Failure to install Windows 10 April Update(version 1803)

Quality control on a system as complex as Windows, that is used on so many different platforms, is a Sisyphean task. Even designing something as simple as a doorstop that would work with every door in existence would make me despair. As a long-time software developer, I sympathize with Microsoft.

That, however, is absolutely no excuse for not giving users the ability to put off installing an update until said user is satisfied that others have had success. I don't usually mind living on the bleeding edge, and I take precautions if I know I'm about to install an update. The current system of force-feeding us updates is stupid and short-sighted.

I couldn't agree more. I was an IBM  software engineer (now retired). I learned years ago that as sure as night follows day, software fixes break software systems. Different corporation I know, but same scenario.  MICROSOFT please stop force feeding untested software on your customer. BTW "metered connection" keeps them out and Linux has got pretty good these days.  

Updated from my Samsung tablet.

oh...you mean that one... appreciate a lot.!! ty <3

I believe they are referring to the search box next to the windows log on the task bar. Typically Cortana 

can i ask pls.... wtf is "Windows Start Search Box" that you've mentioned becuz i cant find it anywhere!!

sorry im just too new to windows 10

Me computer had been doing the same thing yours is doing for months. I tried everything. In the end I found that several critical files that are needed by the Os were corrupted. I tried to fix them to no avail. I figured I could live with it until the next major update. I thought I could until a program that I use on a daily basis stopped working for no reason. I attempted to fix it and in the end the only thing that  did fix it was.. I regret to say.. was a fresh install of Windows.
