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

Hi Djones_987,

I understand that you're having issues updating your computer. One scenario why Windows Update fails is due to an incompatible driver to the latest update. Another factor is a corrupted components of the update during downloading or installation process. For me to isolate your issue properly, I would need to ask some questions to avoid giving unnecessary troubleshooting steps. Kindly answer the following:

• Did you get a specific error code?
• Any hardware or software changes prior to this issue?
• What's the current build of your computer? Press Windows logo + R and then type Winver.

You may also follow the series of troubleshooting steps on the Fix Windows Update issues **** article. This will walk you through the step by step process to help you resolve Windows Update errors and other issues.

No "codes" - - instead, under "WINDOWS UPDATE" the usual window opens.

WINVER:    Version 1709. OS build 16299.125

I am going to post elsewhere if possible the contents of a Word (.doc) file where Copied each line from SETTINGS.

However, that may not be possible, so here is a COPY/PAST FROM THE .doc file that I created showing this:

• Definition Update for Windows Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Definition 1.269.1066.0)

We can't install some updates because other updates are in progress. Restarting your computer may help, and we'll keep trying to update.

It happened 2-3 times to me, thus I disabled Windows Update on Windows 10. I was lucky enough to purchase 4 licenses of Macrium Reflect for 4 pcs. Believe me, once you get a hold on that software you won't ever have to tremble when you pc gets weird by anything. Even if you lose your pc (stolen, broken), you can deploy the C: image to another pc easily.

I'm not trying to be an Ass but even you must admit, that for the everyday, blue collar, working guy or gal, this is complete and utter BS !!

I've tried EVERYTHING on these Microsoft forums. Well let me rephrase that.  I TRIED EVERYTHING, until my pc got stuck in a loop of complete Darkness. My computer tried updating to 1806 and yes, it failed. It went back to 1709. Then my wife shut it off one night,

( always blame the wife ) just kidding.. Anyway, I started it, idk, a day later and in the toilet, it went. Somehow, it got lost in some kind of

" Microsoft Black Hole "

I, like the other Millions, possibly Billions, DO NOT have the time to sit here and play silly games. I get that your an IT guy and that's great but what do the little people do ??

Personally, I'm Beyond Frustrated. I have an ASUS CM-6850 Desktop. I took my hard drive out, backed up what I needed with a SATA Dock and am in the process of starting from the Greatness of Windows 7 Pro.

I think I'll be staying with 7 until Microsoft can fix, THEIR BUGS that were stuffed down our throats..

No offense to you personally and I know you can't shoot down a company you're working at in a public forum, unless you wanna do an

Al Bundy and sell some shoes. lol

Regardless, it is Very Frustrating.

Take Care

The faking §hit Microsoft does not allow you to turn back on their crap updates. Once again they f...d up my sistem with this 1803 update (Win10),  but I use macrium and go back in 20 min.

I HATE MS!

I have one PC stating, "your update failed."   And, so I have tried:   TROUBLESHOOTER, UPDATE ASSISTANT>>>>you freaking name it!   IT WILL NOT WORK.
