Restart your system by disconnecting the power or holding down the power button for ten seconds
Windows 10 updates keep turning off system restore thus deleting previous restore points!

Why is Windows 10 update wiping out my restore points? On November 21, I created two new restore points (manual). My C: system drive was turned on. My limit was set to 25% and my new 1 terabyte WD hard drive is barely 30% used. This morning, I allowed an update that took a long time to download and install. Afterwards, my Task Manager had new entries, Cortana2. My previous days restore points had been deleted and C: system was turned off in system restore. This is the second time in a month that Windows update has screwed with my settings and system! Why isn't somebody doing something about this?

Hello, after weeks of trying everthing, short of downloading a clean install which I should not have to do, I am still stuck on "detecting problems" using the WU Troubleshooter. It shows a blue bar, running across my screen, with a note: "intiliazing the diagnostic." IT IS STUCK!
When I go into my FIND W10 Update HISTORY, it is empty!
Why is this happening?
I am trying to simple update W10!
