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

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.

OK, I found this forum instruction, from another site:

UNINSTALL FAILED ATTEMPTED W10 UPDATES

Should I try this?

Thanks, everyone,

I have landed on the CONTROL PANEL PAGE and CLICKED, "Uninstall an update" and it is hung up as well, so far.  MORE LATER if  progress is made at all!

I am sure that by now you might guess that I am wondering what has happened to Microsoft Programming, when NOT ONE UPDATE, since I converted to Windows 10, has gone well.  It is amazing to me that SOMEONE at Microsoft has not noticed this issue and then has done something to help us out here in REAL_VILLE.

I am using the links that you provided.   NOTHING seems to work.

Is there a way to ROLL BACK hung-up updates and then perform a clean update?

This is truly amazing to me.   Updates should not be this difficult.   I have FOUR WINDOWS PC's and the only one that updated perfectly was my newest, bought with Windows 10.

It appears to me, and tell me if I am wrong, that Windows 7 updated to Windows 10 is a problem for Microsoft?

Let me know if there is something that I am missing.  I am on my 60th hour of attempting this update, as I am keeping track of the number of hours I am spending on this ONE PC.   What I mean here is how many hours it has SAT doing nothing.

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.

Yes, it is quite unreal what I am going through here to get what should be a simple update to finish!

I am **HOPING** that Microsoft is listening?    My Brother-in-Law told me yesterday that Microsoft **SEEMS** to be making users report glitches and then they PATCH updates to make them work.   Sounds possible.
