your concern.

1. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter. You may refer to this link. Note: The automated troubleshooter will try to identify and then resolve the issues that it finds.
2. Follow the steps on the "Fix Windows Update errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool" article. Here's the link.
3. Clear the Windows Update cache manually. To do this, you may check this link.
4. You may perform a clean install using an ISO file but kindly ensure to save your important data to an external drive to avoid data loss.

Just let us know if you need further assistance. We are here to help.

THANKS AGAIN for that link as I had lost it earlier due to a host of issues with THIS PC....it is my companion PC, an ACER which is not updating well at all.    None of my PC's are that old and all of them, save my newest one, were previus Windows 7 PC's which I am now beginning to think are the issues that keep cropping up with Updates.

I do wisht that MS had decided to NOT load down older W7 PC's with all of these newer apps which may be the issue???   I am not sure, but I surely know that there is a correlation to the number of update issues seen with three of my Four PC's running my accounting programs and so on.   I am running a fairly sophisticated Network here and that is fine now.

But, this very last PC is just nagging me to an endless feeling of frustration.   It is now stuck on "detecting problems."   Let's see what happens next???  I just hope that this troubleshooter does not delete files or corrupt my network, which has happened six times, with my Mouse Sharing program.   SHEESH!

I have been an IT professional since the days of Windows 3.1 and if I had a dollar for every hour of my time that has been wasted by intractable and unsolvable Microsoft glitches I would be rich today.

No problem, Dj!

Here's the latest patch: KB4284822. Look for 2018-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4284822).

Do let us know if you have any further questions.

Hello, I found that update and as of this moment, Pac Time 7:45am, I have noticed that the "Windows Update Standalone Installer" has been in "Searching for Updates on this Computer" mode for nearly an hour.    It shows the usual Green Streaming Progress Indicator.

How long should I allow this to run before opening Task Manager and simply stopping this Installer?  It seems to be stalled.    Is it UNINSTALLING some previously broken installation files or folders?   How might we research if anything is actually happening here?   It is spinning away without progress it seems.

I have some work to do this morning, a Sunday.   I might have to simply stop this process and go back to it later in the day.   Is this a normal process?

Thanks for your instructions.
